Yea, think I'll go with the manual upgrade instead.....

what is the manual upgrade? are you talking about the instructions listed in the second post here: http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=340530 or something else?

no compare your search.php

with the new one from 2.2.7

take the tool "araxis merge" or "beyond compare" and you can see the changes in there

I will probably start to upgrade once it comes out of RC, tis going to take a few good hours to add all my hacks again

Apparently the new search.php must add another field (thread) to the db. I got a db error when I tried to do a search and have it list as posts. I upgraded my 2.2.5 search.php to the 2.2.7 and that is what I got.

I think I'm going to wait until 3.0 comes out, mainly because too much trouble. I started to do it but I'm not sure how to dump my database other than through vB and that one never seems to work =\

Im definitly waiting for 3.0 to come out, Im gonna modify the look of it to death, and then as hacks get being made, it will be cool :)

Just a quick question,I'm currently running 2.2.6.If i apply my hacks to the new 2.2.7 files first and then upload them,can i still upgrade using the upgrade20.php script ?

Correct

it updates templates, adds the new althash column to the session table and updates the version number

Boofo can you post the database error on the main vB website or here or pm me as it may be a bug because no change to the database is made.
