hopefully, when vB3 goes final, the devs might have devised an upgrade script from 2.3.x or 2.2.x? yes? hopefully so we can port as much of the old styles as possible without messin it all up. If they can do that, i'll definately upgrade to vB3 when it goes gold or when *if* they release an upgrade script. :D

wtf do you mean upgrade script?

its called upgrade.php and it upgrades your forum to 3.0.0 and i VERY HIGLY doubt they will ever make somthing to port your styles as coding and tons and tons of templates have been redone and are now sepearated and made differnt, the eziest way for you to move to vb3 is to upgrade and make your new vb3 look like your old one. its not hard ^^

hmm... well i'll atleast wait for them to redo the templates of vB3 before i consider upgrading :/

if plug spark forums is yours, that style wouldnt take much more than 5-10 min to reproduce on vb3 ^^

well notice im not done *obviously* >_> + i'd loose all my hacks n stuff

what hacks are you worried about losing?

Use a comparing program if you're upgrading hacks from one vB2 version to another. That way you can keep all your hacks.

Beyond Compare is a good start.

well tony you should know theres a large difference

He is referring to vB 2 -> vB 2 upgrades, there is to great a code differnce between vB 2 to vB 3 to upgrade and keep the hacks. So much has changed, template caching, calling templates, template structer, not to mention to lang. options, file structer changes and that the coding standards have changed in both html and php.

Honestly if you havent upgraded yet I dont think its wroth upgrading to beta 7, RC 1 is due soon and there will be a RC 2, you can count on that. I hope you are all looking forward to updating your modifications for the new style :cool:

i hit submit too soon lol ^^

the new style should be worth it ^^ altho id alteast have a test installtion some where to learn your way around
