[PitchouneN64ngc]

Long time with no update ;)

Thank you for this :)

[Mazinger]

Cooool. I belive it will be clean secure version. Good Job. :)

[Kier]

I assume that you early posters can read reeeeeeally quickly if you've already read the whole of the release announcement?

[Floris]

vBFans patched! Thanks for the fix :) I will upgrade fully when I have a bit more time.

[ReQueM]

thanks ;)

[Mazinger]

I assume that you early posters can read reeeeeeally quickly if you've already read the whole of the release announcement?

You were the fastest to post the thread, Kier. :)

[MidnightPyro]

The developers still live ;) It's nice to see security fixes being done so quickly.

[antiekeradio]

just to be sure, the list with changed files/xml is included so that from the previous version, (3.6.4 ) these are all the files i need to upload/overwrite?

[ahmed-samara]

You were the fastest to post the thread, Kier:p

[DjSuBo]

thanks ;)

[Colin F]

The patch only fixes the vulnerability, to upgrade fully, download all the files and overwrite your current files, then run upgrade.php

[ardid]

hi, i cant patch, i upload the patch file, and install folder but when i push NEXT do nothing ...

[Colin F]

Patching your board doesn't require you to run an installation, only to upload the patch file.

[TheFrienzNetwork]

Dismissed. :P

Great work!

[PhoneiX]

There was a long time without an upgrade. I had been started to think vBulletin team is sleeping:p

You tell us sth about next version in announcement, when will you release it?

[Mazinger]

They were not sleeping for sure. Because the new versions were released in the same day the issuse was discovered. :)

[PhoneiX]

They were not sleeping for sure. Because the new versions were released in the same day the issuse was discovered. :)

I know they work hard, not sleep. It was only joke:) Now I'll upgrade my board. Great work again vBulletin Team;)

[edge23]

Quick question peeps I realize that the "3.6.5 release contains no template or phrase changes, "

Does that include both the Patch and the upgrade??? As I would rather
just do the whole upgrade.

[egyptsons]

Good work ;)

[TheFrienzNetwork]

Board upgraded already! :)

Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.6.5

Yay. :)

[Colin F]

Quick question peeps I realize that the "3.6.5 release contains no template or phrase changes, "

Does that include both the Patch and the upgrade??? As I would rather

Yes, the full upgrade doesn't have any template/phrase changes either.

[edge23]

Great TY Guys!!! upgrading now...

[---MAD---]

Long time with no update ;)

Thank you for this :)
Indeed :p.

[Grimday]

I have hacks added..will this effect anything?

[epctechno]

They were not sleeping for sure. Because the new versions were released in the same day the issuse was discovered. :)

Well then they had to rise and shine then to get the job done ;)

Many thanks vB team for this!

[---MAD---]

I have hacks added..will this effect anything?
Very much doubt it.

[mecho]

Thanks :)

Upgraded

[epctechno]

I have hacks added..will this effect anything?

I have 211 hacks added and as far as I can tell you better backup your board fully and then do the upgrade, and if something fails I wouldn't blame vB :D. So the answer to this is hacking the original board is on you!

[Grimday]

Very much doubt it.ok this is my first time i'm using 3.6.4 just download the recent pack and upload the files and overwrite others right?

[Icy]

That is why I love vBulletin :D. Patched. 'll upgrade soon. Thanks.

Download the new zip, upload the file overwriting your existing one, point your browser to install/upgrade.php Run the upgrader and thats it.

[Grimday]

i used the patch..lets say i do the full upgraded and already added the patch..would this mess up anything?

[epctechno]

that is what i have installed

Well double check each one of those and I have three forums fully hacked to the HILT and my sysadmins are upgrading now for each one. As when they are done I'll have one of my guys double check each one... It's best to always double check EVERYTHING after any kind of upgrade!

[Grimday]

ight cool thanks man

Kerry-Anne,

Hope all is well, I just wonder why no one never reads the vb3_readme.txt or .html :D:


Upgrading from a previous version of vBulletin 3

Close your board via the Admin Control Panel.

Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.

Open your browser and point the URL to http://www.example.com/forum/install/upgrade.php (where www.example.com/forums/ is the URL of your vBulletin). You should now be automatically forwarded to the appropriate upgrade script and step.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you click next step or proceed until you are redirected to your Admin Control Panel. Here, you can reopen your board.

