POP Forums v19 for ASP.NET released

Get the latest bits here: https://github.com/POPWorldMedia/POPForums/releases/tag/v19.0.0

This is one of the biggest feature releases in POP Forums history, and also involves significantly new front-end architecture. The v19 release introduces a notification system, image uploading, better post quoting, private messaging has been turned into real-time chat, and more. The documentation is here: https://popworldmedia.github.io/POPForums/

Upgrading

To upgrade from v16 or later, run the PopForums16to19.sql script included in the PopForums.Sql project manually against your existing database. You will also have to manually purge all of your PM history (the pf_PrivateMessage table), as the new chat-based system is not compatible. If you're starting from nothing, check the documentation for those instructions.
