All,
Ive not gone overboard on the falling "things" this year!
First Up Merry Christmas from Me Debs and Luke - hope we all dont get too drunk (not)
Also - here is some news from the Proboards team today, looks like we'll be getting some new "goodies" on the forum.
Once again everyone - Happy Christmas - Not been around much lately as been busy as ever - but new year brings new things for me so I will be on the PC at least 3 days per week.
Cheers All
Mark

Dear Forum Administrator,
I am writing this message to inform you of an upcoming upgrade, and subsequent downtime, for your message board. A detailed list of these changes can be found under this message.
In order to apply this upgrade, your forum will enter a period of downtime. The downtime will only last from the moment your forum begins to upgrade to when it is done. Any other forums that will be upgrading on the same server as your forum will not cause downtime for yours.
The upgrade process will occur sometime between the evening of December 25th and morning December 26th. We do not expect even the largest of forums to be offline for more than 3 hours.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ProBoards Support via PM's. I have linked my name further down to my profile so you can easily find me.
Regards,
Martyn Dale
