Upgrading from 3.5.1

[cbiweb]

One more thing.... my host said I could also choose to use an earlier version of PHP for that particular site (by creating a subdomain and linking to it), which I wouldn't mind doing in the short term...

[cbiweb]

Ah, okay. Thanks!

3.8.8 is an 'unstable' beta?

I have a 3.5.1 installation in my web design portfolio, which no longer works due to my new host using PHP 5.4. To preserve the original board design and extensive customizations as much as possible,...

Thanks, Joe. It's all good now.

And thanks for the reminder to use Notepad++, which I have but hadn't changed the default edit app from Windows Notepad. So that's taken care of now as well....

After my host migrated to new servers, my site has had a couple issues. The worst one is seen in the screenshot attached to this post; not only the Warning at the top, but the mashed up page in general....

Further research reveals something I did not know.... that Windows Notepad automatically adds a BOM when a file is saved in UTF-8. I thought my Notepad was using ANSI, but I guess not. :-\
In any...

Sneaky little devils they are. I hate them. Thanks Mark, and say thanks to Lynne for me.

[cbiweb]

Ticket submitted. Thanks!

Okay, checked this out and am now a touch confused. When asked the host about the MySQL version he said:




I told him I see it in my phpinfo page. All instances where it...

[cbiweb]

hmmmmm..... that could very well be what I'm missing. Must have a little chat with the host....

Thanks for that.

First time installation of 5.0.5, clean not upgraded, remote server on my domain.
PHP version: 5.4.17
MySQL 5.0.10

Install went perfectly, the page appears fine, no other errors...

My license includes both vB4 and vB5. I already run a private vB4 site for my family only; it is completely secured from the public. There are only 18 family members using the site.
I don't want...

Mine finally updated, too. I suspect it was also a case of not waiting long enough for the cron job to do its job. But it only updated one of two test accounts. The one that did update was tested using...

I am having the same problem with 4.2.0 PL2. First time setting up a paid subscription, and when I tested it with a test user, the results were:

1. Payment successfully sent to PayPal
2.

People run tests for many reasons, not just to test the site. Look at my Join Date and Post count. Does it look like I don't know that the site is well established?

But if you must know,...

Thanks, Hartmut. That worked for most of the custom fields. The 'Biography' field is still being displayed, however, and there is no 'Show on Members List' option for that one, so I can't turn it off....

[cbiweb]

In ACP > Settings > Options > User Listing Options I can specify which user profile fields can be shown on the Member List. When I choose "Custom Fields", it adds every custom field,...

Thanks, everyone. By the lack of replies I can only assume that my choices of vB versions are fine, and no others need to be added (or ignored). We need a thumbs up smiley here.
