Man...here I was in my little dreamworld. La la la upgrading to 3.5 is gonna be a snap. WRONG. So many things got changed they should have called this vB 4.0. So now I am sitting here at 2:25 am trying to get things up and going before tommorow morning. Hacks? Oh yes, excuse me, plugins and extensions.They can wait for now. Just a small rant while these avatars I'm trying to save upload.

Wait until v4.0 then... this version, they only rewrote part of vBulletin. I wonder how v3.6 will be though...

Can't wait, too many cool things for 3.5 to give my users. :)

I have a feeling your rant will be finished when you discover how easy plugins/extensions are to install. :)

Really?? I wonder why. I had no issues with the upgrade, and I actually never ever have with vBulletin. But good thing you're past them now. :)

But now you will have future upgrades without having to re-install most modifications. haha. I think upgrading my board now takes.. 10 minutes? And that includes uploading the files.

wasn't it actually that vB3.5 was backend and 4.0 will be frontend?

Maybe; don't remember.

I just can't wait until v3.6; that's when users get stuff (since it seems v3.5 was more for administration), if I remember what one of the developers said correctly.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167946Yeah I found out after the fact. The only way i was able to save the AV's was by exporting to the file system in the old version i luckily still had up. The profile pics didn't fare so well. :(

I can wait a long time until 3.6/4.0 and remain blissfully happy. Going through development threads, I've been working on my site redesign since Februrary, and much of it is simply due to incompatibilities between 3.0 and 3.5.

3.5's architecture is better but it still gives me the right to b**** about it non-stop.
