actually i thought it did... i thought that it uninstalls and then reinstalls all the templates? but i could be wrong :p

Is there any possibility of upgrading from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7?

heh... hey Boofo if you want i can make one for you ;) regards...

Go for it, g-force2k2! That would be great. The I can be like all of the big boys and be running the latest. :) This is almost as good as Christmas. :)

umm whats happening with the vb 2.2.6 upgrade to 2.2.7 hack?

The same thing that is apparently happening with the 2.2.5 to 2.2.7 upgrade, nothing! I think someone looked into it and decided with all of the cookies session changes, that it would be harder than they thought. :)

Not everyone. I've tried Beyond Compare (and Araxis Merge) and found them both to be more hassle than they're worth. Neither program would do the changes 100% correctly, as I always got a variety of errors from various files after using those two programs.

A manual list of changes/additions/deletions would be the easiest and most efficient way of upgrading to a new version. I'm honestly surprised they don't offer that level of support.

I'd also appreciate it if someone could do a list of changes needed to upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7!

I'll even throw in a plug on my Web site for anyone who can compile such a list! :)

I didnt suggest using the program for upgrading the board. If the board is very heavily hacked, I agree that neither Beyond Compare nor Araxis Merge helps so much.. At least not for a newbie user. It's very likely that you'll miss a line and you would end up with a buggy/not working board. Although someone with vb/PHP experience can handle this, it's not for many newbies.

However I suggested using the program for detecting differences of UNHACKED 226 and UNHACKED 227. If you are going to compile such a list (as g-force offered), you'll be most comfortable with beyond compare or Araxis Merge, instead of comparing thousands of line by eye..

I dunno, even upgrading a heavily hacked board is not that bad. I just keep a list of all the changes I've made to the code, and while I'm upgrading I usually find now little additions/changes I can make, or have ideas for new hacks.

You just gotta set aside an hour or two and get it taken care of. :)
