Thanks ;)

sweet. =)

Any details on the security bug, what it did?

But not enough details to tell us how to do it, that would be 'bad'.

[Lumina]

So security issue was a very easy thing to exploit, so we cannot say a word about it without giving full access to it.

My advice is to close your board as soon as possible if you are still with a non-fixed RC1. And upgrade to RC2 of course.

[Marco]

Upgrading as we speak. :)
Thanks for making this available so quickly... I had a hard time logging into my Admin CP to turn the board off though, because of that odd bug that would redirect me to http://admincp/ :p

[sabret00the]

sweet :)

[JTotten]

upgrade went smoothly and without error. And it fixed a couple of the bugs my users have complained about. Thanks! :) I love vB3 btw, blows any other forum software away ;)

[blockcipher]

Upgrade went perfect. Thanks devs!

[express]

Wayne did this get fixed in the release?

All i heard that it was a password exploit?

What did it allow people to do? Login via a user? I just want to know very vague information.

[devilyellow]

fixed RC1 will be safe to run for a few more days till I upgrade right?

Yes, should be fine.

any projected timeframe for Gold?

[DarkDelight.net]

any projected timeframe for Gold?
Someone had to ask that.

[Breaker]

yeh, but [s]he didn't ask when it will be released he asked if their is a predicted timeframe. :)

I think i might have to upgrade to RC2, is there a list of updated files from RC1 so i dont have to upload them all.

[GamerzWorld]

w00t in top 10 :P

[cdaknight]

I've got a quick question. I've made some changes to the default postbit used, and I'm guessing since the entire thing was rewritten... that I'm going to have to do all those again, right? (Not a huge deal. Their changes are probably what I did anyways, at least to a point.

And question on the upgrade: Just overwrite all files, and run the upgrade.php (i forget where it's located.... but I'll find it)?

Thanks,
Chris

[sabret00the]

the div classed as .tfoot is now aligned to the left in FB as a result of upgrading :-S

also the postbit issue highlighted in troubleshooting hasn't remedied itself.

[dannyw]

w00t already ... come vb3 GOLD

[BigJohnson]

What happen with the vb team actually telling us what files were changed like they did with vb2 so we dont have to change ALL the files to the new ones with overwriting.

I liked it when vb team gave a list of the files that were changed.

[sabret00the]

i think they're only doing that on gold releases :shrugs:

[Kauka]

very nice thank you Kier

[Tungsten]

Upgrade went off without a hitch. :D

[The General]

Install went very smoothly! Cheers! :D

[Electronic Punk]

I am updating from RC1
I have uploaded the files but when I run /upgrade.php it just redirects to the admincp

What do I need to do?

[TouchingVirus]

You could probably try to run the highest number upgrade.php.... i think its upgrade8.php, i amnt sure because i dont have rc2 :)

Nice Work Dev Team :)

[activegaming]

Sounds great, I'll be updating tonight. I'd appreciate it if someone could post a list of files that were changed so I don't have to rehack unmodified ones.

[Electronic Punk]

That seems to have done it.
Thanks.

Ya i complained about this on page 2. I want that as well so i dont have to rehack everything again because it is such a damn hassle to do everything over again now.

[RISKS]

done!

[P.Jackson]

Well done vB team looks like your slaving away there :) nah keep it up

[sabret00the]

the div classed as .tfoot is now aligned to the left in FB as a result of upgrading :-S

also the postbit issue highlighted in troubleshooting hasn't remedied itself.just noticed the post bit is fixed but theirs still the issue with the divs that enclose eachpost bit and their spacing

although it's annoyingly fine if i remove the border :(

oops the tfoot thing was me playing with something which i've now fixed.

lol another edit, ok found out that the problem is now that the spacer_open renders around everypost bit, what would be the condition to insert to only render it once per-page?

[Gozita]

Whoa. Pretty fast.

[Shadow Duelist]

JESUS!!!!! RC2 ALREADY??!?!?!?

Hello, first of all let me say vb 3x series is great, and wish to congratulate all the members of the development team for doing such an amazing work of art with it.

One thing I would like to brought up to your attention is the fact that the archives feature, is not working correctly with apache 2.x web server, and was wondering if there is any consideration to address this issue in a near future.

Thanks a lot in advanced

Same here, I'm not having any problems with it.

[Mike Sullivan]

I am updating from RC1
I have uploaded the files but when I run /upgrade.php it just redirects to the admincp

What do I need to do?As suggested, point your browser to install/upgrade8.php automatically. Just missed adding a line in upgrade.php to handle this version (you'll only be effected if you did a fresh install of RC1).

[nemesis01]

Upgrade was as easy as ever, thanks.

[dannyw]

the only place i have found that the archive dosesn't work is on IIS, but then again i think its only ment to run on apache!

[Zlaxzzor]

Great job guys :cool:

[Electronic Punk]

Had to install vb3rc2 from scratch, but have it up and running here: http://www.ntfs.org/forum/

[DeeperImage]

I had RC1 running for a couple of days with out the security patch, I just upgraded to RC2, should I be concerned? My board seems to be fine, but I am a worry bug. Also, I think the cookie issues may need to be looked at more carefully. I have had a nightmare with cookies and milk lately..Other than that, great job as usual.

