Well the upgrade wasn't trouble free. Still going to test a few things to make sure all is working.
I had to fiddle with database structures to get the upgrade to work. Been pulling my hair out again. Not bald patches yet that I know of.
The forum was a little slower than earlier revision due to the amount of features it has. This morning I installed a plagin that someone has written which optimises some parts making it a little faster. Seems to be working well.
