Upgrade Time!
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:41 pm
The time has come to upgrade to pbpbb version 3. I installed Release Candidate 7 a few weeks ago at: http://www.furtivespy.com/forums3/index.php feel free to check it out - realize that the posts there are a few weeks old. I was waiting for the next release to upgrade - That has come today with Release Candidate 8. So don't be surprised if you some here and the place has changed.
Here's what's new and/or improved (edited down for features i thought people here might be interested in)
