Take complaints about the update problems with a grain of salt. They're mostly directly related to modification conflicts. And will depend on the users level of understanding of certain things. Not to mention their level (or lack) of patience.

Well, sir, my grain of salt was a site down with no clue why. I've done every update faithfully upon it's release and have not had any issues other than 1 previous problem of "uploading attachments" which proved to be some setting that the ISP needed to make. I accepted that issue as it took a few hours and they located the problem easily through error messages. HOWEVER, the site was functioning perfectly and the one problem they were chasing could "wait" and a later fix was acceptable.

This time, my site was giving a full screen of scrolling warnings and then the forum displayed. The error messages were not coming ICW the upload problem and the ISP was spinning their wheels trying to figure out the issue. Without answers or clues, I saw no reason to stay on 4.2.2 and weather the storm hoping for a cure. Yes, being limited on my coder knowledge, I un-updated back to 4.2.1 as that one worked and currently IS working.

I lost a program called VB Garage Pro and the forum I run is Jaxvette.com. Missing the car information from a car site is not an option. Was it vBulletin's fault? Probably not as it was an added program so I'll try and deal with that issue with the other vendor. That was my "modification" conflict and was trouble shot quickly so that really wasn't the issue as that didn't hamper my board's function. I'm still working with that vendor.

So, in conclusion, the forum once again lost the ability to upload attachments. Why? I still haven't gotten an answer for that. It may be on here by now but I haven't scoured the site today to dig out the answer. My patience was a full day of "try this" to see if it fixes it. Well we got the warnings cleared but the upload and garage were still messed up and no prospects of them ever getting corrected.

I'm not mad about this, I'm disappointed. I now have to read the forum and google the world on every update to see what issues are presented. Then, and only then, I can do the update with all of the OMGs on file so I can keep my site up.

True, I'm not a coder, but I am an end user. Without end users, companies fail in a Capitalistic society.

Edit

Nope, no clue yet as to why the upload attachments is failing on 4.2.2. Bear in mind that I'm not the one person in the whole world with this issue. The last time I think it was a "Post bit" issue but nothing so far on the current issue.
