Forums Upgraded

[Justin]

The forums have been upgraded from vBulletin version 3.6.4 to 3.6.6 if you notice anything weird or any bugs let us know and we'll look into them.

It's only a bug fix release so in all honesty it probably won't be noticeable we've changed at all.

Did you have to revert any templates Justin?

We have had major problems and had to change back to 3.6.4

Everything seems to look okay at the moment, we haven't reverted any templates so far, but I'm going to look into that the next day or two to make sure changes are made in them if they need to be.

I tested locally before for half an hour and all was fine.

Ahh

Its when you revert the templates, thats when the problem occurs on ours. Good luck, let me know.

Ged, did you do a test upgrade first and only have problems on the main site or just put it on the live site? If you don't already, running test upgrades (on a copy of your board) might be worth while. I do that and prepare any template changes/reverts locally and then I have them ready to paste into the templates when I do the live upgrade.

I would imagine your upgrade would be more problematic because I guess your templates are a lot more customised from the default than ours. I assume when you revert some of your templates to the vbulletin default ones it breaks the customisations in your style.

Hi Adam

Yes on our test domain, all was fine until we reverted the templates, they have changed some global hooks etc ready for the new Blogging tools etc.

However Beyond Compare is a pretty useful tool and so we are working on them at the moment.

Yeah I've used a similar text file compare tool before for comparing templates. Generally updating the templates seems to take the most time - it can get pretty boring looking through all that HTML copying and pasting over changes from one file to another.