For a complete description of how to upgrade from a previous version of vBulletin 3 to the latest version, see the upgrade section [http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade] of the vBulletin 3 Manual [http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html].

Please note that the format for config.php in vBulletin 3.5.x is different from previous versions of vBulletin, and you will need to manually update your config file to the new format. Instructions are here [http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/editconfig].

[---MAD---]

ok this is my first time i'm using 3.6.4 just download the recent pack and upload the files and overwrite others right?
Yeah. Download the package without images since the images havent changed from 3.6.4 :).

[epctechno]

ight cool thanks man

NP dude but all those hacks are nice too, I have each of those I think on all the forums. I like the billdonate the best... FREE forums needs funding from kind hearts sometime :D

[Grimday]

how about the xml?
Yeah. Download the package without images since the images havent changed from 3.6.4 :).

[antiekeradio]

The patch only fixes the vulnerability, to upgrade fully, download all the files and overwrite your current files, then run upgrade.php

uploaded the changed files, ran update, everything OK.

(i did make a backup before trying ;) )

[Colin F]

You need the xml files.

[---MAD---]

Holy cows..thats like all the hacks on vbulletin.org LOL. Thats pretty dangerous having that many. That really does increase the chance of your forum being hacked by like 500% I would say..

I would what upgrading to the next major version for you will be like..

[---MAD---]

how about the xml?
As colin said, you need the xml files as well as the code files.

[Grimday]

where are they located? I just downloaded the package without images. so i guess xml is included in that one. right?
You need the xml files.

[epctechno]

What's this ieprompt?

[drakeman]

After update I have a problem with charset :( My language use charset iso-8859-2, but I had a little problem with some chars

č > ?
ť > ?

and so I edited includes/init.php file and after:

$vbulletin->db =& $db;
I added:

mysql_query('SET NAMES latin2');

but this change doesn't working in this release.
Please help me :(

[Colin F]

What's this ieprompt?
I assume it has to do with this:

Internet Explorer 7 Compatability
Much has been said about Microsoft's decision to make the Javascript prompt() function throw a security warning whenever it is called. This change resulted in vBulletin's text editor system throwing security warnings whenever a user tried to insert an image or an email link. The use of prompt() for Internet Explorer 7 users has now been discontinued in favour of an alternative method of collecting user input.
More info... (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?do=view&bugid=1263)

Additionally, improvements in Internet Explorer 7 mean that certain aspects of the vBulletin pop-up menu system, which were previously required to circumvent rendering issues, can now be bypassed. Most notable amongst these is the code that hides all <select> elements that would intersect with the menu when opened.

[Wish]

No problems upgrading. Thanks a lot.

[Assim]

I assume it has to do with this:

Thanks, I finished upgrading!

[Xoligy]

If anyone manages to use this exploit to hack you, you are one extremely unlucky person.

[Cromulent]

Easy update as always. The thing that took the longest was uploading the files :).

Thanks Guys and Girls :D I just have to remember not to do this from University next time their quite angry at my FTP traffic today :D

I upgraded, and after the upgrade I am having a problem with the inline edit post function, as in it doesn't work. When you press save, nothing happens. Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?

Deleting a message through the inline editor when editing posts works fine, it just won't submit when I hit "save" - Again, are anyone else experiencing this, or is it a local problem for with my board?

Update: Upon further testing, it turns out it does actually submit the edits when I hit "save", it just doesn't remove the editor and display the updated post. Still in the dark of what might be causing it though.

[Onimua]

Yay for patch! :D

Will upgrade when I get home. Great work vBulletin team. :)

[hitboy]

If I have alot of mods installed should I not update until the mods update?

Will this effect any of the mods?

[TrIn@dOr]

Hello, this will be my first Upgrade, sorry for asking.

Reading the main (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221905) post of the upgrade i can read this:


Updating your vBulletin to Fix the Potential Exploit

...
...
Patch: A second option is to download the patch files discussed in this thread and upload them to your web server, overwriting the existing files. The patch is available from the Members' Area patch page (http://members.vbulletin.com/patches.php) or you can find it attached to this thread.Downloaded that, i only need to upload it and is all finished?

Or only will solve the security issue?

[Scott]

Thanks for the update :)

[Fly]

Is there a way to just download the updated files?

[leepayne]

Will I lose all of my mods/hacks if I upgrade from 3.6.4 to 3.6.5?

