    vBulletin 3.5 Gold Released!

    I'm just letting you all know that vB 3.5 gold has been released.

    I'm going to upgrade my forums tonight.

    Andrew, any plans to upgrade these forums?

    Cheers,

    James

      It is yummy. One thing I could ask Andrew to do, is use the seperator hack, to seperate sticky threads from normal threads (into their own section). (makes it easier to spot them)

      I have the code needed if you aren't signed up on vb.org site.

        I did a test upgrade on my 3.0.8 forums, and everything worked fine.

        However, I decided to revert all my templates, so you will probably need to re theme the forums.

          Not sure I understand what you're trying to say James - does the upgrade mess up the current themes?

            Andrew, almost all the templates have been changed since 3.0.8, as it is quite a significant upgrade.

            To save the hassle, I reverted all the templates, so they matched a default 3.5 installation. This ensured that the templates contained access to the new features of v3.5.

            If I was you I'd do a test upgrade on another server first.

            The upgrade is not as simple as a usual 3.0.x -> 3.0.(x+1).

              We will likely just stay with 3.0.x for the time being then. This theme isn't old enough to warrant making another.

                I'd recommend upgrading to 3.0.9 then

                  That's already planned.

                    Any news on the plan to upgrade?

                    Also...

                    I am about to install VB on one of my subdomains.
                    I've been a little concerned about security with these scripts and don't want to risk an account suspension...

                    Are there any known security issues with the current version of VB in the cPanel that I'll need to address?

                    Do you recommend that I upgrade to the latest version or that I install any security patches or fixes?

                    If someone does hack my installation of VB and causes server problems will just that subdomain cPanel account be suspended or will the entire parent domain cPanel account be suspended?
                    (I used WHM to create the subdomain to give it its own cPanel.)

                    Thanks in advance.

                      We have no plans to upgrade to 3.5.x at this time. The 3.0.x version is still being patched and maintained. 3.0.10 was released fairly recently.

                        Oops... I was one the road and not really paying attention earlier when I fired off that post.

                        What I meant to ask about was the phpBB script that is included on the Dathorn cPanel... not VB.

                        I wanted to know about any security issues with the free script before I install it.

                          I have VB 3.5.1 installed on one of my domains. Works fine. (upgraded from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1 just fine when that came out, and learned some things not to do, vs somethings to do when upgrading (had to redo all my hacks, whoopsie). But it was a fun learning experience. And for once, I didn't loose any data.

                            Just keep up on the updates. Big time.
