Hello all,
During the next few days, we'll be undergoing a bit of an upgrade here on the forums. Please be patient if things don't post as quick as usual or if there are a few minor issues...
Here's what they sent us:
Will all of my old codes in my headers/footers still work?
While the majority of codes will still work, we can not guarantee that every single one will. The majority of codes that will be affected are going to be codes related to the Info Center. If you have a code installed that modifies the look of your info center, we recommend you get the most recent version of that code designed for version 4.5.
Where are my user's recent posts?
You may notice that the recent posts feature in your user's profiles is missing for all posts made before the upgrade. You don't have anything to worry about, that data will appear soon enough. We left it out to make sure your forums get upgraded as fast as possible, leaving you with very little downtime. In the hours after your forum is back online, you will then find that this information returns like before.
