Title: New Server, New Software Post by: SS on July 12, 2008, 04:40:34 PM Ok, so despite having a dedicated server I hadn't bothered to switch bpsite forums from my old shared hosting.
Well I did that this week, and it turns out that Invision is too crap to handle PHP5. So, after poking around trying to get it working, I figured it was simpler just to upgrade to a newer version. Except Invision is no longer free, so I simply grabbed SMF and a converter, and after a bit of jiggerypokery with the database and conversion script, I got it working. Welcome to BPSITE SMF Forums. :) Title: Re: New Server, New Software Post by: mole on July 24, 2008, 03:52:47 PM yarr! but all these controls are very wierd

Hornet said SMF was all wonderful and great, but I'm not really convinced. :/ Title: Re: New Server, New Software Post by: mole on July 24, 2008, 09:55:01 PM theres so many lines i cant tell what posts what
