Update Of The Forum

[Gteuk]

I am looking to update the forum software over the next couple of days as I notice the databases are having a bit of an indexing issue.

 

I will repair the tables,, carry out a backup and then update the website,

 

When the actual update is taking place I would expect downtime to be no more than an hour.

 

I will also be adding cloud flair protection and Content Distribution, this should help improve speed and deter unwanted visitors.

 

 

Cheers

Database fixed and software updated to a newer version..

 

the next step is not so pleasant,, I will now need to convert the database to a different version and then attempt an upgrade to the very latest version of the software.

This type of update has worked on one of my sites but not the other so it is a 50/50 chance of the final update working, obviously I will do this on development area first.
