To those complaining, there is no real reason to upgrade unless you are experiencing problems with 2.2.0. I will upgrade 2 of my 3 boards - one of them works fine on 2.2.0 at the moment, so it doesn't need upgrading. One of them is in desperate need of an upgrade as it is still on 2.0.2, and the other has experienced issues with 2.2.0 so I'll be taking that up to 2.2.1 as soon as I get a free hour or so.

It brings absolutely no new features, so it's your choice. Live with 2.2.0's bugs, or upgrade.

I did the upgrade, took about 45 minutes with my hacks list and abour 19+ hacks plus 3 custom hacks :D no differences but I feel better now.

My say on this? If you install hacks, then that makes YOU totally responsible for it... it's not gonna be anyone's fault if you can't upgrade because of your hacks - except yourself.

Yeah, of course Jelsoft could make it easier for hackers to upgrade, but that's not their priority. Upgrades are not done with the hacker in mind. So hackers don't have any say whatsoever on how Jelsoft should issue their updates.

And as was previously mentioned, if there's nothing wrong with your board, then don't upgrade. If there's a security fix, then by all means upgrade. Besides, before you hacked your boards I am sure you have known that upgrading it will bea pain ... so no need to cry bloody murder for something you have already expected...

Wow, I don't think that helped one person.. nice :rolleyes:

God is my witness, it took me 10 minutes to upgrade the (so very hacked) files, and another 3 minutes to upload them and run the upgrade14 script.

And we're talking about a very hacked board.

There is a reason why Jelsoft recommends Beyond Compare, it makes upgrading your hacked board so easy.
I actually use Araxis Merge, which is by far better than Beyond Compare. But that's not the point.
The point is, if you hacked your files, you can sure check them for differences, especially when you got all those great programs to help you with it!

I'm posting a screen shot just to show you how easy it is to compare files, and reinstate hacks.

I downoaded Beyond Compare for the 2.0.3 to 2.2.0 upgrade. I was amazed at how easy it was. And I didn't even really know how to use BC yet. Tubedogg also mentioned Merge is much better. But, I can live with BC for now. :)

I did a google....
Ariaxis Merge
Beyond Compare

A few points I'd like to make:[list=1][*]No, I don't know how many scripts you have added. That doesn't take away from the fact that you added them, and it is not Jelsoft's responsibility to make your life easier for that.[*]Some bugs can't be found without mass testing. This is why Microsoft has the beta signups to get thousands of people testing. You can't find every picky little bug on every release. And with how much people were screaming to release it, I'm not surprised that it came out a bit early. Blame the customers for that.[*]I do enjoy beta testing. I like figuring things out, how they work, and I enjoy tinkering with new things. I've always been that way.[*]I know people twice times my age who are complete idiots. I also know people younger than me with far more skill in many things I do than I will ever have. I really don't think my age has anything to do with the release time between versions of vB.[/list=1]

You chose to add the hacks, you chose to make it more difficult to upgrade. This is not Jelsoft's fault.
