Downloading older versions of vB?

[N9ne]

I was just thinking to myself, what if I stay with 2.2.5 for a while now because I have it hacked so much...and newer versions are released...there might be a problem, for example, lets say I lose data on my computer for some reason or another, and I might need the ZIP for 2.2.5 when 2.3 or something is out, what would I do?! Just incase I might need some files for whatever reasons, is it actually possible to download older versions?

No it's not an option. Besides IMO it would be irresponsible for Jelsoft to make older versions with security holes available for download. In the end it's up to everyone to make and keep their own backups.

the member cp does tell you to email them if you want older versions of it

make better backup policies for your data

i.e. i use Ghost 2002 to create images of my drive which i clone to a 2nd drive and also place the ghost images to a 3rd disk

I agree with smachol.

Also, everytime a new version of vB is released just download it... (and keep it) Then you will have every version and you will also have nothing to worry about

Cheez please so that you're a licensed user by going to http://www.vbulletin.com/members/forums.php and enter your forum username
- you will need your vB license customer number and password to access this form

it's also against vB licensing to distribute vB files

When will people learn?

13 posts and all those versions......I don't believe that for a second. Show me just one person who has a 1.13 version and only 13 posts!

I have vB 6.0. Is that illegal?

I think he was refering to the part that says "i'll give u old versions"

I have vb3

oh wait, no i dont

[JamesUS]

/me thinks back to the good old days when vB 1.1.3 was just released

I don't think you'd really want to use those old, featureless versions anymore anyway...when you compare them to what we have today it shows just how far we have come in such a short time.

vB1.1.6 still is an awesome piece of software IMO, except GZIP that is

[mrbojangle]

was any of the Vb 1.x.x stable? security wize?
