I've not touched a wallet in over a year (divorce, custody battle, etc...)

I have my wallet.dat file from over a year ago and I'm syncing 3.2.2 - anything special I need do to get my wallet up and running? Please refresh my memory on where the dat file goes (i'm running ubuntu 16.04) - thanks! - edit - june 3 - nvmd got it working

Same problem. I'm trying to upgrade from 3.1.0.2 to 3.3, but synching is stuck at block 1340327 for over an hour.

Should I have upgraded to 3.2.x first?

Any pointers to the right documentation will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the troubles you have been through @roryn3kids and especially for this late response.
Can both of you @Eats_all_the_grapes Please update to 3.3 and then download a PIVX blockchain snapshot here http://snapshots.pivx.org/ . The guides are on the bottom of the webpage. If you need assistance do let me know.
