Default New vBulletin release - 06-01-2004

We might want to upgrade ... I have attached the file from the vb members area here ...

List of Bugs Fixed
  • Changed postbit and bbcode_* templates to use tags rather than
    tags for increased cross browser compatibility. (This should also fix several related bugs.)
  • Fixed possible security issue relating to logging in. Note: some users may need to request a new password in order to be able to login.
  • Readded no-cache header setting, which was mistakenly left out. (Link)
  • Forced sending of no-cache headers in the admin control panel. (Link)
  • Fixed situation where "Edit Avatar" didn't show when it was supposed to. (Link)
  • Fully removed references to $vboptions['abspath'] (Link)
  • Fixed issue causing '//' to be displayed in the URL after being redirected. (Link)
  • Fixed fatal error when using certain forum jump options. (Link)
  • Admin editing member's post can result in signature not being shown (Link)
  • Last post info bleeds into adjacent cells (Mozilla, Opera) (Link)
  • Inability to set unlimited attachment count (Link)
  • Assorted style issues.
  • Assorted language issues.

Can you post the list of the templates that are concerned by the update ?

I'd say rather not! There are a lot of small changes I did in the templates, which are not immediately visible but were needed nevertheless. If I can't remember them all and I don't see them during the "tests", I will need to pass my nights changing things one after the other each time I find something !

Do we really need to upgrade something that WORKS each time the vBulletin developers change a single line of code ? If you really want the finest caviar, why don't you wait for the gold version ? I suppose the gold version will be a version that isn't supposed to change for a long time.

Anyway, that's my opinion. What do the other council members think ?

[edit]I won't oppose an upgrade, lemme make it clear. But if we upgrade, I WON'T redo the templates : someone else will need to. And I can assure you there are a LOT of things to do (increasing the max number of smilies displayed in a smiliebox, removing the "vBulletin forums -" prefix in each and every titlebar, fixing the post previews, putting the member rules in the register page, adding new vbPhrases, reverting the postbit template to old-fashioned style (i.e. user thubmnail on the left instead of top), etc, etc. There is EVEN stuff to do in the PHP functions of the include/ directory, by hand, via SSH. You'll be warned.

Fair enough, wait until Gold version it just wanted to let you know there was an upgrade.
