When I load up the page after installing 2.1, it looks the same. Even if I change information in the ACP. Is there a way to uninstall 2.1 & 2.0.1 and just start over?

There is a compleate unistall procedure posted in this thread towards the start

This would be the quickest way via .htacess:

Code:

DirectoryIndex vbindex.php index.php index.html

v2.1 allways has less than 30 queries will everything enabled, latest threads, news posts, poll, buddies, threads/post since last visit, who's online, who's online today. I have managed to optimise and get out of the loop for both the news and the threads queries on v2.1

so then, if i understand correctly, the querries are optimised, however you will have more querries per page depending on how many posts are displayed.

is this correct?

thanks.

No, it will allways be a static number of queries no matter how many news posts/latest threads are displayed

Buddha · #**667** 10-10-2002, 07:22 PM

oh yeah.
that's fantastic.
good to hear.
that means with a lot of the options removed (such as i currently have), i should be able to drop the querries to the low 20s.
very cool.
i guess i will be updating afterall then.
looking forward to that final release buddy.

(by the way, will you have a manual install still with the final release as well as the installer? i'd like to make certain that all of the work i've put in isn't destroyed by the installer.)

NTLDR · #**668** 10-11-2002, 11:26 AM

Yes I will have manual install instructions for the final release

The man change is really the PHP which just needs updating, there are only 2 or 3 template edits and a few new ones for the shoutbox, upgrading should be very simple, easy and quick

Buddha · #**669** 10-11-2002, 11:48 AM

that sounds great then!
i was hoping to hear that... like i said, i've duplicated the php file nearly 20 times and altered it, and have created a lot of extra templates and replacements for those extra pages... didn't want that work to have been done for nothing.

again, i want to thank you for all of this work. i've been checking out peoples sites who have posted in this forum, and it's kinda disappointing to see that many are in fact using this script, but they have removed the copyright. i don't understand why people are so hesitant to show their support... i'm quite proud to have that copyright on my pages. shows i respect the work that has been done, and i support the product.
thanks.

NTLDR · #**670** 10-11-2002, 08:48 PM

Thanks for the kind words Buddha. I hope to release RC2 next week which will have the installer and the correct templates etc which I will have for test for about one week to iron out any bugs that may be left then it will go gold

Buddha · #**671** 10-11-2002, 10:28 PM

looking forward to it, buddy.
for sure.

you were mentioning in another post that there wouldn't be too many template edits... hoping this is still true.
