Upgrade vBulletin

[|Overlord|]

After using some other forums for some time, I think it would be a good idea to possibly upgrade vBulletin to version 3.5.4 (or what ever the latest version may be). I could edit a post on the fly without having to wait for a new page to load up. take a look at this example below.

That's if it's not to much of a hard thing to do.

The only person who can upgrade vB on the server is Greg. Since I can't get him to fix the smileys, I doubt he'll be willing to upgrade the board.

If the proper preperations we're made do you think Greg would allow ESF to be hosted elsewhere?

Does he still consider us a high priority?

Lol, I've been pestering Greg about it for a little while myself.

You would have to backup the database first I would imagine, and it would be pretty big by now I bet =P.

You don't, but it's recommended...

Database backups should be automatic (cronjob + shell script to FTP it to another server) anyways
