the last two times I tried upgrading the forum, it did not work right doing the normal upgrade and I ended up having to overwrite everything and start from scratch. looks like I will have to do that again this time.

I upgraded the forum, but all of the topics are hidden and for some reason any user with 0 posts no longer exists. When a new topic is made, it is posted as a reply to an old topic in order that they were originally created. I have about 187 topics to re-create and put back into their original subforums. if anyone wants to help, restoring an old topic is just as easy as making a new one, and it will say you created it even if you did not.

That is done, Now I need to re-install all the add-ons. but now I am going to bed. More updates tomorrow.

I still have a bit more fiddling to do with the theme to get it where I had it before, this is actually a new version of the old theme designed specifically for version 2.0. I am modifying buttons and shit to make it look like it did before. the youtube embedder and shoutbox are back. the image re-sizer is gone, but supposedly it has that built in, so I don't know.

The upgrade is done!

New features include:
  • a better anti spam system
  • a somewhat more simplified user interface
  • a lack of annoyng bugs that stopped things from working before.
  • a calendar!!!!
I don't know what I plan on doing with the calendar, but I'm sure I can find some use for it.

The current version of the website is now Chorus Of One 3.1. In honor of this momentous occasion, I made this:

it is based on this:

which is, of course, the Windows 3.1 boot screen logo.

I have updated the system information page to reflect this. I have also done lots of editing and re-organizing to the website history, go read it if you haven't yet.