[WTFNOOB]

really wierd, I went to upgrade.php and it took me right back to the admin panel and it still says RC 1 when they're RC 2 files.

[cdaknight]

Worked great for me. Everything is now peachy. I think.

[MistyMeanor]

I have VB 2.2.9. I have several hacks on my forum including a portal page. How much longer (any idea) on when the final 3.0.0. release will be? I was told that it would be best to wait till the release if I went to the trouble installing hacks.

[Taco John]

What is a good program to use for telnetting so I can back up my database? I haven't needed to telnet since 1993, back when I was on MUDs...

Known issue. Point your browser straight to install/upgrade8.php; don't worry, you're not going to be causing any problems by doing this. :)

[dethfire]

hey guys, do i need to revert all my templates if I upgrade from RC-1 to RC-2?

I didn't have to

[Thomas2485]

Worked as a charm. So far, I've upgraded from Gamma to RC1 to RC2, and they were all flawless! Great job!

[geovadim]

Congratulations to vb team. You make a great job.

[Paul_M]

Upgraded last night, reverted modded templates and reinstalled mods & hacks afterwards, no problems at all. One browser issue but that's in bug tracker.

Thanks.

[Mmw]

No problems at all plus fixed the mozilla problems it seems on forum home :)

[CJjack]

Yes Good!!!

Running on RC2...Great import.

Just waiting for Final :D and News Images Style.

[Amiga]

I'm very, very pleased at this.

The RC1 release kinda shocked me, because when using Mozilla Firebird i had a lot of problems that i didnt have with the Gamma release. Though upon upgrade to RC2, all of these problems have been fixed, that i can see, AND the forum index leaking into other cell's..

Fantastic. Thanks a bunch =)

[bobpires]

Will it overwrite all my styles (that took me 2 days to get right!) if I upgrade from RC1 to RC2?

[Symen_4ab]

Will it overwrite all my styles (that took me 2 days to get right!) if I upgrade from RC1 to RC2?
Normally not.
But you can download them as .xml files prior the upgrade, just to be sure.

[wcbryant]

Will it overwrite all my styles (that took me 2 days to get right!) if I upgrade from RC1 to RC2?
It didn't touch mine. Whole process took less than 15 minutes, and that was with doing a mysqlhotcopy and taring up a copy of the forum dir just to be safe. Quick and easy, thanks devs.

I tried to post in the how do section and it says I do not have permission. I am a liscence owner but I had to create a new username because I can not find my old info and it may have an old email.

Can you fix this?

Can you tell me how to approve new members on this version? I have my forum set to moderate new members. In the old version when I went to the admin area, thee ones that were waiting were right there. Now I cant find them anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

[SpeedStreet]

While I understand that soldifying a solid release date at this point is not going to happen, I *really* need to know whether or not your methodology is calling for the usual month between releases, or are you planning to release gold sooner than later?

While I understand that this answer cannot be solidified without knowing exactly how many large bugs there are, my development schedule is entirely dependent on whether or not you are planning to keep RC2 out in the wild for any extended amount of time. If that is the case, then I will hold off on the continuing development I have planned for this month.

This message is in no means a call to arms for all of the haters to start getting on the vB team...I just want to know if you have a "sooner" or "later" policy on the possibility of getting gold to the public.

Thanks!
John

Hi

Was just answering another thread on this board in another folder which I was subscribed to, but had notifiction of another reply which said basically what I was going to say, but there was no cancel button, just a post and a preview. is that normal? It would have been stupid to post it, and unnecessary space used, the only option was to press back on my browser. just thought I'd mention it in case it was an error.

thanks for your time

[Nam]

Sorry, can't read all the pages, so if I have gamma, can I just upgrade directly to RC2 without upgrading to RC1 first?

[theXME]

yup, you can, the update script of RC2 will first update your board to RC1 and than to RC2

[AZone]

Got it... Thank you!

[Nam]

another quesiton: Any templates change? I have modify some templates so I'm not sure that I have to revert back to original and re-apply the changes like I had to do with the vb2 versions.

Thanks guys, it's working great.

[Scott MacVicar]

The "Find Updated Templates" button is your friend. It will show you templates modified between RC1 and RC2 which you have modified.

[Nam]

Scott, I saw it after posting a msg, wow, I must say, even like vb3 more :D. So easy to update now.

[Roody]

Installed it this evening on my test forums and the install went nicely. :)

[Marc Smith]

One thing I would like to brought up to your attention is the fact that the archives feature, is not working correctly with apache 2.x web server... Works fine for me on Apache 2.0.46

Just spent 30 min manually reverting then updating 12 templates or so from the RC1 upgrade.

Before I upgrade from RC1 to RC2 I would LOVE to see a changed file list ....

