PS OWLs are awessome!
Got an idea for my new avatar! LOL

[Wynand]

*INSTALLED :D*


Nice work guys :D

I think someone owns me 5 bucks now...

[Stilgar]

It downloaded very fast. Thanks vB team!

[Floris]

Yay, downloaded and installed - good job everybody :)

Enjoy upgrading your live sites people, and don't forget to make a backup first :)

[obmob]

OH, i guess today is a great day to update, thanks :)

[SaN-DeeP]

thanks I am off for updates now :)

[amnesia623]

Woo hoo!

[MrNase]

The term 'gold' in software terms has nothing to do with the color of the application.

I love that sentence. :D
Could you imagine a 'gold' skin? :p

[Paul M]

Cool. Downloaded.

[ctrl-alt-del]

Yee-haw!!!!!!

[Omega Prime]

Uploading as I speak. Thanks for the gold release :D

[Fusion]

Great job, everyone. :)

[SaN-DeeP]

The are the template changes since 3.5.0 RC3 ONLY
What does this line means ?

[Ohiosweetheart]

Now let's PARTAAAYYYYYY!!!

[Floris]

What does this line means ?
That means that the should have probably been these

I've reported this to mike

[Chroder]

Brilliant :) Will probably upgrade this weekend.

[dakar]

Glad to have gotten to the download area before the rest of the masses figure out it was released :) I'm off to play...

thanks gang!

[Kerry-Anne]

upgraded, and only 14 templates to fix up. great job, smooth upgrade. perfection at it's best :D

[Floris]

Have fun! And don't forget to report any bugs to the bug tracker (if you run into them) ;)

[Timan]

I had a feeling today would be the day. Awesome work as always. Can't wait to upgrade aqua-soft's forums use that infraction system!

[MrNase]

Will do the upgrade this night. I somehow have the feeling at it's not going to end up well.. :( I am quite sure I'll have some problems with the templates like last time where I overwrote all custom templates by accident. :p

[Tungsten]

Thanks for your hard work, devs. I'll upgrade a little later today after traffic dies down some on our forum. Lunch hour is too popular with the users for me to take the forum down right now. ;)

[Floris]

Magic word here is: *backups*

good luck though - let us know how it went

[aelion]

Again, the quick development is the reason I much rather use commercial software than Open Source. Phpbb is still, after more than three years, working on their latest version.

Thank you vBulletin!:D

[Wynand]

I think I was the first person that was running it! :D
It was running at 7:01AM GTM +1 :D

[Telesik]

thanks for the great work, vBulletin is the best forum engine :)

[Gomjaba]

I'd like to thank the whole vb staff for your "I wanna see it now" patience :D

You currently show up unlicensed but give me the impression you have a vBulletin running. Please set yourself up in the members area > priority support > so you show up licensed.

[poolking]

Now get ready for all the posts asking when 4.0 is going to be released. :D

[Icy]

aaaaaaaaa.. Its released!!!! Gonna upgrade my site tonight :D

[McDaniel]

Thanks guys.. You always have been good. Except that grumpy Steve fellow. :)

[robben hod]

Thank you! :)

[TCattitude]

Aleluya!
Thanks jelsoft ;)

[Fusion]

Pssst!
Kier...We're still waiting on that list of changed files ;)

[Zachery]

Pssst!
Kier...We're still waiting on that list of changed files ;)
I hope you are not serrious :p a List of changes files between a beta and final has never been done as far as I am aware. 3.6.0 and its next release will have a list of changed files.

[effectica]

Thank you Jelsoft :)

[amnesia623]

So when is Vb4 coming :)

I'm excited and nervous to upgrade from RC2 to gold.

[Floris]

So when is Vb4 coming :)

Make a backup of your files and database and then upgrade. Or make a test upgrade on a seperate account first as a test.

I've done a fresh install and a 3.5.4 > 3.6.0 gold upgrade and everything went just fine. Good luck!

[Fusion]

Changed Files

The majority of files have changed since the 3.5.x series, though a complete list is provided below.

Serious as a button. :p

[Razasharp]

Kier - You have a typo in the 3.6 gold announcement, post two has: These are the template changes since 3.5.0 RC3 ONLY

Should be 3.6.0 ?

Well done on a good job! Look forward to installing 3.6 :D

Thanks for alerting me to this. I renewed my Owned License on June 21 and the member area shows I'm current. But, evidently, not here on the forum. :)

Thanks for letting me know.

[Floris]

You could start a support ticket and I could look into it for you if you want.

[MrNase]

I told my members to get all their important stuff saved because the forums will be offline by 8pm :D


Floris: Yes, I did a backup.. But things got complicated because of my stupidness.. :p:rolleyes: Which means: No system is perfect because every system is maintained by humans. ;)

[Tailfeathers]

Thanks vBulletin, it looks great. Time to renew my license so I can download. :D

[amnesia623]

I've done a fresh install and a 3.5.4 > 3.6.0 gold upgrade and everything went just fine. Good luck!

I've only installed add-ons thru the plug-in/product system, will this be a problem with templates? Will the upgrade overwrite the templates?

And do templates turn red (in the edit template window) if the template has been modified by a plug-in/product?

Oh - and I customized the navbar template myself, will this be a problem?

[Limerick]

... when do you plan to release v4.0?


...just kidding :D

[aelion]

You could start a support ticket and I could look into it for you if you want.
I think I see what the problem was. It should be fixed now.

[Tigurius]

I would like to personally thank the staff at vBulletin for giving me a reason to go home early from work today... I am now home WOOT! *starts installing*

[Floris]

Yep, you show up licensed now :)

[Floris]

...just kidding :D
Friday - and that's an unofficial and poorly estimated guess. :)

[neal007]

Where is the "What's New" list so those of us that have not followed the 3.6 dev can learn what's new since 3.5.4?

[Floris]

I believe they've linked to it in the announcement.

Many visitors to this forum will have been keeping tabs on the 3.6 beta and release-candidate versions that have been available for the past several weeks and will be familiar with what is new and improved in vBulletin 3.6. For those who have not seen what you can expect, there is a thread available here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/../go/36features) for your benefit.

I am using those upgrades to tidy up the server. I tend to upload all different files. Now I download them again and upload the files I really need. ;)


ALT+S would be nice for the update script, you always have to click the button. :p

It went as smooth as a 25yr old single malt

[MButler]

I'm just testing to see if my sites major hacks work 3.6, then if all goes well, we'll upgrade!

Good job guys :D

[Scott MacVicar]

Yeah I added them for the upgrade + install.

I'm super lazy :)

Or use the undocumented option to autoproceed (not recommended for general use). :)

Well seeing as PHP 4.3.3 is an earlier version of the one you currently use i would assume that the answer would be yes

[Ohiosweetheart]

4.4.2 is newer than 4.3.3 ;)

edit: lol !@I-web. touche'!

4.4.2 is newer than 4.3.3, so yes, that is fine.

[TheKnight]

Hmm.. I've got quite a lot of hacks that are suitable for 3.5.x, will they still work fine if I install 3.6.0?

[slayer666vb]

Thanks Kier for This Incredible jump
Indeed I had a question which is:
About the hack of the flashes, Movies and etc … in the 3.5.4 it was easy to get hacked from hackers and I was afraid of using it because of that reason.
How will it behave in 3.6.0?

[TheKnight]

Hmm.. can you set preferences for the 'Who's Online' on the new version?

[UnderEstimated]

yayyyyy but how to install it i dont know anything about it lets c :(

[Icy]

Did anyone notice that we also released 3.5.5, 3.0.15 and 2.3.10 at the same time as 3.6.0?
I noticed :D I noticed :D I noticed :D
Hmm.. I've got quite a lot of hacks that are suitable for 3.5.x, will they still work fine if I install 3.6.0?
Most of hacks worked fine for me in vB 3.6 RC3.. Hope it 'll work also in vB 3.6.0 Gold!

[nexialys]

yayyyyy but how to install it i dont know anything about it lets c :(

if you READ THE ANNOUNCEMENT... there is a BIG LINK to the HowTo install...

[TheKnight]

yayyyyy but how to install it i dont know anything about it lets c :(There should be a readme :rolleyes:

We're going to upgrade when the license owner comes online.

[minx]

Thankyou guys for your continuing hard work & high standards which make vB the best!

-M

[Darkblade]

Thanks for the update! :D

[good2laugh]

Nice work clever vB people. :)

Ok, so are you going to create a "how do I" and "tips and customisations for 3.6" forum folder or should we use 3.5...... not that I've got any questions... <yet>

[MrNase]

I am almost done with the update.. :)

Updating the template isn't nice especially since I haven't found a Mac-alternative to BeyondCompare. :(

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Gold at last!!

Thank you for you to decide 3.6.0 is stable, you have made a great job ;)

[Caiman]

What a nice suprise, well done and a big thanks, vB Team :D

[Glen C]

AMAZING feature set additions.

Thanks guys... this is fisrt upgrade i'll be installing day-1 :)

[jontprice]

ok, so the best I can google or dig up here are updates and features from RC1, 2, 3, etc. Is there a full list of updated/new features available in 3.6 Gold somewhere?

I would try to assemble one from various locations, but surely someone else is more informed than I am on what's new and can just post the lowdown for everyone.

TIA

i've done the compare in less than 5 minutes!

[t3nt3tion]

Simply EXCELLENT. I got my owned license not far from now, so I can get almost a whole year of vB 3.6.0 updates :D

[MrNase]

Bah don't tell me BBedit can to file comparison... I've bought BBedit when I got my Mac butt ill now I didn't know that it can compare files. :eek::(


The update is at 99%.. I am just checking the functions, doing some cleanup and stuff like that. :)

[Sephiroth]

Excellent.. I have upgraded my forum without any problems.. Good work! :D

[Blue-inc]

[alserb]

Hello,

Did a great job :D

[Blue-inc]

Kier has deactivate wol because it don't support anymore guys who trying to view when he makes announces of new releases :D

Eh? So he turned it off becuase he didn't like people seeing when he was going to post? :confused:

:p:)

[nexialys]

it's because of server intense use in the next hours... when everybody comes here for the update... really hard on server if we check everything online etc...

i suppose it will be back when Kier stop making happy announcements.

[eXaulz]

Wooooowweeeee! Awesome!!!!!

[.:mak:.]

Awesome, just updated my forum no problem :)

[Fusion]

There should be a readme :rolleyes:

We're going to upgrade when the license owner comes online.
There is. ;)

[d0man199]

That was my very first vB upgrade and it went as smooth as can be. Thanks again vB Team!

:cool:

[Weapon-x]

Did I have to delete any old files? Because I did not do a clean upgrade I just unzipped the file and uploaded it. Also it look's very great this time. I just need to find my post about Vbullet Grey Style and fixing the width...I should find it some day :). Thanks and keep up the great work!

[Luca_000]

upgrade done :)
www.hostingtalk.it/forum/ on vb 3.6.0 :)

upgraded to 3.6.0 with no problems but the "Powered by vBulletin version 3.6.0
Copyright ©2000 - 2006, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd." no longer appears in the footer .. all I have is 3.6.0 !?

[Inaam]

i'll be upgrading tomorrow, gotta bit of testing to do with mods.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

In the announce, you specify the SHOWTHREAD template is edited to remove the accesskey="s" code completely, but in a style never edited, I can see it.

The real thing is to remove all accesskey="p" instances, not accesskey="s" ;)

Edit: And you don't add the SUBSCRIBE template in the announce, it has been edited ;)

[Emil]

Upgraded and everything's working fine!

[Rocol]

Another trouble free upgrade, great work vB Team :cool:

thanks

[Ranma2k]

woha thanks :)
now i have to update my forums :)

For now, everyone should disable PDF attachments in all versions of vBulletin (and just about any other web application you use)

Gotta love IE content type handling :(

What about pre-existing PDF attachments. Are those an issue also?

[SonicGT]

Can't download right now, is there too much strain on the servers, or is it me?

[conqsoft]

See four posts up.

[Floris]

A new security hole?
A newly discovered IE security issue that isn't specific to vBulletin - by the looks of it.

[Jonathan Young]

Well, i can't download and i don't use ie, i use firefox.

[Kier]

What about pre-existing PDF attachments. Are those an issue also?
Potentially, yes.

We are looking into a workaround to prevent IE acting improperly.

[ManagerJosh]

Well, i can't download and i don't use ie, i use firefox.
Doesn't mean that it doesn't affect the rest of the people who use IE.

[Floris]

Our apologies if this causes any inconvenience to you. This is a necessary step to take right now while we go and try to fix this problem. Business will resume as usual pretty soon for everybody.

[Moparx]

congrats on another fine release :)

[barroca]

the downloads really is closed?
tks
b.

[omegatron]

the download seems to be missing functions_newpost.php from the distro. Several files in vb are crying that it does not exist

[BamaStangGuy]

Score another one for Microsoft and their crappy browser

[hornstar6969]

Went to my admincp saw that 'Gold' had been released. Started singing 'so exciiiiiited, so exciiiiiiited' ^^ lol Then was thinking of pulling a sicky as well ^^ Then it all came crasing down lol.

cant wait til it is up and running :D

[ctrl-alt-del]

So does this mean people shouldn't upgrade their forum and wait until 3.6.1 is released?

[MRGTB]

the download seems to be missing functions_newpost.php from the distro. Several files in vb are crying that it does not exist

Try looking for it on your server end, if it shows it as uploaded. Delete it and re-upload that same file. I had the same problem even though the file was uploaded to the server. It must have got corrupted during the upload. I deleted it and re-uploaded the same file and all was fine then.

[TVsac.com]

Great :)

[hornstar6969]

If you have pdf files already uploaded on your site what is the action you need to take to stop any exploits happening, and what is the actual exploit that could take place.

with this pdf problem solved.
right?
:confused:

[ToastBusters]

I don't need pdf support, no one on my boards uses pdfs in attachments anyway. If that's the hangup then it isn't an issue for me.

[harmor]

The same day 3.6.0 Gold is released they find a potential security hole.
I just find that amusing.

[Moonkat]

I'm an idiot, maybe, but what do PDF files have to do with wanting to download it for the first time after purchasing the license this week?

I'm just bummed that tonight is the first night I have a chance to download and install & can't. :(

[MrNase]

They have discovered a potential security hole made by Microsoft but the team here wants to include a fix so that vBulletin customers are save. :)

I have nothing against it, security is a top-priority thing.

I've disabled the PDF extension for now, just to be save. :)



Floris: The upgrade went fine, this time I didn't mess up the forums. ;) Come on, check it out at http://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussionsforum/ :)

[KoC]

I think the developers work now on the new security hole. I think its not an good idea to upgrade to the Gold version. Members from my board uploading always pdf files.

Developers please close this security hole and let us download the new version of vbulletin.

[tEChniiQue]

I'm only using one template with my community. It's a custom template all the way around. Will upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.6.0 effect my custom and current default template?

If so, is there a way around it to continue with the upgrade? If not, this will be installed as soon as I get home from work tonight.

Thanks for the work put into this release.

[MR-2ZZ]

I have PDF's disabled :( I wana download! :eek:

[Mirrorball]

Now I know what I'll do this weekend. Thanks for this great release! I hope it will become available for download again soon.

[Transverse Styles]

are active users removed? just wondering if it's a feature setting.

Well, if you mean 'custom' as: you have added your own template, this will not be affected at all. Infact, it doesn't even get touched by the system. ;)

If you have modified one of the default templates you get the chance to compare both templates so that you can make the changes you've made to the 'old' template to the new template so that your plugin/hack/whatever still works.
This one is a bit more work but vBulletin made it easy with the template comparison feature. :)

[ZGeek]

Developers, take your sweet time and don't stress. I'm happy to wait because I know we'll get a better product in the end and thanks for keeping our boards safe. :D

Nyer, nyer to the rushy-wanties.

[t3nt3tion]

Arghh, I downloaded the new vBulletin just a few mins before they locked the downloads..... bad luck or what..... Well, I will disable pdf uploads though, and my forum isn`t accessible yet, so I`m secure :D

[t3nt3tion]

Yeah, take your time and work calmly, not like the modernbill crew.They messed the whole product.I think you should buy them..... :D

[Scott MacVicar]

This is IE's great, "I'll ignore what you sent as a content type and try to work it out myself" feature.

So if you send application/pdf, IE wont trust you and check the first 256 bytes to see if it can do better, end result is an XSS. A very similar if not identical issue to the GIF appearing as HTML issue that was posted last October with IE.

[SecondV]

Arghh, I downloaded the new vBulletin just a few mins before they locked the downloads..... bad luck or what..... Well, I will disable pdf uploads though, and my forum isn`t accessible yet, so I`m secure :D
Same here. Downloaded a few minutes before. I've already upgraded, though.

[cygy2k]

I have a question on these new releases as well. I have RC2 installed along with vbAdvanced. Can I just upgrade VB and install my upgraded template from TransverseStyles and that be it or do I have to reinstall vbA?

[serg472]

So, are we waiting for IE patch? I don't see how vB developers can fix IE's problem... :(

[MR-2ZZ]

Id love a copy I have my license and everything!

I also have this thought. Maybe we must wait for a new release of IE. Microsoft please help us :D

[conqsoft]

Kier just posted the patch on the 3.6.0 Release Announcement.

[KoC]

Thanks Kier :)

[Scott MacVicar]

We'll be releasing our own fix shortly in the form of a patch + updated packages.

IE7 Beta 3 does the same as previous versions so we'll attempt to document it and submit it to Microsoft's IE7 bug tracker.

Good luck!

And thanks for the updates & patches.
Such a shame this came to light after the release :/

[conqsoft]

That's why IE7 is ignoring my content unknown mime type I have set for all video types. Where it used to prompt the user to download, now it just opens media player automatically.

[tEChniiQue]

Well, if you mean 'custom' as: you have added your own template, this will not be affected at all. Infact, it doesn't even get touched by the system. ;)

If you have modified one of the default templates you get the chance to compare both templates so that you can make the changes you've made to the 'old' template to the new template so that your plugin/hack/whatever still works.
This one is a bit more work but vBulletin made it easy with the template comparison feature. :)

Thank you, that's exactly what I meant...I've created my own custom template w/o using the default or using the defaut as a parent template.
So for me, it's update time tonight...THANK YOU

Will vb 3.6.1 be released or will vb3.6.0 be released still?

[KoC]

The member center always still show this error message. Please do not forget it.
Sorry

Downloads of vBulletin have been temporarily suspended while a potential problem is investigated.
Please try again later.

[nexialys]

best fix for the IE issue is to ZIP all downloaded content.. a simple zip process handler would make IE and all browsers to simply download any document to the desktop... in a zip file.

It will be open when ready; we're not forgetting it :)

Thanks for your answer Floris. Sorry for my impatience.

I think that is a great idea. When a member uploads a file it automatically gets put into a zip file, if it is already in a zip file then nothing happens. This would not only compress and save space, but also fix the exploits that may occur.

