Is it safe to upload yet?

Myself I am going to wait a few days.

As I recall, cant find it as the search function is BROKE again, that Rick said that his beta testing staff has dropped off recently and these latest releases have not been tested as much as the previous versions.

matter of fact there are 'beta testers' who really don't test at all and it's been that way for quite awhile..:2c:

Well suppose one has to clarify that as I certainly don't recall any documentation requiring any specific feedback, code check, input, etc when Rick has added testers. Yourself and a couple others really go the extra mile and do a LOT compared to most of the rest of us though and I'll give you that in spades, but to say that others don't test at all is possibly a bit inaccurate, but then again that's my own perception and I could be wrong.

I've tested many things myself but I know I don't always provide frequent feedback, so if Rick wants or requires a more structured tester then I think that should be clarified.

is there a way to just install the modified files? it seems like a complete install everytime.

EVEN if there was another zip that had those files we have to delete everytime..

Or is there an easier way?

I beta test each release; have been busy with the divorce lately so i haven't posted much at either forum to signify that though... Plus I keep the tots in line here hehe...

I use another package, and when ever there is an upgrade, I click a button, my CP has all the ftp stuff, and it updates the software, I think of that everytime I update threads...

While we will be doing some stuff via internal FTP in version 8, permissions, etc. doing upgrades this way is a bit tough. If we were free software it would be easy peasy. Since we're not, there would need to be some sort of authentication layer so a bit more involved.

Not saying that it's out of the question that we'll do that someday, it's just there would be a few extra hurdles for us.

Authorization would result in a "callback" to a license server, which would arise privacy issues... people would cry :nod:...

I believe you have posted in on this conversation as well Gizmo as you replied to one or two of my posts in that thread.

Well Ruben, my statement came from the great wizdom of Mr. Charles Capps (Former UBB.Classic developer) years ago when I asked about license checks ...

BTW where is the tongue. I got used to it so I expect it. LOL

Ummm, I didn't think I was beating up on the beta testers for one, I did however TRY to point out that "Rick" himself had stated that the beta testing program has become laxed causing more bugs not to be found before the product was released to the general public.

I personally think you should have quoted Rick as he "beat up" on his own beta testing program if your looking at it in that manner.
Well I am not going to beat up on any beta testers.
I think the first thing people forget is they are all volunteers meaning they all work for free.
They may check out very thoroughly what they think is pertinent to the changes so they may overlook some items.

What I don't agree to is if a person want's to be a beta tester then they should also at least send a message to Rick that they don't have time to be one anymore. Or at least they don't have time to test the current beta release.

I see the search is working again. Why has it been breaking with every upgrade since 7.4?

I'd be willing to jump into the fray, but will have to wait and see what happens I guess. I've been an alpha tester with a company and have really enjoyed finding issues and working for a resolution.

It use to show which thread people were viewing, now it only shows that for the visitors, or is there a switch for that someplace?

Can we have a 7.5.3 (Soon) 7.5.2 is too buggy for me IMO
And i waana upgrade

elate ?

what happened to the 'abor' part ? :shrug:

7.5.3 ?

Anytime soon ?

Mark I am using 7.5.2 and even though you stated in other posts that it is a little buggy. It works fine for me.
Can you elate on a few prime issues you have?

Any chance for this weekend? 7.5.3

I do plan on getting 7.5.3 out by the end of the month, probably within the next week or so.

I have a group of people who use the PM feature to respond to on ongoing discussion. There are 2200+ nested replies. When we installed the update there is no longer a place to submit a reply. It says we have exceed the 100 replies. Here is the message:

This topic has reached it's maximum length of 100 posts. You cannot add any more posts to this topic.


Is there a way around this?
