Upgrade the forums to a newer version?

[Altiris]

I just noticed our forum version is on a much older version than the current release, are there any benefits to upgrading the forum to the current 2.0.3 version?

I know there is a simple way to upgrade it and you download this update pack named "Large Update"

Er.. why?

Not sure, thats why I am asking. Would it remove the silly 75x75 image limit for .gifs? Little stuff like that, or is that a preference Badspot set?

75x75 is a perfect limit for avatars.

This, changing it would make everything obsolete.

Oh wait, it wasnt for .gifs but I think for transparent images, its really annoying when editing a picture though.

He's updated a couple of times for random reasons, It normally tends to break everything.

Lol really? Do you know what the new forum version added? Im basically just wonder if there are like big changes/options when making posts and stuff like that.

It's a setting in the admin panel. Oh and what? Here. Have a 800x256 GIF.

this
there are forums that allow you to have huge avatars and they're really annoying and there are others that only let you have really tiny avatars, and they're hard to see
75x75 is a good size

[Cybersix]

I'd prefer to have 100x100 avatars

You're not really going to get big changes until we end up on 2.0 for some reason. Although we're only .2 versions behind in 1.1

The forums are simple, but it works. If anything, I'd like embed Youtube players

i don't really see a need to update
the forums seem fine as they are
