SMF Fish Forum Upgrade
Yesterday I upgraded the forum software to the latest version of SMF, which is currently version 1.1.3. It took a few hours to do a major backup of the database, attachments and other important files and then the upgrade started. It took a couple of tries and once had a CPU exceeded error, but it finally clicked in and the upgrade finished successfully.
We have a slightly new look and feel to the fish and aquarium forum but the main reason for upgrading was for security enhancments and hopefully new mod packages that will be coming out. There were some issues with some older mod packages that we we’re running (member location map, smf seo, etc) and we are starting from scratch with all new mod packages. I will continue to make changes as needed and implement ideas raised by our members. Some of the best ideas have come from the Fish Lore members.
New avatars are also available and we’ll be adding more soon. If you’re not a member yet, stop by and browse our Aquarium Fish Forum. I think you’ll like it. We have some fantastic members (3500+) and we’re growing daily.
Thanks for reading,
Mike
