roland Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Also feel sorry for me who has to do it, and Paul who will be monitoring for any PHP problems that may occur,....... instead of going for a beer :P So better have a beer before the upgrade. So you'll be more concentrate and relax. By the way, why not having a beer during the upgrade ? it's more fun. Then, when it's finish and the job done and well done as usual, you can still have a beer to celebrate the new PHP. :blink: roland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Thanks for the prompt upgrade - it seems to have solved the problem, and speeded things up. Unfortunately, a feature that had gone away seems to be back: after being logged in for a few hours, and having read most of the new posts, the new post indicators have been reset for all the threads I've read. I can live with this if necessary of course, but is there a patch you can apply? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
