We want to make this announcement way in advance so all users have plenty of time to get prepared.
We do not have a definite date in mind, but, along with the release of 1.9.11 we will drop all front line support of 1.9.8. This deadline is going to
be in early 2009. All users have at least 6 months to migrate to 1.9.10 or be prepared to migrate to 1.9.11.
This does not mean we will discontinue to answer general questions, it does mean that we will no longer offer direct support for the 1.9.8 softwares
with modifications or bugfixes.
1.9.10 has proven to be a very stable release which is far more stable than any previous release and all users are encouraged to start making plans
now for the migration. We are still updating hacks for SP3 and 1.9.10, so get those requests in, especially for 1.9.10 so we can all be ahead of the
curve and be ready for the eventual drop of support.
We really are trying to make this the best forum software available. We are trying to listen to all of the wants and needs of the user base with
quality never seen before as well as a feature set commensurate with today's standards and releases that are spread out much farther than ever before.
This announcement will be discussed here:
