Dear valued Members,
we would like to inform you of an impending update: after long deliberation and intensive (and still ongoing) preparation we have decided to finally upgrade to vBulletin 4, as the current software version vB 3.8.x will no longer be developped and supported.
The upgrade is not trivial and I have spent weeks testing and customising it. These procedures have not been concluded yet, but I expect the upgrade to take place within the next two weeks.
While there are significant technical modifications in the backend, members will most likely not be able to notice any changes in terms of functionality, although there are supposed to be some new features.
- No mojibake: we made sure not to change the DB encoding, so all threads featuring double-byte characters will be ported over seamlessly.
- Editting posts without losing formatting also appears to be working. Finally!
Please find a screen shot below. We shall keep you updated about the upgrade in this thread and during the upgrade on the JREF FB page.
