Forum Security Update

This evening, the forums will be going down for a Update to security and increase the security rating for the Forums. Here is a basic definations of what will be happening. I won't revel everything.

A: Upgrade of forums from SMF to 1.1.2 with security patches and fixes to outstanding bugs.

B: Maintenance to the sql database.

C: Increasing security to registeration and profile. Examples is visual security going up and the password security increase. This is due to hacking of the server recently and I would like it to stop future hacks of either server or forums which has a in direct link if you know how to decyper it to the server. (extremely hard)

D: In the next few weeks, an security update will be added to the CMS, the website to increase the registration security protocols and fix a few issues to the admin/sql link problems. Stuff most of you never really see.

This is what I am planning and hope to have it done pretty fast. For future notes, Admiral Jayvek has been doing weekly backups of the sql db since I showed her how while I'm dealing with RL problems.
