The main reason why you need to keep up-to-date with the latest version is for security reasons.

When security holes are found in the software a new version is released within 24 hours, this is one of the fastest turnarounds for any software, EVER. If you don't run the latest version then you are running the risk of your forum being hacked.

Supporting multiple version is time consuming and expensive, this is why upgrades for web wiz forums are free. To support multiple versions then the price would need to go up to cover the costs of supporting older versions and the free upgrades for licenses would have to be dropped.

There are a few security concerns I have with the last 7.x version which is why I would recommend all users upgrade ASAP to version 8. If your 7.x forum gets hacked, then you can't say you have not been warned.

Well, as i never take backups it happens from time to time that i lose a file or messup them and i never document changes, just keep them in my head, so i need the 7.9x (latest).

I payed my share as i like the software very much, but what do you men when saying that support is only for the latest version, do i has to be constantly in the upgrade process or can i just sit down and relax when everything is done and i just administer the forum.

You see, its not my native language either and that makes things harder for me. I don't ask for a versin years back, just the latest before your beta arrived. Ok, i know you have worked hard to solve many issues and implement new features, but i dont need them. The latest 7.9x version fits my needs as a glove on my hand, it's outstanding and perfect.

Best Regards.

Version 7.x is no longer supported and you should upgrade to version 8, not just for new features but for security and performance issues.

As upgrades are free, only the latest version is supported.

 Smile Hi all, i messed up my 7.96 files and doesn't need 8.x features so i am happy with the older version and wonder if anyone can send them in a mail to  janne4you@hotmail.com  or put up a link here, thanks in advance.
 
Just the original zipped file (sql-version), i like it very much.
