Well, after putting it off for as long as possible I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade the site to DNN 3.2 last night. I had been running on DNN 2.1.2 for well over a year and although it was very stable it was time for me to put DNN 2 to bed. As of now, I will only be releasing new modules in DNN3 or DNN4. I will continue to release critical bug fixes for any existing DNN2 module owners but the DNN2 modules will not receive any upgrades in functionality.

One lessson I learned through this upgrade experience was, "When you purchase a module, purchase the source so you aren't left out in the cold." I had purchased a few modules that could not be upgraded due to a now non existant supplier and had to either remove the functionality from the site or find a new module that replicated the functionality. Purchase modules from developers that are in it for the long haul and not those with a passing fancy to make a quick buck. You may save a little time and money at the beginning but in the long run it'll end up costing you in time and aggravation when the next upgrade comes along.

That said, I'm shopping around for a new forum module now and will hopefully be saving the existing content and getting it back up soon. Also, I'm planning on replacing the Free Text Box with something else because it continues to give me nothing but grief.

Also, there may have been a few lost user accounts along the way. I am working on restoring the remaining accounts. If you are one of the unlucky ones and need access immediately, please re-register. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Note: All user accounts have now been restored!

Well, onwards and upwards. I'm looking forward to finally utilizing some of the increased functionality of DNN 3.2 and maybe in a couple years I'll upgrade to DNN 4 :)
