Hello again ladies and gentlemen,
Since about 11am this morning (Saturday, 8/1 EST), I have begun the upgrade for our little block of the world to "v5.0"...
Since we were effectively road-blocked from upgrading for several moons, this was no small feat, but we were finally able to gather the necessary software -- and in some cases find replacement software -- to get us where we need to be.
This included;
As I said, I've been at it about 7 hours now, and I'm mentally broken. You may notice a few weird things that either don't work the way they should, or have changed. The biggest of which seems to be the tiny, tiny Salemspectator logo shrunken at the top of the screen.
PLEASE BE AWARE that I know about most of it, as I do the missing media gallery, calendar, and other options. Those are second-chair to our upgrade, the biggest part being "make it so it works first, then add the other stuff later...
If you don't mind, I'm going to take a break, as in a "go watch a movie and drink a beer to unwind" break and I'll pick up things either later tonight, or probably tomorrow with a fresh (and hopefully showered) head.
Thanks for your understanding, and if you do see anything that you believe I don't know about, please post it to a reply here. I may not respond quickly, but I'll get round-to-it...
Thanks,
Wayne

This included;
- Xenforo 1.4.10 (upgraded from 1.1.2)
- A new theme (UI.X) which is modular and should help future-proof us.
- A new (paid) version of the software that adds the "recent posts" list to the front page.
This was the part that was abandoned earlier, making it impossible for us to upgrade.
