Is there any possibility of upgrading from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7?

Go for it, g-force2k2! That would be great. The I can be like all of the big boys and be running the latest.

This is almost as good as Christmas.

umm whats happening with the vb 2.2.6 upgrade to 2.2.7 hack?

The same thing that is apparently happening with the 2.2.5 to 2.2.7 upgrade, nothing! I think someone looked into it and decided with all of the cookies session changes, that it would be harder than they thought.

Not everyone. I've tried Beyond Compare (and Araxis Merge) and found them both to be more hassle than they're worth. Neither program would do the changes 100% correctly, as I always got a variety of errors from various files after using those two programs.

A manual list of changes/additions/deletions would be the easiest and most efficient way of upgrading to a new version. I'm honestly surprised they don't offer that level of support.

I'd also appreciate it if someone could do a list of changes needed to upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.7!

I'll even throw in a plug on my Web site for anyone who can compile such a list!

I didnt suggest using the program for upgrading the board. If the board is very heavily hacked, I agree that neither Beyond Compare nor Araxis Merge helps so much.. At least not for a newbie user. It's very likely that you'll miss a line and you would end up with a buggy/not working board. Although someone with vb/PHP experience can handle this, it's not for many newbies.

However I suggested using the program for detecting differences of UNHACKED 226 and UNHACKED 227. If you are going to compile such a list (as g-force offered), you'll be most comfortable with beyond compare or Araxis Merge, instead of comparing thousands of line by eye..

I dunno, even upgrading a heavily hacked board is not that bad. I just keep a list of all the changes I've made to the code, and while I'm upgrading I usually find now little additions/changes I can make, or have ideas for new hacks.

You just gotta set aside an hour or two and get it taken care of.
