shoulda been 4.0...
 

Man...here I was in my little dreamworld. La la la upgrading to 3.5 is gonna be a snap. WRONG. So many things got changed they should have called this vB 4.0. So now I am sitting here at 2:25 am trying to get things up and going before tommorow morning. Hacks? Oh yes, excuse me, plugins and extensions.They can wait for now. Just a small rant while these avatars I'm trying to save upload.

Wait until v4.0 then... this version, they only rewrote part of vBulletin. I wonder how v3.6 will be though...

Can't wait, too many cool things for 3.5 to give my users. :)

I have a feeling your rant will be finished when you discover how easy plugins/extensions are to install. :)

lol it was over right after i posted it. i was just cranky because it was 2:30 am. all is almost well now. lost all my profile pics in the upgrade but thats no biggie. a friend of mine had to start from scratch and impex so i consider myself lucky. installing plugins and extension as i type.

Really?? I wonder why. I had no issues with the upgrade, and I actually never ever have with vBulletin. But good thing you're past them now. :)

But now you will have future upgrades without having to re-install most modifications. haha. I think upgrading my board now takes.. 10 minutes? And that includes uploading the files.

wasn't it actually that vB3.5 was backend and 4.0 will be frontend?

It's a known "problem" (apparently).

Maybe; don't remember.

I just can't wait until v3.6; that's when users get stuff (since it seems v3.5 was more for administration), if I remember what one of the developers said correctly.

Yeah I found out after the fact. The only way i was able to save the AV's was by exporting to the file system in the old version i luckily still had up. The profile pics didn't fare so well. :(