[hescominsoon]

most likely not..but backup your board and database before upgrading..always.

[karlm]

Thanks for the update...installing :)

[rgod]

This morning, an exploit was reported

no, I used your emails to advise you some days ago
and no response




Although the report is inaccurate and the published exploit does
not work as claimed unless a highly unlikely set of circumstances exist,
it has highlighted a potential
security issue in these vBulletin versions


I tested against local and remote installations of my test servers,
and it worked out with the default control panel settings and
with different IP addresses and with the "claimed" results.
However, I understand that, when an security bug is discovered,
you can feel pain or feel attacked. But I appreciate the patch release,
because *I* have respect.

Also, I should say, that using the INTO OUTFILE method with our SELECT
is possible to export a php shell inside the www path, if Mysql has the
FILE privilege or execute arbitrary php functions like benchmark() to
raise Mysql CPU usage to 99%. So you should not minimize this like you do.

best regards, rgod

[---MAD---]

Will I lose all of my mods/hacks if I upgrade from 3.6.4 to 3.6.5?
Not if they are plugins / on seperate files..if its code modification then yes.

[MrNase]

Thanks guys! :)

[blind-eddie]

I didnt think I would ever catch up to all the post being posted....

[TrIn@dOr]

Thanks for the update, all done.

[DinamikNet]

Upgraded ...
Thanks Vb team..

[Tom_S]

People keeps saying they aren't losing their hacks but if you upload all the files from 3.6.5 then you are over writing any modifications you made to any of the php files or the includes files. Now how is that not going to happen?

[Cromulent]

People keeps saying they aren't losing their hacks but if you upload all the files from 3.6.5 then you are over writing any modifications you made to any of the php files or the includes files. Now how is that not going to happen?

You should be using the plugin / product system not editing PHP files directly.

[Tom_S]

So what you are telling me is that when a mod says to edit for example the functions_online.php or any files in the root I should skip that part? Or are you telling me that I should only use mods that are imported through the ACP and leave it at that?

A few mods have edits that are hard coded into the php files. For those of you doing the upgrade I would suggest finding out which ones first before you have an issue. I am sure I am not the only one that edited files to install mods from vb.org

[---MAD---]

You dont loose any plugin hacks or hacks that use seperate files to the default vbulletin files. Obviously if your hack is a code modification, then you will need to re-add the changes :).

[Tom_S]

That is what I said but thanks ;)

[Umut Ceylan]

thank you
lets go vb

[creativepart]

Is there a way to just download the updated files?

I'm with you on this one. I just updated 3 vB boards this past weekend, and I have some custom changes to templates etc and I only want to upload the changed files, the install folder and that's it.

I know I can manually go through the list of changed files and then delete everything I don't need, but really... a quick download of the changed files only would be fantastic!

UPDATE: Ok, I made my own "updated files only" version. Uploaded it and ran the upgrade.php without any problems. But it sure would be nice to have this kind of file provided in a situation like this.

[Sysop9001]

Thanks for this work :)

[JakeS]

I'll upgrade when I renew my license, Patched for now.

[wii]

Upgraded - that was easy !

Thanks

[Eagle Creek]

Wow! I totally missed this update! Shame on me!
Why didn't we get any E-mail?

[JakeS]

Well since its an update and I'm the kind of guy that HAS TO be upto date Renewing my license now.

[Colin F]

I wouldn't say 'missed' yet, it's only been out a few hours :)

[mikaelweb]

thanks :rolleyes:

[Darkblade]

Thanks for the update! :)

[JakeS]

All upgraded and working fine :cool:

[Luca_000]

update done.. thanks :)

[JamieLee2k]

If I upload only the files that are changed, then by rights I can run the upgrader.php and it will update to the latest version, since there are no template changes my whole forum should be intact.

Simple........?

[ttmtt]

Cooool. I belive it will be clean secure version. Good Job.

[Daisil]

I can't seem to install it right..


I downloaded ALL the files again and I go to update and I enter in my Customer# and all it does is reload that page.. nothing else happens..


Any ideas on this?

[vigape]

How to use inlinemod.php?

Some link to manual for use it?

[JamieLee2k]

just upload it to the same dir it was in which is the root of the forums

[Daisil]

Ach this sucks.. I have to use a Proxy to get into my Update.php file and once I follow everything I go to my AdminCP and it still says I am running off of 3.6.4!

[vigape]

just upload it to the same dir it was in which is the root of the forums

I do these but vBulletin returns Invalid Action Specified message.

what can i do ?

[JamieLee2k]

I do these but vBulletin returns Invalid Action Specified message.

what can i do ?
did you install the patch then try to upgrade it?

[Black Tiger]

I just upgrade to 3.6.5, did not overwrite all files. But I did deleted the whole install directory and put the 3.6.5 files in there.

Now when I run diagnostics I see this:
upgrade_ 300.php File does not contain expected contents

How can this happen since ALL files in the install directory are new? I even reuploaded the files, but messages keeps occuring?

[JamieLee2k]

If you are upgrading then you need to run upgrader.php, what are you upgrading from?

[PossumX]

updated NBSSportfishing.com forums, SMOOTH, as usual.

[sa3sa3]

Easy update as always. The thing that took the longest was uploading the files :).

Same thing :)

[CMGU]

thanks :cool:

[blind-eddie]

World Wide Classifieds (http://worldwideclassifieds.us) Fully Upgraded
OuterZone (http://outerzone.us) Fully Upgraded


All went smooth & all hacks work....

[Black Tiger]

If you are upgrading then you need to run upgrader.php, what are you upgrading from?
You mean upgrade.php.:)
I was upgrading from 3.6.4 but it has nothing to do with upgrading, the upgrade went fine. Only the Diagnostics are not working correctly.

So I presume one of the php files takes care of the diagnostics and that's te reason why my diagnostics say my files are not correct.

Any idea which file takes care of the diagnostics process? Then I will replace that and things should be fine I guess.

[Jorrit787]

Great work, as always. I'm glad us customers can always expect a fast response whenever a vulnerability is found.

[liorra3]

2 min fo work. 3.6.5 - work great!
Great work! :)

[Mohajer]

Thanks.

Upgrade was very smooth :D
Waiting for the 3.6.6 ;)

[Tom_S]

I'm not. I stopped using phpbb and paid 160 bucks to stop the insane upgrades every two weeks to a month. Please tell me that isn't going to be the case here.

[bmc]

Thanks for the update, vBulletin! :)

[nevetS]

I'm not. I stopped using phpbb and paid 160 bucks to stop the insane upgrades every two weeks to a month. Please tell me that isn't going to be the case here.

It's been quite some time since the 3.6.4 upgrade. vBulletin uses a very sound release process. Like the release announcement said, however, 3.6.6 is expected soon as 3.6.5 was released quickly after a security hole was announced.

[Grimday]

lmao pretty much. i was with them also

Yes, if you overwrite all the files listed there, that should suffice as well.

[liorra3]

thx a lot Colin F (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?u=48331) , do it and its work great!

[Kier]

I used your emails to advise you some days ago
and no responseI have checked our ticket system and found no report relating to this export prior to March 1st.

To what email address(es) did you send your report? If you sent it via email to our ticket system, did you click on the anti-spam confirmation link in the auto-responder mail you would have received back?

[liorra3]

aua, after the upgread i have a problem with 2 things:
1) the quik reply and edit dont work right, i can post with quik reply, but cant edit with the quik edit, its go to advanded.
2)my editor - its like revoing text formating.

Patched and waiting for 3.6.6 :D

[Kohhal]

Upgraded, no problems, thanks :)

[Tom_S]

I ran the patch but my question is. When you come out with releases for those who have modifications to files do you not also release the code changes to do a manual upgrade so as to not lose anything?

I know...stupid question and next week is slotted for going over which mods are installed so updates to the new files will be easier but still do you not have that when a release comes out?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

We only offer full files for download, not patch instructions.

[rasun]

Can I use the patch also for 3.6.3 until I am able to make a full upgrade?

[Colin F]

We can't guarantee that it'll work with 3.6.3 as well, we recommend you do a full upgrade.

[Tom_S]

So you are telling me that you come out with a version. And lets say I customize it to work the very best for my niche on the net and you come out with an upgrade months down the line the best you will offer me is to overwrite all of what I did to my community because you can't take the time to write a manual upgrade patch? Again..I paid to get away from the drama and a hefty price tag at that for just a bulletin board.

I don't mean to sound over the top here but I was told the support was phenomenal here and the upgrades were a breeze no matter what you did to your board is the only reason I went with vb.

