To get this fix, please log in to your client dashboard and download 4.10.3p2 and the Classified and Video Sharing plugins and upgrade via the normal upgrade routine.
For those not wanting to upgrade, you can apply the patches from the changed files in the Changelog. Just use a file compare tool such as Beyond Compare or Diffmerge to find the changes.
As always we highly encourage all users to do a complete backup of both files and database before performing this upgrade. Please have the backup performed by your host or a developer if you’re not comfortable with performing it yourself. Always check with third party experts for compatibility with any products you use before upgrading.
Important: If you are on version 4.9.4p1...    less

Performance of the site is very good speed wise. This lends itself to the script and great hosting.  

Sounds great! :) Glad it's going well.

We hit 41,000+ page views yesterday - not bad for soft launch of the site!

How do we require this to be filled in = right now it is optional on our site and I do not see the setting to make it mandatory

We created a user level called banned and placed them in there - is there a way to hide the fact that they are awaiting approval? Does SE have a ban feature?

You simply go in the mappings and click a button to import the current members to that profile type. Then once those members log in, they will be in the new type. 
Newer members joining would get assigned to the type based on the mapping.  

LOL :P
