It is going to be necessary to shutdown ShadowMusic intermittently over the weekend of 2nd / 3rd March in order to modify the scripts to account for a PHP upgrade.
Please avoid using ShadowMusic between 8am (UK time) on saturday 2nd March until an announcement is posted that the job has been completed. Posts made during this time may well be lost, your browser may crash and you may get a number of error messages if you try to use it.
From the server point of view this PHP upgrade is necessary because some scripts won't run without it. Then again some scripts won't run with it. Therefore ShadowMusic is going to have to be modified.
ShadowMusic has been quite heavily customised from the original board software (for example, the gallery is a modification) so an upgrade is out of the question because it will lose all the customisations and it would become too big a big job to reinstate them now I can no longer give my undivided attention to the site mid week. So I shall have to edit the scripts to account for those elements of PHP which no longer work.
Thanks,
Bob.
