Just two days after 6.1.0.1 was released, 6.1.0.2 is now available to download in the Members Area. We recommend you upgrade right away in order to fix a potentially dangerous bug that has sprung up.

Read the official release info for more news of the upgrade.

Well that part is the pain. But you can use a program like Beyond Compare and keep your hacks.

With Beyond Compare it is an easy thing to upgrade as long as Matt keeps telling us what files were altered smile

Beyond Compare is the coolest utility ever and if it wasn't for it, I'd probably never upgrade lol.

Hey, do you guys think when you make small updates that only seem to be a few lines. Maybe also put a readme in there telling them the exact lines to edit. Just thought it would make it more efficient. smile

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.

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)

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? confused I have many hacks installed and I want to have a minimum of fuss when upgrading. Thanks! smile

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

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...

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.

DJ, you might want to wait on upgrading as many hacks are still in the process of being updated for UBB v6.1.0.2

I'm screwed. I tried to trim my member files with newstrip.cgi and I get this error:

Can't continue after import errors at newstrip.cgi line 12 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at newstrip.cgi line 12.


Now what? I can't upgrade because of the hacks adding fields to my member files and now the program that fixes it won't run!! AARGH!!

Do I have to start clean and have my 2000 members reregister or is there a way to import messages and members from the old to the new version??

Here is the start of newstrip. What is in line 12 that is causing the problem all you CGI literates??

Make sure it's in your UBB directory, then change the

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);

line to read:

use UBBCGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
