This is available in the control panel for a small % of forums. Anyone using this should be aware that they may be the first person using it on a particular server with a particular myff domain forum, and that this process has only been tested on a few forums so far. So be cautious, and be quick to report issues. If an issue occurs simply trying again is not going to help! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I think the control panel dialog makes it clear. You will not lose your phpbb2 forum. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

the text has changed a couple of times and what's there now isn't as detailed as a previous version... but nevertheless.... I'm one of the 90%

is the 10% a random selection ?

Not random in the sense that you may see it if you try again. Each forum has a number and it is based on the last two digits of that number being above 90, so it is actually currently 9% being allowed. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I will lower the bar again in the morning. Simply no point in encouraging upgrade tests at this time of night. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
