Over the past several weeks, I have been working on a MySQL version of the E-Blah Forum System.  This is a "lighter" version of the flat-text system.

You can download the Beta version to test on your own server from the downloads page (under E-Blah SQL Beta).

If you are a users of E-Blah 10.2, you may convert your forum to the MySQL version using the converter built into the installer.  There are a few known issues with the converter; however, it should work in transferring over your data for testing nicely.  You can read more information about this version and post bug reports on the thread located on the Forum Updates board.

I hope everyone that can use it enjoys it!

As a final note, there has been a little worry on the forums that this version will be the successor to the flat-text version.  This is not true.  The flat-text version will still be maintained.  The MySQL version is completely separate from the flat-text version.
