Forum Upgrade !

[ddstoys]

As they say, a picture tells a thousand words and in the world of pinrepair it is invaluable.  Great news that things will only get better.

I wouldn't mind a gentle reminder every year or whenever to send through a donation.  I didn't realise it had been so long since I had donated so I was more than happy to assist.  A request for a small donation to keep the forum top notch and up to date will never be an issue guys so if the forum needs a tweak just let us know, you have seen the sort of response you will get.

Every time I stop work and come in for a breather, I see more member generosity. Just amazing

We are now covered by Code Guard cloud backup. Our first backup is complete. Thanks again to the many members that made this happen.

Next phase will be to upgrade the forum software, so there's a lot to look forward to.

Great stuff.  Upgrading the SMF software will make a huge difference.

Apart from the obvious security benefits, there should be many new and cool features

Thanks for the kind words. Both Nick and myself really enjoy running the forum. I have an IT background, so I put my hand up and ran with it. I don't know much about web stuff, but I don't mind looking after the "IT" side of things.

+1 Both you guys do a tremendous job. Myself and I'm sure everybody else here appreciate it.

I must say we'd be lost without Nino's  IT expertise. The initial backup is now completed, and will automatically be maintained mirroring the site. This does give us a real feeling of security and confidence to move on with the forum upgrade.
