So yeah, I'm currently at 2.0.13, and I've decided it's time to get 2.0.18, the latest phpBB release. I thought I would have to manually find all the upgrades and do it myself because of the heavily modded files, but I luckily discovered a unix patch app mentioned in the phpBB upgrade docs that will do the upgrade for me. Hopefully I can get to this tomorrow or Tuesday.
Awsome 
, So what is going to be differant about the forums? More efficiant? Dont think it can be, its fine how it is. Efficiantly.

If it's a huge problem, I can just restore the old site backup.

Indeed. Anyone know where I can get something equivalent to the IPB function that shows spiders and bots with their associated name in the online users?
