Talk Boards - Down for maintenance January 1, 2009

I came across an issue a couple days ago where I was locked out of my own domains due to some kind of posting error on the Talk Boards.  Member Sn0wX mentioned a similar error, which may or may not have been related to the one that affected me.

SMF, the forum software I'm using has a newer software version than the one I'm using - SMF2.0 Beta4.  You may note that I'm using a beta, so it not fully stable - but it has features the stable retail version doesn't offer, which is why I'm using it. 

Months back, I tried to upgrade the SMF software before but was having issues with the upgrade not converting everytihng fully, so I ended up having to delete the upgrade and reinstall the old version using a backup.  It ended up being a ton of hassle just to ultimately get nothing done.  Hopefully I can get this upgrade complete without issue.

Also, I converted the language and HTML files to UTF8.  The language files in SMF have to be upgraded too.

Reminder to myself - remember to copy the /Themes/default/images folder before upgrading, and then recopying over the default upgrade images with my customised ones for Specialty Gamer.  I made a new theme called SpecialtyGamerTheme, but strangely I get permission errors when I try to rename or even delete files in that folder.  Both thru FTP and using the Cpanel backend thru a browser.
