Just a reminder. The updated board has been a solo project so far, but other contributors are quite welcome. Presentation and logic are separate on the new board so you don't need to know PHP to work on HTML and CSS. Likewise, you can work on the logic without worrying about the HTML and CSS aspect. Just let me know via profile addy and I can set you up with access to the source code repository.

From the current host:
Hi, DreamHoster! We recently alerted you to an impending operating system upgrade of your individual VPS instance on the host machine, "iad1-vshost75".
The day of your upgrade has arrived! Within the next few hours we'll be upgrading your VPS and its host machine from Ubuntu Linux version 12.04.5 LTS (also known as Precise Pangolin!) to 14.04.5 LTS (aka Trusty Tahr!).
If you have more than one VPS and aren't sure which one is on this host machine, you can check the Support / Data Centers page in your DreamHost Panel, below (just look for the "VPS" section):
The upgrade will be done in two phases. First, we'll upgrade your host machine, which shouldn't take longer than an hour. Once this is complete, we'll begin sequentially upgrading the VPS guests, which may take up to 25 minutes. Keep in mind, this means there are two separate periods during which your VPS (and websites) will be unavailable.
In most cases, you won't need to do anything to prepare for the upgrade. Just kick back and let us handle the tough stuff!
If you are using Ruby or Python, or run a site that relies heavily on specific server packages, we strongly recommend reading through the page below for known changes that may affect you:
We'll email you again immediately before we begin the upgrade process, and again once we've completed our work.
If you've got any questions about any of this, please don't hesitate to contact our technical support team. They're trained and ready to help with any upgrade-related questions or concerns.
Thanks very much for your patience while we work hard to modernize our fleet of servers and bring you the absolute best performance possible!

Upgrading to 14.04. Not exactly living on the bleeding edge.
The beta board (really alpha as there are still issues on the board for beta milestone) now has a subscribe button when displaying a thread. A minor improvement, but one of the last pre-beta issues I have left for regular users. Mostly going to be admin stuff until beta now.
Contact me if you want an invite code or want to be added to the Gitlab project.
Gave admins the ability to edit and delete all posts. Add code to disallow editing a post when manually entering the edit URL for another user's post (unless it's an admin).
Progress will probably be on hold for awhile as I have a bunch of new stuff to do for my wife's business.
Thank you for all that you're doing, Gud!
