As many of you know, I've been meaning to upgrade the website for some time now and some of you have provided very useful feedback over the past few months - thank you. Well, the time has come to bite the bullet!
The problem with upgrading is that there's never a perfect time and *something* will always go wrong! To mitigate this, I've built a test server out of egg boxes and sticky back plastic and done some "offline" experimentation.The outcome is that I can successfully migrate the entire site to new software with one proviso - the comments module which allows registered users to add their own comments to other people's articles does not exist in the new software :( So, if I upgrade we'll lose people's comments.
