sorry i ment 6.04f
but how exacly i do that...

Go to the Member's area and download the "upgrade zip" and replace your files with the one inside the zip.

Then follow the upgrade doc inside of the zip on what else you need to do.

Yeah it's one good program. Saves you heaps of time compared to upgrading and installing all the hacks again!

I just downloaded Beyond Compare to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.1.0.2...are there any easy instructions about how to do this anywhere??

Well now for once i finally listened and tried beyond compare
Thank you this is the best program ive ever encountered

i know how to upgrade but how i can use beyond compare to upgrade without losing my hacks?
i dont know how to use the program.

Just grab the shareware version of beyond compare Its easy to use.I just made 1 folder with all my hacked UBB files and another folder with all the files from the Upgrade.Then compared and made the changes to the upgrade files

it is easy until one of the upgrades affects one of the areas that a MOD changed then the problems start! (at least for those of us that are not PERL gurus like our guys)

Isn't it about time hacks were wrote as self installing software!
Make it easier for us non tech guys, and it would save everyone hours no doubt!

does ultimate.php in 6.1.0.2 work with the XHTML templates?

Hi,

can someone tell me how the programm is to handle...???

Thanks...

Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaa? Could you be more precise in your question, please? Sorry if you don't speak English very well.

Beyond Compare rules!!!!

Can Beyond Compare work for upgrading a 6.04e board to a 6.1.0.2 board? Or has the basic UBB code changed too much for that? I have many hacks installed and I want to have a minimum of fuss when upgrading. Thanks!

The base code has changed too much as quite a few of the subs were moved around.



Not yet... I believe Charles posted a bug-fix in the thread. I'll update the xhtml templates sometime between now and late tonight.

alright thanx, i guess i missed the bug fix

I'm new here. I am now using v 5.7 with a whole load of hacks (ICQ, Whos Online, etc). Will I have to "back out" all those mods first before installing the latest version? (Can I even jump from 5.7 to 6.1.0.2?? ) Advice?

I'm assuming your speaking of 5.47, and if so, yes, you can upgrade to 6.1.0.2... you won't have to backout all your mods b/c the new version will write over all the old files... make sure to read the instructions on infopop's site before going from 5.47 to version 6...

You assume correctly. 5.47d to be exact. Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the info pop info.

Basil if you had ANY hacks at all that added fields to member's profiles run the script that cleans your Member files first. It's in the Infopop Member area. newstrip.cgi I think it was named.