[EDIT]
BTW..so far the support has been phenomenal

You can always make a diff, and see what has changed, but the best way to add modifications is to use the plugin/products system. That way all your modifications are separate from the original code, and the updates do not interfere with what you write separately.

[ardid]

Patching your board doesn't require you to run an installation, only to upload the patch file.
only upload a inlinemod.php ?

[Mazinger]

only upload a inlinemod.php ?

Yes. That would fix that issuse.

We do offer a patch file to fix the security issue until you're ready to upgrade.

Also, as has been said before, we implemented a great plugin system, so that you should hardly ever have to manually edit files.

Sounds good. I guess you can hear these old bones shakin all the way over there with fear :eek:

I hate updates and the such but I know they are necessary to the security and betterment of the software as a whole.

I will be back in my dusty corner now being ever so quiet ;)

[Tom_S]

Okay..I got poked with a stick :p

I found one of the mods that had you change 2 files:
vBMicrostats
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=116027

It modified the includes/class_core.php and includes/init.php.
I am still looking for others.

[Reece^B]

Im not renewing my licence just for this. :)

[Carnage-]

haha yeah i know the feeling... my members area access ran out on the 28th of feb... trust my luck for an update to be released THE DAY AFTER.

Still it seems like an entirly contrived set of circumstances and the other problems that this upgrade fixes dont effect my board either (cept maybe the ie 7 one, but if anyone complains, i'll suggest that they upgrade to firefox.) I think i'l be waiting untill some good new features come out before i renew my access.

[masterme]

Like many, I am scared as ... that something would go wrong.
Now I have read that there are no template and phrases changed.
But when I do the full upgrade, everything is writen over. That feels as if I install a complete new board, since all the original files are renewed. How is it possible than that it does not mess my board up?

The few hacks I use are mainly in the header, footer en forumhome and just a handfull.
But that really does not hurt my board as it is?

[ThorstenA]

Thanks for releasing the patch! Waiting for 3.6.6 :D

So only upload the new files. Sounds better.
But would I have to follow the upgrade steps too after this 'adjusted' upload?

[Tom_S]

I uploaded only those files and then ran yourforum/install/upgrade.php and it all went smooth as silk.

I don't think you have to add the patch if you do the upgrade.

[TheFrienzNetwork]

Download vBulletin 3.6.5 from the members area.

Then, look at the updated files list.

After that, overwrite the old files by the updated ones and make sure you uploaded /install/ folder too.

When you're done with that, just type in your browser : http://yoururl.com/install/upgrade.php

Make sure you have the customer number at hand.

Tom S / Masterme:

With all the mods I have installed, I have only two files that required a manual php edit. I note the begining and end of my changes and use a file comparison tool to just copy them over to the new files I just downloaded. I never had a problem upgrading this way and it helps to know that I have the very latest vb files even if they weren't specifically changed.

vB Staff: Thanks as always for the quick updated and thanks for the heads up about 3.6.6.

[masterme]

Sounds as easy as doing the dishes (in the machine...)

What file comparison tool do you use?

[Invalid ID]

Very good. I wish some good plugins were also added in the latest upgrade.

[ansuk]

As my first upgrade since transferring to VB im thrilled it was so painless. Only one file to upload and my custom skin is intact as is the two very minor mods i had installed.

Thank you VB :)

[creativepart]

If I upload only the files that are changed, then by rights I can run the upgrader.php and it will update to the latest version, since there are no template changes my whole forum should be intact.

Simple........?

That works just fine. I upgraded three forums that way yesterday without any problems.

If you just uploaded inlinemod.php then you didn't "upgrade" you just patched the one security issue. Your board still shows 3.6.4 as the version number and the other issues were not fixed.

To upgrade your board, simply upload the CHANGED files only (see the list in the announcement) and run the upgrade.php file in the install folder.

You should be just fine without anything interfering with your board.

Hi,
I am new to VB and it's the first time I am doing an upgrade.

I uploaded the whole new package and accessed the upgrade script.

But I got this error when performing the checks


Your vBulletin (3.6.5) does not appear to be running the version that was downloaded (3.6.4).
This generally means your upgrade was not successful. Please ensure that you have uploaded the latest files and click here (http://www.snowbrasil.com/forum/install/upgrade.php) to try again.
If you are sure you wish to continue with this part of the upgrade, click here (http://www.snowbrasil.com/forum/install/finalupgrade.php?step=1).

Could anybody please help?

