Hi all,

We're overdue for some regular maintenance, and I'd like to schedule that for March 16th. During this period of a couple hours, the forums will be turned off, and some server restarts will be performed. We will be updating to the latest EasyApache builds, which updates PHP to a supported version. We will also be patching vBulletin and updating the server's kernel.

Once the forum software is updated, we will need to update all forum plugins to support things like the Classified ads form and other customizations we've added over the years.

Estimated downtime 2-6 hours, to occur at some point during that day, when Tom and I both can coordinate.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks Zig.

But all is not lost. The 16th and 17th is the weekend for the 44th annual Kalamazoo Living History Show.

First part was done early this morning around 6:45AM.

Just some prep work needed to get us ready for the main portion of the effort.
