Hold onto your butts
So this never happened obviously
But I'm resurrecting this thread as a warning that I am going to try to plan a time to upgrade to SMF 2.1, which despite being a minor version upgrade is not trivial in the slightest, sh*t is likely to break. The main reason for this is that PHP 7.4 is end of life and I need to move the forums onto PHP 8.x before I start getting charged real monies for extended PHP support. Plus security and all that... After that I will consider doing the HTTPS change too.
Backups will be taken, ofc

Trying to get everything we don't need into storage to make the place presentable for viewings while dealing with kids has been a nightmare. But, we're hoping to have our house on the market in April/May now.Pretty much the same mate. Move to bigger place is something I want to do this year but kids work and the wives who say they are busy every day and do the "kids hard work" but expect you to do a million things as soon as you come back from work do not really do as much as they make it seem

Has been a crazy few years where everything seems to be just f'ed up for the most part due to a few things including the lurgy.
I do not do new years resolutions and hate the concept but I always try to roughly outline the plans for the year and work toward ticking those off. Anyone got any plans for the year or anything they hope or would like for the year?

« Last post by knighty on December 25, 2022, 14:28:20 PM »did you guys know a tub of lip balms lasts for ages? like a year ages???
I didn't.... she likes lip balm....
browsing around the net nought a couple of the same as the one that was in her bag, then picked a few random ones... then a few more... (they're only cheap)
then I saw a display box made for a shop with a selection of 30 in it.... so I bought that
so now she has enough lip balm to last her the rest of her life :-o
(and she loves it tbh)
but the best bit is... I'm going to buy loads more... then drop extras in her bag every time she comes over
I can't wait for her to start ranting about multiplying lip balms
after a while I'll look for a weird one so it stand out that she didn't already have that one :-D

Photography / Re: Pondering selling all my gear and consolidating
« Last post by Binary Shadow on December 22, 2022, 09:49:18 AM »Just popped back to the forum, hadn't realised how long since I last visited.
Anyway, similar situation here, haven't opened the camera bag for at least 2 years (certainly not during the pandemic and maybe quite some time before it hit).
Not doing any harm keeping it but its certainly not doing anything currently, just too much weight to carry on walks so I use my phone and I don't dedicate time to specific photography days any more (air shows/motorsport events).
Not sure I'll sell as its still 'good' but its just taking up space at the moment. Hope the batteries haven't given up...
