It shouldn't take very long, but due to a few major theme changes there is the potential for hickups to happen.

we had a delay on this while waiting on a few files. I just ran the update and as you can tell there are a couple things I have to adjust back.

Improved integration with J! 2.5 ACL
A completely new approach to managing custom menu items (e.g. rules, help pages)
New forum views (e.g. threaded topic layout)
Improved topic creation (e.g. forcing a user to select a category before posting in the first-listed category)
Improved subscription/email functionality
Categories now have unique SEF aliases - no mode category ids in the new urls:
New: Global moderators can now manage announcements (before: list of user ids)
New: Global moderators can remove thank you
New: Locked categories with no posts are threaded as sections
New: Shadow topics are now always created when merging topics (keeps old URL working)
New: Router uses Joomla! 2.5 transliteration settings
New: Topic icons for deleted, unapproved, locked, sticky
New: Topic starter and moderators can change topic icon on reply

Removed: PDF output (Joomla! 2.5 doesn't include the library out of the box)
Better organized and smaller language files
Router has been redesigned for better performance and to be more general
Router can convert most legacy urls into new ones
Settings:

Moved: Integrations are now plug-ins

New: Guests / new users need approval on posting
New: Attachment limit per post
New: No category selected on posting
New: Fallback to English if translations are missing

New indication was cleared when someone posted a message to the topic

Can you make the Forum button at the top of the page go back to the recent topics again like it used too?

I can't make that specific button do that because it broke a few other things on the website. But I will give it some thought and come up with a solution or a similar outcome
