Forums upgraded....

[ShadoeWolfe]

Everyone, just a quick note to let you know we are now running the latest version of the Forum software, 3.6.9.

I was waiting to do an upgrade when the newest version of the software was released, 3.7, but that is still in RC2 stage and I'll only run stable versions on the site. This should have fixed a lot of bugs people have been having, since over 150 bugs and security issues were patched with this release.

Hopefully this tides everyone over until the new version becomes available. If anyone has problems, please let me know ASAP. Thanks...

Quick update and upgrade - security fix to 3.6.10 and CMPS upgrade to 3.0.1 to match it. Hopefully 3.7 will be released soon and we can upgrade to the new features. Watch for it! :)
