Dear Mr. Admin,

Our goal is to keep pace with all new technical and security-related
requirements. For this reason, we inform you today about the transition
to a new PHP version.

From April 1, 2013, the PHP versions 4 and 5.2 will not be supported
anymore. As of now, we will use the version PHP 5.4 instead.

In order to benefit from the new PHP version as quickly as possible, you
should already switch to the new version now. To do this, log in to your
1&1 Control Panel and choose the current PHP version PHP 5.4
under "Global PHP Version". Then, check if your website and scripts run
properly. For more information on PHP, please refer to our FAQ section
at: http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/

Important: From April 1, 2013, the versions PHP 4 and PHP 5.2 will not be
supported anymore. Therefore, do not wait too long before you switch
your version. Thus, you ensure that your website is displayed correctly
and your scripts operate smoothly.

Please note that after the transition, the option "Register Globals" will not
be supported anymore.

Do you have any further questions?
Please feel free to call us. Our team will be pleased to support you - 7 days a week,
24 hours a day: 1 - 866 - 991 - 2631
Or send an e-mail to: support@1and1.com

We wish you a lot of success with your new PHP version!

Yours sincerely,
Web Hosting Team
1&1 Internet Inc.

Sometime in the next few weeks we will do a complete backup of the
forums and make the switch to the new PHP. Hopefully there will no
issues and everything will run fine. If it doesn't, after April there will be
no going back.

I've looked into newer php-bb software in the past and unfortunately the
old is not portable to the new. At least it wasn't the last time I looked.

I've mentioned this to FinalHit in case there are issues in hopes he can
help us out.

Long live MgA4life.
