Hey all, So as mentioned, the upgrade of Confluence will finally happen on the 22nd - I'd do it earlier, but I'm off site for a couple of days, so I'd rather do it when I'm around to fix the issues that will inevitably occur right after it's done.
Just so it doesn't bite you by surprise, here are a couple of things that changed in recent versions of Confluence (remember we're upgrading from 2.10 to 4.2, so there's a LOT more than that) * Default themes have changed - the Clickr Theme and Left Navigation Theme are not bundled anymore, and will be replaced automatically by "Easy Reader" and "Documentation". * "Autowatch", a new feature, will be turned on for your username by default. You will be able to turn it off by editing the email settings in your profile.

No more "rich text editor" or "wiki markup". The new editor is kind-of a visual editor, but lets you use markup as well. I was skeptical at first, but it seems to work really well !
