This is a quick message to inform everyone that on the 23rd November 2011 at approximately 12:30 GMT the site will go offline. The board will re-open at 00:00 GMT on 24th November 2011.

During this time we will be performing some crucial work to the site which should enable us to deliver you a greater experience.

I'm looking forward to this with ibProArcade on IPB 3.2.3 (that is the latest copy available at the moment)

Yes it will be version 3.2.3 as Ryan11433 stated. We are really excited about the upgrade. It has taken a lot of preparation to get us to a stage where we feel happy to finally be performing the upgrade. We hope that everyone will show their support by joining us on the coming days after the 23rd, in particular the 24th. As stated we are excited for this upgrade and as a result we will be offering additional downloads for everyone in the days after the upgrade.

Just be careful because this board version you are on is not supported anymore. Remember to backup your database prior upgrading.

Yes we certainly will. I regularly make full backups of the site, but will ensure a full backup including the database is made on the Tuesday ready for the upgrade on the Wednesday. We certainly don't want to lose this site!!

Not supported... I think that's because this version of the software is ancient and practically antique lol.

Okay and a example of what I meant is to backup the database to your computer as a SQL file for just incase if you need to run a query later on that is in the backup file. Of course backup your files too :wink:
