Sorry, but there is no support for boards with illegal content.

It's safe to use.
But would be better to upgrade to the newer version (3.2.0).
Bugs and security issues are being fixed with those updates/upgrades.
And 3.1 support will end at some point.

Fair point I'll use it until there is no longer support for it, tried upgrading already but it didn't do anything :lol:

What do you mean, what happened when you tried?

To upgrade you should follow 3.2 User Guide - Upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2. Many thousands have managed it successfully so unless you have some kind of special setup there shouldn't be an issue.

I am using it all localhost. I will also try it again using the link you provided :) I just hope the style will work afterwards, I'm using "blackgreen" style.... So I try to uninstall the "ne-blackgreen" style but am told I can't uninstall the default style, not sure what's going on lol.