My apologies if this has already been mentioned - 14 pages of this thread already....

The popup box for entering links has two problems:

1. it's ugly and amateurish compared to the previous version

2. it no longer highlights the "http://" part to be overwritten in a cut and past

Will this be fixed in 3.66? If not, what are the risks, if any, in reverting to the older (and more professional looking) version from 3.64?

[Colin F]

See this part of the announcement:

Internet Explorer 7 Compatability
Much has been said about Microsoft's decision to make the Javascript prompt() function throw a security warning whenever it is called. This change resulted in vBulletin's text editor system throwing security warnings whenever a user tried to insert an image or an email link. The use of prompt() for Internet Explorer 7 users has now been discontinued in favour of an alternative method of collecting user input.
More info... (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?do=view&bugid=1263)

Additionally, improvements in Internet Explorer 7 mean that certain aspects of the vBulletin pop-up menu system, which were previously required to circumvent rendering issues, can now be bypassed. Most notable amongst these is the code that hides all <select> elements that would intersect with the menu when opened.

To see the alternative prompt popup you need to be using IE7 and then click the insert image or insert email button.

The appearance of the address bar and the size of the popup are not optional, we are working with the tools available to Internet Explorer. We can't hide the address bar and we can't make the popup any smaller to fit the text box - these are limitations imposed by the Microsoft developers - the same people who necessitated the change from the prompt() system in the first place.

Well, after I upgraded to 3.6.5 I went into my Admin CP and I noticed some of my xml files were gone like vBookie, Arcade, vBPlaza, and some other things. I mean, I re-did the upgrade and made sure I didn't miss anything about 3-4 times. And still didn't work, I even re-installed each and still nothing.

regarding the new IE7 prompt replacement...

Okay, but here's the deal:

1) The window can not be made any smaller, what would you rather see in the dead space?

2) In order to get the prompt box to open as rapidly as possible, the ieprompt.html file is plain HTML, not PHP. This means that it does not connect to the database and therefore has no access to the vBulletin style system. What could we use other than what we have now, that would fit with every conceivable board style that is out there?

I doubt if many of us are coders, let alone in charge of such a large product as vBulletin. We're just asking questions. It's nice that you explained it.

I had some concerns about upgrading as this is my first time. But rather than ignore 15 pages of this thread and just jump right in with my question, I took :20 minutes, read the entire thread, and found my answer.

I run a popular board and see this all the time. Chances are if there are 15 pages in the thread, your question has already been asked and answered -- probably more than once. vBulletin users should be courteous enough to the programmers and adminstrators to take a few minutes and see if they've already answered your question. And if they haven't, post your question in the right place so those of us who are following proper board etiquette can find the info we need without reading the same question over and over again.

Obviously you'll delete this if you think it's an unnecessary post. But there's just no reason this thread should be 15 pages long already.

Ah I see now. Well I am not sure at but the thing is, IE7 will soon be the most popular browser (if it isnt already - some still use IE6). With vista becoming more popular day by day, users will definatly be using IE7 instead of IE6 meaning more people will be using this new pop up box.

I myself dont really like the appearance but I guess with the circumstances given, it will have to stay until something is figured out :).

Thanks for your reply though.

To see the alternative prompt popup you need to be using IE7 and then click the insert image or insert email button.

The appearance of the address bar and the size of the popup are not optional, we are working with the tools available to Internet Explorer. We can't hide the address bar and we can't make the popup any smaller to fit the text box - these are limitations imposed by the Microsoft developers - the same people who necessitated the change from the prompt() system in the first place.While I appreciate the speed of the vB team in plugging the security hole I think I'll wait for 3.6.6 to upgrade in hopes that a better solution to the popup box is found. I can't live with it the way it is in 3.6.5. There's got to be a better way!

Why is it necessary? The classic insert link/image pop up window works well.

I tried a suggestion from someone else here - there is one work-around the new ultra-uglified text popups - enable extended or WYSIWYG editing. The popup box you get then is not nearly as ugly.

I ran this database query to update all users (option #3 below):


Message Editor Interface

Do Not Show Editor Toolbar: UPDATE user SET showvbcode=0
Show Standard Editor Toolbar: UPDATE user SET showvbcode=1
Show Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar: UPDATE user SET showvbcode=2



Why is it necessary? The classic insert link/image pop up window works well.