[MrNase]

It will be open when ready; we're not forgetting it :)


How could you?! :rolleyes: I am pretty sure the support system is full of tickets asking for the download. ;)


Thank you for the fix, installed and working. :)

[majidm]

nice work VB team

Hey, the patched attachment.php corrects it. :D

[Scott MacVicar]

Yeah but who wants to have to keep downloading zips and unzipping for a single image etc, its not very user friendly.

Also imagine the server resources required for zipping, its a fairly intensive server process depending on what algorithm used and compression level.

[Floris]

How could you?! :rolleyes: I am pretty sure the support system is full of tickets asking for the download. ;)


Thank you for the fix, installed and working. :)
We have a canned response and yes, quite a hand full. A lot of people that want to impex from phpbb and ipb and ubb etc to vBulletin that want to download as soon as possible too. All extra work :) But no worries, that's why we're here :)

[KoC]

I thinks its not an good idea. It may couse high server loads, when anywone uploads a file. For example on my board the users can upload files up to 40mb.

[WorkAnimal]

Thanks vBulletin! ;)

[serg472]

I completely disabled all attachments long time ago. They were crying at the begining but then used to free file storage servers, there are tons of them. Attachments are pain in the neck, it was big relief for me to get rid of them.

Sorry for offtopic :o

[ToastBusters]

I don't like this. Imagine needing to unzip every attachment you want to view...

Wouldn't work on mine, too many images.

[simsim]

Thanks for the gold release. Yet IE had to spoil the joy of it!

Time to up up upgrade...

[serg472]

Looks like download works again! Thanks vB team!

[hornstar6969]

you got my hopes up!!!

Sorry

[serg472]

Come on, I just downloaded it!

EDIT:
Ops, it stopped working. But it was working for a few minutes, I downloaded it.

Anyway, I don't have any attachmens so I can feel free to install it...

[TJBass]

Yes it has JUST started working like 1 second ago, did not when you first posted.

Great job on the release.

[Dream]

thank you

and downloads are back

[Zonex]

nm, they are back

[Mike Sullivan]

Downloads are back and additionaly patches are available. (Issue discovered at 9 PM and patches made available at 2 AM. Not a bad turnaround time I'd say.)

[Caddyman]

i just d/l'ed it about a hour ago

[TJBass]

Jelsoft, if this takes longer than 24 hours to fix, please do the right thing and extend the renewal of anyone who renewed today by however many days this takes to fix.

Thanks
Its working now, I must say Jelsoft are amazing, at at 2 in the morning as well.

[Sephiroth]

Heh. I've already patched my forum... Good job Jelsoft. ;)

[Kier]

I am knackered...

[haris_led]

I am knackered...
Hi, is it OK now? thanks :D

[joshx]

are the images changed since 3.5.4 still as listed in the 3.6.0 beta 1 thread?

[1996 328ti]

I am knackered...Good word. One that I never heard of before.

2 entries found for knackered.

[Kier]

Hi, is it OK now? thanks :D
Yes, it's okay now.

We have worked around the issue by forcing all non-image attachments to open the 'Download File' dialog rather than attempting to display in the browser, as Internet Explorer is simply too unpredictable in its treatment of rogue file types to allow this any longer.

Therefore, PDF attachments will now give you a 'Save / Open' dialog box rather than being displayed in the browser.

[Floris]

are the images changed since 3.5.4 still as listed in the 3.6.0 beta 1 thread?
I believe so, and I think the GDK's have also been updated.

[Ohiosweetheart]

wonderful. I hope y'all who have worked so hard on this today get to sleep in tomorrow (Kier and everyone)... you deserve it!

*big hugs*

[Floris]

Think twice! Now that the majority of the customers will upgrade to 3.6.0 gold the chances of finding bugs we didn't find before might actually increase. Kier has to wake up early to start fixing those :)

If you want to sleep > don't be a developer :)

[Scott MacVicar]

9am start and a 3am finish, not bad for a release day :(

[conqsoft]

3am? Nah. It's only 10pm. :D

[KoC]

Updated my board now and everything works fine. Thanks for the developers of the best forum software. We love you vbulletin developers.:o

[TJBass]

Its a bit late now (3am in the UK) but still gotta install it and give it a go.

