Hi raviaonhewitt. You don't need to open an issue on the tracker for this, rather ask a question in the forum or do a google. The tracker is where issues are tracked for the development versions of Joomla to iron out issues so they can be merged into the next release. Development on Joomla 2.5.x has stopped. Head over to https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_2.5_to_3.x_Step_by_Step_Migration for instructions how to do that upgrade. You will see there it says you must Select Short Term Support (This is the current text - it may be different in the future) from the drop-down for Update server. otherwise it will not prompt you to upgrade to 3.x from 2.x.x Hope this helps. You are welcome to contact me if you run into any further issues. gfx(at)kalemanzi.com ;-)

Closing as not an issue with the code but a support request which should be handled in the forums.