Exactly my point. All one needed to do was click on "always allow popups from this site" and NOTHING needed to be changed from the way 3.64 and earlier versions worked. It's not like allowing a popup message box was any real security risk. So what we have is a very ugly fix for something that wasn't broken to begin with.

Well blame Microsoft (there the ones keeping their ears warm with their asses...) not VBulletin, they provided a function based on the new changes in IE and a quick fix at that.....Kier already asked how we think it could be made better...rather than complaining....isn't it a better idea to do what this software is MOST known for? Make it better as a community?

[MThornback]

I'm not entirely sure how plausible this is...but for the time being making a style sheet from the VB style could work couldn't it? I don't think you can export the VB Style as a CSS doc...but it would solve the problem....atleast temporarily...

Also I think its funny that Kier's name randomly gets censored in my post...is that a joke or the most inconvenient bug i've ever seen :p

See above. It wasn't a "problem" that needed fixing. No need to blame Microsoft for something that was working just fine.

I would have thought that was evident from my posts - put it back the way it was. It wasn't broken. Don't fix it. All that was required was that people read the damn IE7 help file.

hi, this is my first time to upgrade. i uploaded and overwrite all the files, and uploaded the patches, now what????


it still is saying i'm running 3.6.4

[djbaxter]

You don't need the full upgrade AND the patches - just one or the other.

If you only installed the patch, the version number won't change.

If you uploaded all of the 3.65 files, you need to run {forum path}/install/upgrade.php from a browser window.

[feldon23]

I'm not. I stopped using phpbb and paid 160 bucks to stop the insane upgrades every two weeks to a month. Please tell me that isn't going to be the case here.
Most of the things you have to mod into phpBB are built into vB, so less/no fears of modifications. To answer your question earlier in this thread, I discourage people from using mods that require PHP edits unless they have the time necessary to maintain this.

As for frequency of updates, it's been months since vB needed an update and as mentioned, this is not a critical security flaw.

Finally the security patch, which is 1-2 files, will fully secure you in about 30 seconds.

A phpBB forum with most of the features of vBulletin hacked in takes many hours to upgrade. A vBulletin forum in a mostly stock configuration takes a few minutes to upgrade if you have not extensively modified the templates, and getting your templates in-sync with the current version is not life-or-death. It can usually wait a day or two with some reduced functionality until you do.


Again..I paid to get away from the drama and a hefty price tag at that for just a bulletin board.

I don't mean to sound over the top here but I was told the support was phenomenal here and the upgrades were a breeze no matter what you did to your board is the only reason I went with vb.
I am not sure who promised you that upgrades are a breeze "no matter what you did to your board". The point of vBulletin is that most of the mods that people add to phpBB are built into vBulletin. And most of the mods you'd want to add to vBulletin can be accomplished with Plugins and Products which do not touch PHP files. If you are editing PHP files, I imagine you are installing a complicated add-on which has been ported over from vBulletin 3 rather than one written from the ground up with 3.5/3.6 technology in mind. Also, some things that people think require code mods can often be accomplished with template conditionals.

I would actually be very interested to see a list of the add-ons you are using which require modifications to PHP files. I know there are situations where this is necessary, but each version of vBulletin has added more "hooks" to eliminate this need. There's a 47 page topic (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142051) that asks the add-on community to tell vBulletin developers where they need these "hooks" (700+ at last count) so that PHP code modifications are no longer necessary.

Editing PHP files has been strongly discouraged since October, 2005 when vBulletin 3.5 came out.

By the way folks, the list of changed files is not there to encourage people to only upload those files!! It is there for people with heavily modified forums to know at-a-glance, whether this upgrade should be held off for a weekend with some free time. The recommended upgrade procedure, as always, is to upload ALL files except /images/.

[mamashid]

First make a backup of your database, if you did not already have one.
Test backup behind htaccess to see if backup was successful
Run by entering Customer # http://www.mamashideout.com/forums/install/upgrade.php
Check your forum and admincp by doing some test, but keep your backup

*Note for peace of mind*
Always create & test backup databases and store file on computer/cd.

Is there a straight upgrade to this from 3.6.1? Like, can I do this patch thing to a 3.6.1 forum?

Run http://pathtoyourforum/install/upgrade.php
The script will find out your current version, and upgrade from there.

Remember to read the vb3_readme files in your vbulletin folder.

[amnesia623]

any idea when 3.6.6 will be released?
