• We've had a recurring problem with the "No posts exist for this topic" error for the past few weeks. Indie is working with the hosting company to resolve this issue. Just know that your posts aren't actually lost....they just cannot be seen temporarily. Any time you see this error happening please email me at
chris@booktalk.org with a link to the error message page. I will try to get it resolved as quickly as possible.
• There is a newer version of the software that we use on our forums. We're currently using phpBB2.0 and phpBB3.0 has been out for quite a while. I'd like to upgrade at some point, but the process will be expensive and time consuming.
If you would like to see BookTalk.org upgraded please consider donating through our secure PayPal account. You will find links to donate in the sidebars. People that donate will receive a special icon under their name designating them as a BookTalk.org donor. They'll also see their names appearing on our DONATE page at
http://www.booktalk.org/contributors.php
The full cost of this upgrade will more than likely exceed $400.00. Your help would be greatly appreciate and without help the upgrade just isn't possible. Donations come in waves it seems, but the last wave was months ago. I'm hoping for a tsunami soon so we can take BookTalk.org to the next level.
