(reserving spot for something witty)

in head of the Giz.

Thanks Rick for all your efforts - roll on 7.4

Wow - completely missed that post. Thanks.

Still finalizing the subscription docs Mark. Didn't want to delay the release any longer, but I'll have them shortly.

That's fine by me

Question on updating from V7.2

Copy only the common.css file from styles directory nothing else in that directory

For the cache_builders directory copy all files EXCEPT the custom subdirectoy ?

Right ?

Does this all be copied to existing functional forum directory or have to be some temp install directory on forum server ?

Thanks

Pretty much, follow the standard upgrade guide, only copy over the common.css file.

Thanks but not clear if files are copied/ overwritten to existing functional directory or make a temp install directory and run upgrade.php from there and it finds the functional directory ?

As the files are new, and are imperative to be installed; it'd be to your live forum and not a temporary location (as the upgrade guides would state)

OK got it, upgrade completed.

They should add to the upgrade document to overwrite all files to existing functional directory instead of stating to copy to a install directory so it is clearer on the upgrade process

Where do I find the new custom tag editor? I've gone through the entire admin panel but can't find it anywhere...

admin/rebuildcontent.php - second tab, although not sure why it is linked to the content rebuilder.

Found it! More questions though See http://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/211374/Custom_tags_for_tables.html#Post211374

...and if you don't have a common.css file?

It should be in your styles directory. I just double checked the zip to make sure I included it, and it definitely should be in there.

We're talking about 7.2 right, Rick ?

common.css is included within 7.3

Yes I can see how I misinterpreted this line

I thought it meant upgrading from 7.2 - but now I see that it doesn't...

Just to clarify, does this mean we can update our current custom styles automatically, without it touching current settings, and without using WinMerge or something?

Your current styles should be pushed into the upgrade just fine; however you'll likely have to go into the style editor and make sure none of the options are blank (they're new if they are).
