Hi Everyone,
We've updated the forum software from IPB 2.0.4 to version 2.1.3. I hate to do software updates often because they erase all our customized settings which are hard to find and fix again as so much time has passed in some cases. We needed to do the upgrade in this case to fix some long standing bugs, namely in the calendar bug, and to fix a few other security type issues. With that said, the upgrade has been completed successfully and I don't see anything unsual. If you see anything broken or awkward please do reply and let me know ASAP so it can be taken care of.
The gallery has yet to be upgraded which will be worked on next.

The gallery is all done. It looks a little different in some places than the old version but I didnt want to modify it too much to make future upgrades less painless. Glad this is all done -- hopefully now we're bug free!

Good job, Mark, as usual. We've come to expect it. One of my favorite smileys is missing in the selection, though. It's the one between smiley and lol. There are two identical smileys now. No big deal.

I see the topic title page has changed and it as a drop down dialog box under options. It happened right in the middle of my surfing this am and I thought I had screwed something up 
. I play around with the settings and see what I get.
I'm glad you keep the forum updated and alert us to the changes, keep up the good work

That's a very kind offer. I looked over old posts and my guy has been replaced in all of my posts with
which is OK. I searched Google and the best I could come up with is below.

I am not sure if it is a problem with my Firefox browser. The current time is 2:48 pm...but at the bottom of any E60 page, I always see the time 1hr ahead like this
"Time is now: 4th November 2005 - 03:48 PM"
It seems like i have this wrong time shown only when I log in and not as a Guest. Btw, i had this problem even before the upgrade. Didnt find anything in my profile relevant to Time Zones
I have got it fixed. There was a setting which got activated once I accessed it. Everything looks fine.
