You just have to know how to use them properly. Depending on how heavily hacked your forum is, you cannot just use their automated compare and change functions - you need to go through the code WITH the program and only transfer the NEW bits, not the different bits.

Yes, I know. I never used the auto-compare function. But even after manually going through the code I was still getting errors.
Well I've used Beyond Compare to make a list of code changes between versions 2.2.5 and 2.2.7, but since there are apparently template changes in 2.2.7 as well I'm hoping someone can help the cause by providing a list of those changes. Then we can combine my list and yours, and get someone to test it out on an unhacked test board (as I don't have a test board).
