Actually, you'll need PHP 5.4 or higher in order to upgrade to 2.0.14 ... the part about requiring 5.3 is being corrected.

Is this a right away thingy, or do we get a notification?

I didn't mean for you to change the theme, I was just saying it was bright for me personally. Some people like bright themes, some like dark.

Aw, that's OK. I didn't like the previous one either. This one suits my taste better.

if you want to run SMF 2.0.14 you NEED php 5.4+ installed on your server.

You can find the patches in your package manager there should be a link there.

Or you can grab them at

Hey, I just realized who you are. I've been using your mods for a while. You're famous my friend!!!

if you want to run SMF 2.0.14 you NEED php 5.4+ installed on your server.

So is this something I can ask Hostgator to do?

[Illori]

you can ask that does not mean they will actually do it.

You should be able to do it from your control panel.

A quick search for 'hostgator upgrade php' on Google suggests this page: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/php-5-6-server-update

The principle should be the same on your account even if you don't go to 5.6.
