IMPORTANT!! September 26, 2015

[Site Owner]

Hey folks, Evan here.

I am taking our site through a LONG overdue overhaul. This morning (Saturday 9/26/15) I successfully upgraded the core software (phpBB) to the most current version. This was way overdue and the reasons are numerous: 1- It's scary! 2- I wanted to make sure all of the other server software was compatible and 3- It takes a lot of time and concentration to do it right and I just had to bite the bullet and get to it.

The latest version of software will offer many improvements for us, not the least of which is a mobile-friendly responsive design. I'll be exploring possible new features as well over the next few weeks. The other thing you will immediately notice is the default phpBB "skin" or style. I'll be working on customizing that too. Another big thing - I know most of you regular users have the forum bookmarked, bypassing the actual home page of FiatSpider.com. You will need to update your bookmarks for this new installation.

Hang in there with me while I work to make this forum the best it can be. I want to extend a huge thank you to all of you that have donated to keep this site going over the years. That donate button is still works and is on the home page! I will get it back into the main forum header as soon as I can complete the new styling.

Thanks again everyone!

I'm pretty decent working with this kinda stuff (I'm a software engineer).. If you have any questions, or need a hand, let me know.

Thanks John! I appreciate that. I'm getting through it so far but you never know, I might get stuck and it's good to know you're there.

Thank you, for keeping it going. Can't help with computer stuff, as I am still amazed by "Pong". But, if it catches fire or you need your heart jump started. I'm here for you.

Good job!
I would suggest taking advantage of htaccess / mod_rewrite to redirect all o fthe old /f08/ pages to the new /f15/ path. Most all of the links on other peoples sites and google don't work anymore
