Links module alternative in DNN9.2 Started By Stuart Hi Currently in progress of upgrading several largish DNN sites from 8.0 to 9.2.

DNN Upgrade from 9.0.1 to 9.2.0 Started By washboardalex We are upgrading our DNN installation to 9.4.4 to take advantage of the latest memory leak fix.

I still had the Newtonsoft.Json error...	3	2618	2	2/22/2020 6:13 PM by washboardalex

Upgrading DNN Started By Deleted User I have never installed/updated DNN. I have never set up a website. I enherited our companies site. I see the 'Critical Update' red bar above the DNN Icon.
