What is this?

This is a simple little "hack" that creates a maintenance page for your forums while you upgrade or want downtime. I figured will the updates from vB3.6.8 to vB3.7 this might be useful. Might save some people from displaying that Database error page while they configure the new files.

--------

This took about 5 minutes to create so feel free to customize it to however you like.

--------

Instructions:

Upload Maintenance.php and Maintenance.jpg to your forum root. When you want the page to display simply rename the Maintenance.php to index.php and it should be your homepage by default.

Note: Be sure to rename your old index page so you don't overwrite it.

This is the case on my server, could be difference from yours. I'm not a server expert in the least.
