The forum system has been upgraded to the latest version. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
Thanks so much, Michael!
Now... looking for additional smilies...
No problem. Check out these links for smileys:

Are we allowed to link their smileys from their site?
Sonifo - you can link any smiley you want from mysmilies.com
Everyone - I will be upgrading the forum system again tomorrow to the latest version (which was released today). The upgrade will occur somewhere between 10am and 10:30am eastern time, and should take about 5-10 minutes. During this time, you will not be able to access the forum (unless you're an admin, and even then you won't have access to the forum part of the time), so please finish all posts before 10am or hold off until after I upgrade the forum. There is one notable new feature in this new version, and I will explain more about that tomorrow after the forum upgrade. As always, if you have any questions or problems, let me know.l
Forum has been upgraded. Let me know if you run into any problems.
This release fixes many bugs that were found in the previous version.
There is also one (noteable) new feature with this version - "Mark as Unread". This basically allows you to save your place when reading a topic and come back to it later without having to spend time figuring out where you left off. Clicking this button will mark every page from the current page through the end of the topic as "new", so when you click on the "new" image from the message index, you'll jump directly to the first post on the page where you were when you clicked the "Mark as Unread" button. This feature should be really useful to everyone, so enjoy it :)
If you want a more detailed list of all the changes that have been made in this version, please check out the following files:

As always, if you run into any problems or have any questions, let me know. I'll be hanging around here for a little while.
Thanks so much, Michael! Appreciate all you do for us so very much.
No problem. I try to keep everyone up to date here so nobody ends up with an ancient forum system. :)
Thanks, Mike - guess there's a fee for using the smilies....is there not?
Upgraded the forum again today... Not many changes this time other than bug fixes. You will notice the addition of a "jump-to-last-post" image right below the topic info on the message index (currently only in the default theme - I will add it to the classic theme if anyone wants me to). Clicking this will automatically take you to the last post in that topic. Enjoy!
Also, I would like to get everyone's opinion on a couple things:
1. Check out the theme at http://smf.oldiesmann.us/index.php?theme=24 and tell me what you think. I think it makes SMF a bit easier to read, and is also a lot faster because there aren't as many images to load... If everyone likes it, I can install it here...
2. What do you think of the smileys on that board?
Thanks again, Michael for your help here. I really appreciate it so very much.
I'll have a look at the link you gave.
No problem. Let me know what you think when you get a chance to look at that.
Michael, we're inundated with odd symbols and letters since the upgrade. We can edit but just wondering what is the cause of this?
Also, remember the scripture verse that our member from Minsk (Russian language) has in his signature? I think you added a special file for it to show.
Right now, this is how it shows:
Ибо Ñ,ак возлюбил Ð'ог мир, чÑ,о оÑ,дал Сына Своего Единородного, дабы вÑÑкий верующий в Ðего, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную. Евангелие оÑ, Иоанна 3:16
