I know you guys think I am stupid and/or crazy to upgrade before the official release. But there are reasons. The first is that, when a major version is released, coders of the addons stop making upgrades to the version 1 addons. The second and most important is that I need to see what is going to happen to the site and the addons before they release the stable version. I need to see what custom work we need, I need to learn the new version, I need to check for bugs and server errors, and I may need to arrange for more space on the server.
We needed a new hard drive on the server that holds 4TB with version 2. That has been done. We were down a short time at 2 am the other night (that is when I had them do it).
We needed a custom registration script for version 2. I had to see what features it has as standard before I tell him what we want. He is on it. It won't be ready until next week because he is going out of town.
I located a couple of bugs that XF fixed, and a couple of bugs that the coder of the groups addon has supposedly fixed.
There is still some nonsense with the groups addon. He is working on it. I will have an update to install this evening when I get home from work. Groups are down until then because they are causing some horrific errors on the site.
The video library guy is not doing anything to update the video library as far as I know. I am going to have to make other arrangements.
I removed chat- no one uses or likes it. What about a shoutbox? Would you guys use that? Same coder, so it will be good.
Anyway, I wanted to know all this, so I can get everything running again as it was (as close as possible), then go back to sleep.