Thanks

Actually the interface is not intuitive at all you do not actually download it from where it says "License Options > Download vBulletin" (which is a bit odd) you need to scroll up to where it says "Current Licenses" and right below that you will see the list of your licenses (or just one if you only have one) and in the right most column of that table you will see a "Download vBulletin" link which is right below the "Edit License" and above the "Additional Services/Renewals".

Hope this helps. (btw if your license has run out I do not think you would have access to the members area would you?)

You can still get into the member's area, in the case of a leased licence, that status of the licence would be "in-active" and you wouldn't be able to download a new version until you paid a further $85.

[Silver_2000]

No. You have to manually do it yourself.
Are there RC2 template updates that would require revertuinig custom templates or not ?

It sure would be easier if we knew that or knew what files had changed.

I dont know about the rest of you but my time is valuable and if I dont have to replace all the files and then go back and change them all back to make the forum work lke it did, it saves me a bunch of time.

It is a little bit weird on my board http://vietmodel.net when I upgrade it from Gamma to RC2.
First of all the speed of loadpage getting slower than before I upgrade.
Second the default style is turning weird, it is not correct display font for Admin, moderator on "what's going on" section

for example: admin nickname should display font be Admin nickname

and moderator nickname should display font like moderator nickname

When you looking on my board you can't tell which nickname is admin or moderators because the display all the same as members.

What can I do to change my style to get the same as the default style here. Thank you!

[vampire_aus]

is that wat u mean the color style for Admin and Mod ?

[Zachery]

check the usergroup options :) thats where their defined, so dbl check

[calvinnguyen]

for example: admin nickname should display font be Admin nickname
but my display only in regular font like this: admin nickname

and moderator nickname should display font like moderator nickname

but my display only in regular font like this: moderator nickname

member nickname is display the same...so when visitors come to my forum they can't see the different display name between admin, moderator and member.

Actually, in my test board our display correct when I install RC2, but my main board can't display correct. I have no ideas why that happend.

[geovadim]

Some things that, for me, are imperative for the final version:

- the admin must have the possibility to choose exactly, for all users, what fileds to appear in their profile after they post (location, age, number of posts etc). This must be done easily in the admincp, not to change code...

- there must be an easy way to make the postbit an user option, also in the admincp.

As Faranth said check the Usergroups. Admin is set as standard to be bold italic.

In the "User HTML Markup" should be <b><i> in the 1st box and </i></b> in the 2nd Box.

For Moderators <b> in the 1st Box. </b> in the 2nd Box.

you wont be seeing most of that in the final version, if its so impretive to you id suggest hacking it in :)

there is an ez way to make the postbit verticle / horizontal an option :P search

This is spiffy, I'll be getting myself vb3 as soon as the final version comes out, so I am just waiting... and waiting while we get closer.

Is it possible to get a "status of RC2" update? Something along the lines of RC2 has X number of bugs reported, Y have been fixed, Z remain open and of the open bugs, W are awating user feedback.

Optionally, if you've made the decision, "based on the number of fixes and still-open bugs, we anticipate the next release being RC3, not a gold release" or "given that the fixes have been minor in nature, we anticipate the next release to be the final gold release."

Optionally, if you've made the decision, "based on the number of fixes and still-open bugs, we anticipate the next release being RC3, not a gold release" or "given that the fixes have been minor in nature, we anticipate the next release to be the final gold release."

Go to the vBulletin 3 Bug Tracker forum. Near the top on the left is a drop-down called "View Bugs With Status". That has the info you seek.

There has been no commitment by Jelsoft that the next release will be the final gold release. As they have stated before, the decision will be made by them based on the number and severity of bugs found in the previous release.

Please inform yourself of the facts before setting what might be unreasonable expectations.

Gifs? Why use those? PNG is superior. Higher compression, free, what is not to like. :p

[Iceball]

Hmm are the new images in the RC3 or not? This is the thing I dont understand, but the rest, nice and beautiful!

[Zachery]

Not all computers are setup properly to handel PNG extensions.
also PNG's arnt displayed right by ie to boot
gifs are valid web grahics.

Iceball we dont know untill you know :) read the announcements area and you will know as much as we do

[Electronic Punk]

Oops, I thought the release was definatly today, but it seems to be early this week :)

[Zlaxzzor]

I think it's early this week, so probably tomorrow or at wednesday...

[Alien]

My guess is tonight (they've released at night before and it's only 3:36pm here), or tomorrow latest. ;)

[Electronic Punk]

I like your guess, but speculation always jinxes it ;)

Like William Shatner told the Trekkie geeks in the Saturday Night Live skit a few decades ago...

[CaptChill]

I assume this is a small problem because no one else seems to be having it. My icon bar in the message editor (Reply Box) doesn't respond to the cursor. They don't highlight when the cursor is passed over them.

[blockcipher]

Might want to start a support thread of its own in the appropriate forum.

[CaptChill]

Thanks, I posted it on the Troubleshooting forum

Everyone knows that was a Klingon in disguise and not the real Shatner ;)


Anyhow, I've got users waiting for a bug fix promised for this release so it's eagerly anticipated here.
