[JMI]

One of the things which delayed the effort was something askew in the last backup we had. I literally had to manually remove over 2,600,000 lines of "searchindex" and "word" indexes, before it would accept the backup with a mySQL instruction. Those indexes, alone, were 132 Meg of a 173 Meg backup. The newer versions index every word and number combination.

If you guys get around to updating, I am well experienced. Having worked through the night trying to get it installed and running. If you do start, you have to update through 3.0.0 beta 7 first, and then, to get the 3.0.0 gamma to run, you have to use the "update" script, rather than the "install" script and you need to save a backup of the old Board before that is attempted. You can't "restore" the backup onto a gamma board, because it uses some different tables in the mySQL.