Multi quote looks fantastic.

[Floris]

4:20 here, when will the support tickets stop coming in? :d

[Freesteyelz]

4:31pm Thursday in Hawaii.

I really need to time my vacations better. :) Anyway, congrats vB team on the 3.6 Gold release. Now I can no longer procrastinate. :D

[smackLAN]

Very nice work and big thanks to all the vb team! I've upgraded 8 styles tonight...only 30 to go :p

[ctrl-alt-del]

So where's the patch information?

[Floris]

What do you mean? The file is in the last post of the attachment.

[ctrl-alt-del]

Sorry, now it is I who doesn't follow. I re-downloaded the package, but I see no patch files. I'm already on 3.6.0 so where's the patch that needs to be applied?

Thank you.

[conqsoft]

Read the 3.6 announcement. There's a patch file there.

[ctrl-alt-del]

Okay, got it. Thanks!

[SonicGT]

Took less than an hour to get my forum upgraded and redo my customized templates (although didn't have alot)
Only thing is I had buttons redirected to a different folder, so was missing multiquote ... easy fix there.

Thanks for the great product and ease of upgrading!!

I went from 3.5.4 to 3.6, didn't beta or use the rc's, waited for gold all the way, LOL

[Griffin80]

awesome thxs

[Quillz]

Nice to see the gold release came rather quickly. I just upgraded my test board from RC3, so I'll probably be using ImpEx soon.

[Floris]

impex targets are 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6
sources for vb right now are 2.x, 3.0.x and 3.5.x, not yet 3.6.

Meaning: you can install impex on 3.6, but can't impex from 3.6 to 3.6 (yet)

This applies to impex 1.57

[TVsac.com]

Great :)

[carolem]

I don't have time to upgrade for a few days - do I need the patch in RC2?
Carolem

[jubmedia]

We are running 3.6.0 Release Candidate 3. Did much change between that version and the stable Gold version (other than the new PDF security change obviously). Just wondered what got patched and such. Thanks in advance.

[Steve Machol]

Yes, many bugs were fixed just as with any upgrade.

[chewbacca]

Does anybody know what was changed in the SUBSCRIBE template? My templates are heavily edited and if someone would be kind enough to tell me, I won't have to comb through all of it. :)
Thanks.

[Convergence]

Perfect timing! Had just finished installing for the first time 3 days ago and my forum was not yet live!

Upgrade went smooth as smooth can be.

Nice new features as well.

[harmor]

Why not install a fresh vBulletin of your current version in a different database.
You upgrade it to 3.6.0 and compare the templates.

[chewbacca]

I just viewed the default template to compare. ;)

Like I said, it's very heavily modified. I'm just going to go through it by myself now.

[chewbacca]

OK, after my first run through it I couldn't find anything different that would require a revert. I'm also very knackered at this point so it would've been easy for little things to slip.

[Gomjaba]

OK, after my first run through it I couldn't find anything different that would require a revert. I'm also very knackered at this point so it would've been easy for little things to slip.

Same here - I upgraded from RC3 to gold and had suddenly 17 ! templates to revert .. but when I checked the compare function it only had additional code marked (done by me) or code which I removed ... So nothing to revert here either ..

[Carlos X]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I hope to secure enough money to buy my very own Vbulletin! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! :D

AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

[EcKo^uK]

Very nice release!

[Carlos X]

Is there a Impex for upgrading from VB3.0.3 to 3.6.0 (how fitting the name is - 360 degrees, heh)?

[armstrongx]

when I checked the compare function it only had additional code marked (done by me) or code which I removed
There's a template compare function?

[haris_led]

Can someone tell me which templates are changed from 3.5.4 version??? In the vbulletin manual there is not something to inform me about this!
Thank you!!! :D
