On April 30, 2016, the SawdustZone site will be down for an upgrade. Because of the changes to VB5, there is a significant portion of manual configuration so we estimate about 7-9 hours to complete the process. About 2 to 3 hours to make backups and perform the technical upgrade, and 5-6 hours to do the manual configuration necessary.
This would be a good day to spend in the shop instead of hanging around here.
The basic plan is:
As always, if things don't go as planned, delete the upgraded site and restore from backups and try again another day.
