I decided to update to 3.8.2 today from 3.8.1 PL1, and it went swimmingly, but there's one strange thing that happened, and I'm not sure why. When I got to the main index, at the bottom, the version is correctly 3.8.2. However, in the admin CP, I still get this message:
Latest version available: 3.8.2. You are currently running vBulletin version 3.8.1 Patch Level 1.
Click here to download vBulletin 3.8.2 from the Members' Area
And at the top, it still says we're running 3.8.1 PL1. Why would this have happened?

did you do everything for the upgrade, i mean uploading all the files and doing the yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php ?!

Yes, of course. All files were uploaded (every file mentioned http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1715443&postcount=3), and then the upgrade script ran. It ran just fine. I just don't know why it'd show in the index but not in the admin CP.

if you uploaded ONLY the files mentionned in the process, the version file is not there, so it will act that way... that's no biggy, next time upload the whole thing.

Oh, ok sweet. Which file is the version file? I see version_vbulletin.php in includes, but it only contains this code:
<?php
define('FILE_VERSION_VBULLETIN', '');
?>

Oh, nevermind. I uploaded that file, and it fixed the issue. Thanks!

yeap... as the code is empty, the cache is reset when you update... only in the update process... better luck next time!

Makes perfect sense. I'll remember it next time. Thanks!
