It was "O dear" time this week. After a "Putin incursion" it was time to update my hobby forum to the newer generation - first time in eight years - from phpbb2 to phpbb3. To keep it short it was/is "very interesting"  ::)  :o  ::). To calm my nerves I was gluing ties on the next two turnouts - which is like placing pieces for a jigsaw puzzle.  ;)  ;D

phpBB is an open source, pubic domain bulletin board suite.  With your own domain space and phpBB you can run your own discussion forums.

I can only guess what a "Putin Incursion" is, since HJ's form is about model railroading.  Maybe the installation has HJ singing "Crimea Tear"?

Used to be like Fortress RhB i.e. you don't get in unless I clear you. That was until last week when someone hacked the forum and left a post all about body enlargement. That was the wake-up call to update to the latest and greatest. With a lot of "on job training" aka looking for posts that ran into the same install problems. But now it's sorted, should be good for another eight years, eh/!! ;D ;D ;)
