I only want the changes that will stop the errors. I do not want to upgrade until VB3 if at all possible.

Is this possible?

I don't know, Stealthy. I'm still using v2.2.5

Upgrading isn't that hard.

I upgraded my vBulletin 2.2.5 board to 2.2.7 with around 30 hacks in around 3 hours.

Just download the instructions for all the hacks you have installed to your hard disk, grab vBulletin 2.2.7 from the members area and add the hacks in one by one.

Sure it takes a few hours, but hey, it's a small price to pay for having a forum which is up to date.

That's just it, I don't have the time to sit there and screw around re-adding in hacks and checking for bug fixes/upgrades to said hacks. Especially since I don't have a test board and my site needs to be online and working with no interruptions.

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation.

I upgraded my forums with over 150 hacks from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 in just over an hour with Araxis Merge. The time consuming thing is making sure you don't make the wrong changes. It can be done.

i decided to do wait for vb3, than upgrade, I will re-do the hacks or whatever that is needed..

This is very dissapointing to me. I do not have the time to redo all the hacks for 2.2.7 and then again for vb3. I have done too many modifications to the hacks I already installed to just set aside a few hours to do it. It will take days to make all the changes even with Araxis Merge or Beyond Compare. I cannot afford to have my forum down for that length of time because of a few errors I am receiving.

All I want is a fix (without upgrading) for the errors I am receiving.

The main errors I am receiving are:

1) When trying to modify a member in adminCP, I receive a database error.
2) My templates are all screwed up in adminCP. They are showing [change original] for all my unmodified templates.

What exactly is causing these errors? And why can we not just fix the code that is causing these errors instead of doing a complete utterly time consuming upgrade?

If fixing these errors is not possible without doing a complete upgrade, then that is fine, but please explain why this is not possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hope this helps!
