Forum software (somewhat) updated

[Lennart Sorth]

As I now finally have time, I have started the process of getting the forum software updated.

This is a long path, involving also having to move to a different server running a newer Operating System, but for now I have upgraded the forum here to the newest possible on this Operating System / server.

I have done the upgrade many times in my virtual environment, but as always - virtual is never *really* the same as the real world, so a few issues did crop up.  Currently it looks reasonably usable - at least until I get to move to the new server.

I have noticed a weird artefact at login where it sometimes issues errors about database updates, but if you reload the page, you get in (which you must have done to read this). Anyway, I am aware of that one.

Also, the post edit screen seems to have lost a lot of its editing features - this is somewhat worse, but I'd prefer to just get on getting the whole thing up to the latest available version, before diving into understanding and fixing this.

Once I feel my virtual environment can perform a good update to the new server and OS, I will get on and get that done too.

I'm seeing some strange glitches, e.g. after posting, all posts show as 'new', but overall everything works! Great work!
