Forum upgrade inbound!

[Eric]

I'm going to be installing a medium-sized forum update in the next few minutes, as soon as my backup has completed.

There are lots of new features, but most of them aren't relevant to our community.

• Emojis will be added, lots of them. They are the standard emojis you are used to seeing on mobile devices.
• I've installed a security certificate and the whole site will default to https.  
• I'll be implementing Google's newish invisible Captcha service as an additional layer of protection against spammers. It works by magic.

Unless something goes horrifically wrong, there shouldn't be more than a few minutes downtime.

Thanks!

 Done!

Edit: Almost done.  I have a few more things to take care of before those last two bullet points are finished.

Testing emojis.  Modifying style sheets to increase their size a bit.

In mattis gravida egestas. Aenean pharetra pretium  hendrerit.

Edit2: Alright, seriously this time, all done.
