Reminder - server upgrade at 11am today

[charlesr]

There is a Server upgrade at 11am UK Tuesday 22nd December 2015. The server will be unavailable for a couple of hours. If you want to chat in IRC, please bookmark this url: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=bordersdown or join with your own client (#bordersdown on quakenet)
If you are trading up to that time, I highly recommend exchanging emails in case anything goes wrong with the upgrade. I'd expect it to be smooth, but just in case like...

Why is this happening?
There is a newer version of vbulletin with security updates, but it depends on a newer version of PHP than I have available on the server as a prerequisite. The server upgrade will enable a newer version of PHP so that I can proceed with the vbulletin update.

I think this all went well. Everything I've tried seems to still be working. If you spot anything weird, please tag me or post in the bug thread that I get notifications for. Cheers all.

Still have a few more changes to do on the software side, but I might leave those till after Christmas.
