Another update. My ISP has given me instructions for using the latest versions of underlying technologies and all is now well on that front. The blog upgrade isn't quite production-ready, and we have several options. I'd appreciate feedback on these, especially from those of you with blogs!
1. Wait until the upgrade is ready (unfortunately, I don't have a date for this).
2. Implement the latest (alpha, which is a pre-release) version, on the understanding that any blogs may lose their data (this is a restriction of the alpha release).
3. Implement the latest version and migrate data from the old blogs. Unfortunately, the upgrade of data from the current blog system seems to only "half" work (which I'm in the process of fixing!). Again, any data cannot be guaranteed once the release version is ready.
So - apologies for not having sorted this before migrating the forum. But any feedback and thoughts would be appreciated. Due to several security risks that have been addressed in the new forum, I really did need to upgrade
Cheers,
- Pete
