Forum Upgrade in Progress

[MentaL]

Hi,

We are in the middle of upgrading the forum. As you can tell it's currently incomplete so expect a lot of errors until it's fixed.

Thanks.

List of incomplete stuff

- Style
- Server configuration
- Search database
- Cache
- Lots more.

Downtime delay was due to database char set incompatibilities.

All advertisers will have compensated days.
