dang, another upgrade :rolleyes:

argggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!

so lucky i haven't updated my real site yet, but this is getting ridiculous!

I think there is an obvious possibility that 3.6 may not have been ready for gold. Or, the updates are being rushed.

This is costing a lot of people a lot of time in many cases. :rolleyes:

I don't use it, thankfully. But I want that update now. Thanks Joey!

oh fer crying out loud... now I will have to renew my license :rolleyes:

Implimenting the patch is rather trivial. I just want to know what to do with the redirect of a thread that didn't cancel when it was supposed to???

I'm allergic to data loss.

Ain't that the truth :mad:
I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that they're catching the problems quickly, however I would just as soon waited a little longer for Gold than to go through this.

I'm allergic to data loss. :eek: You too??

The patch seems to work fine. Guess I got lucky. (Touch wood)

I'm allergic to data loss.

Ditto! I am the same way.

That's too bad Hell. :(

I will wait to renew my license until they release 3.6.2.

Since is a stability issue they release those patchs to everyone with a valid license trough the forum.

is that why i had all the lost info? oh no, i hope this new upgrade isnt a PITA :( i am finally ok with my forum and not stressing about it.

My ACP says the patch is available for install now.

Poor coders what they go thru to catch up with all the new upgrades :D

No. IIRC your issue had to do with importing from another forum into vBulletin, correct? This is a totally different issue having to do with forum redirects and maintenance.

ok...i guess i am just looking to blame someone/something :mad:

Blame noppid. Everyone does ;).

Having kept an eye on the bug tracker for 3.6.0, I agree. Glad I haven't updated 3.5.4, yet!!

I wonder if the issues have to do with upgrades from previous versions. I haven't noticed any significant issues with 3.60 or 3.61 but that was my entry version.

Protoss, you should at least upgrade to 3.5.5, there's a nasty bug in 3.5.4 I believe.

Thanks for the warning Hell³, I'll look into it. Was not aware of 3.5.5 :o

Edit*** plugin installed.
