And now it will all be lost when my attempt to overhaul and upgrade our databases (moving to mysqli and the new vB structure for the data) and software (we're only 12 versions behind on vB!) tonight results in a fire.

If you wake up tomorrow to nothing but my avatar in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, just try to forget any of this ever happened.

Yes, I'm *that* confident with my mysql, php and *nix skills. :biggrin:

I've got everything ready for the conversion.

Now I just need it to be after midnight.

There's something to be said about lowering your head, closing your eyes, and charging crown-first at full throttle into the unknown. If you do hit something, you'll probably break your neck and never know! :biggrin:

Lol, I just like inspiring confidence.

I've already done it to the site once, just on the other server as a trial run. So I know what to expect where, and it should go quite smoothly. I only expect the site to be completely down for about 20 minutes. The slow part will be rebuilding all of the custom stuff, our revised navigation, and non-standard hacks.

Articles, arcade, awards/medals, and the warning system are the only things that I don't anticipate being able to bring back online tonight. But there's some hope even for them.

What I don't know is whether or not the changes to the javascript will cause problems for people who have them cached. But I can turn on no-cache headers for a few days if that happens.
