We're currently running SMF 2.0.17 from three years ago.  SMF 2.1.1 is the current version, and it has a bunch of desirable features -- including things like 2FA, better BBCode, better mentions (ever try to tag the Seneschal in a post?), better mobile support, and the ability to write drafts of a message.  Maybe it would be a good idea to schedule an update at some point soon?

I will take a look at it.

This feeds into a broader question of what to do with the "back end" of Talossa's online presence. The incoming Government is negotiating getting a new citizen into the "Minister of Technology" role (since Eðo Grischün is completely overwhelmed with extra-Talossan affairs right now) to sort out talossa.com; but I know the Chancery have also indicated the need to take over the Database completely from MPF, who also has much better things to do outside Talossa right now.

So, with all that and perhaps updating Witt's software, perhaps kill three birds with one stone. Total overhaul of our online stuff is a top priority on which the Government intends to work closely with the Chancery.

I've successfully updated the forum to 2.0.19, a release that is only four months old. From what I can see, updating to 2.1.1 will possibly overwrite anything custom that was installed when this version of Wittenberg was first created. As I don't wish to "break" things, I will not be updating to that version until I have a plan in place. I'll keep this on my list of things to do.

Cool. Thank you! Let me know if I can help with the big update. I'd be happy to lend a hand.
