Thanks for the tut nakkid, good work, I've have to update my board now :D

Not all of us have the available funds to purchase programs like those, so we're reliant on others providing manual upgrades from version to version (to whom we're eternally grateful, let me say!).

<a href="http://www.scootersoftware.com" target="_blank">Beyond Compare</a> is free. It's what I use =P

actually is shareware. i like alot better araxis due to his speed and flexibility. however, beyond compare is a good tool also.

And what happens when the shareware version expires? Like I said, not everyone can afford to buy a program to do upgrades to their forums only once in a while. It's not a justifiable expense when there are more important things to pay for (like hosting fees and bandwidth costs).

well, i asume that you like VB and that you going to use it forever. hacks will always be here. i think the price is nothing comparing with the time you save. if you can afford to pay 100$ in hosting/year you can also afford a good piece of software.

when i go out in one night with my wife on a club, i spend more then 124$. so for me is nothing. think of it as an investisment in your work.

As I said, there are more important things that need paying for before a program that you'll only use once or twice in a blue moon.

As good as it may be, it's not something that you'd use with enough regularity to justify the expense.

no problem. then you will have to go through the classic way. save the documentation for your hacks and every time you upgrade, you must check every file manually. is time consuming but have the same results. :)
jelsoft upgrades it's software almost every month. if you spend 2hours/month to upgrade your board for 20$/hour (average php tech-troubleshooting charge), that's about 400$/year you save.

i must add that firefly uses this piece of software also and he thinks (i quote) "is a life saver".

Thanks SOOO much for this Nakkid. Even though it took me far more then 30 minutes, it was sure a time saver :) This is a god send for anyone upgrading their board, I'm going to stick this :)

wow! everyone seems to love your tut nakkid....

congratulations...

I have read the thread, now, let us see how this will work!
