Well, call it one after you see it here wink...

And yeh, I'm recommending to all of my clients who WANT to upgrade to 7.3 to hold off until 7.3.2 is out the door... Some are more impatient than others wink... hehe

7.3 ended up being a much larger release than I would have liked, and the time it's taken to get all of the little buglets resolved kinda shows that. We're going to go back to smaller releases, that come out quicker instead of trying to do a variety of major things each release.

I'd like to have the development cycle be where we put out a feature release every 3 months or so.

We're close to having 7.3.2 into private beta. I'm going through the bug reports forum and getting that cleaned up. Once that's done, then we'll hand it over to the private beta testers.

Another hack out the door with 7.3.2 smile

To be honest, I don't like:

I own over 6 domains for UGN, some pc security programs mark our main URL as "disruptive" so users have to use a secondary domain; this change will effectively screw that up... I like having the option of having users choose their domain...

Why not have the fix just read what http_host is and use that for full URL... since you're relying on that to do the check anyway lol...

Hell, this will also stop SSL browsing, since it'll direct away from https to match http host; so you could use the http host to detect if SSL is being used or not and use vars based on that... (hell, PM me and I can give you my ssl code i use for other scripts lol)

Yep, that will work as well as far as I know. I'll change it and then I can see if it rears up any issues.

No, it doesn't do that. It keeps the protocol intact wink

Please make it optional, I like to force to the full url. Our board is also reachable through several URL's, but to avoid any crossdomain cookie issue we just force them to the full url. And I think the majority of the boards out there would be best server with that option.

Keeping the current hostname gives issues for islands, and any links posted in messages.

Might be able to squeeze in an option. It's a good point on links within posts. We'll probably go with the default as a redirect with an option to just force the FULL_URL to the current HTTP_HOST. I'll stick it under Primary Settings -> Advanced Options.

Good thing to call it 7.4. Looking at the number of files modified for this version, the installation will be major-upgrade wise anyway.
