3.0.7
 

I notice version 3.0.7 has been released.

God damned...

You're safe if you just make sure the template comments feature is off, its also a php bug...

Well keeps us busy :D

:-( Pair versions have short life.. mumble.. mumble...

It's not the update itself I'm annoyed about, it's my hack getting a huge delay.

I realise that Jelsoft are acting responsibly and I appreciate that.

However, something like this surely requires a patch not a whole new version?

Those of us with modified boards are starting to find this totally unworkable. When the next major major release comes out the only hack I am having on it is the arcade. I really, really, do not have four hours to spare every couple of weeks to keep upgrading like this. At one time a release would last six months or more. Now it's a major achievement if it lasts 48 hours!

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it, the fact remains a better system than this is going to have to be found, or else the modification community, already a shadow of what it was some years ago, will all but die.

Ok then simply do not install hacks. vBulletin does not support you hacking your forum. They do not consider this when releasing updates. They release updates to fix bugs and security issues.

The next vBulletin release will I think help the modification community.

Well that's the way I'm heading.

At the next major release I shall be installing an arcade only. This is comparatively easy to rehack each time once the templates are sorted out.

The rest will have to be standard and default, because none of this is even remotely practical for people who have to hold down day jobs as well.

I don't mind doing it from time to time, but this is the fourth time since Christmas and it's just getting silly.

I have no complaints with Jelsoft having to do it, just pointing out that it's impractical for quite a few of us, and an alternative solution has to be found. That alternative, as you state, is not using hacks, but as I have also stated, if lots of people do that the modification community will die.

This is just getting annoying...
