Hey guys, sorry I haven't stopped by in a couple months. It's just been one thing after another. I had to canabalize my linux box that I do my development work on, then my notebook took a dive on me... *sigh*... anyhow...

Yes, I'm aware of some of the existing bugs in 2.0.1, and they will be fixed in 2.0.2. One of the things for some people if it says your itrader is closed and you are sure you have the correct files and/or did the upgrade properly, do the following steps:

1. Enable Debug Mode
2. Go to the AdminCP -> vB Options -> Untouchables
3. Edit "iTrader Version Number", The type is currently set to "numeric" when it should be set to "free".
4. Make sure the version number shows as 2.0.1

That should fix it. Be sure to disable debug mode after you make the change!

I've got my linux box back together and my notebook repaired, and if I can find the time this coming week I'll see where I'm at with the existing code and try to get 2.0.2 rolled out by the end of the week because some of the bugs (like above) are pretty well hidden and only happen if you are running certain versions of php/mysql. There's going to be a few additional usergroup permission things since I've gotten some requests from people that want finer granularity for admin style permissions & emails. Also the IP search will be in the admincp, and the emails will contain a hostname resolution so you don't have to wonder if that IP is a AOL proxy. Also there's some fixes related to the time-limited stuff. Lots of little things, too much to list.

A big thanks goes out to gio~logist for making a couple add-on's, I'll add them to the info post.

Finally, for those of you asking basic "how do I" questions, I'm not even going to reply because after all these years, I'm kind of tired of answering the same things over and over. Learn the basics of template modification with vB, read their online documention that's why it's there.

The upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 should be pretty seamless. I do not believe there will be any changes to the database, just file & template changes. However for those of you who have customized the templates, use of a program like WinMerge will make the upgrade a lot easier.
