I just finish to set up my forums page with Ver7.7 and make many
changes in forms, languajes, messages, autoresponse replies, etc.
I downloaded the new 7.7a version and remain prepare to upgrade, but I
very aprehensive to make changes over my past work who worked very
well. So I decided to look first line by line to see the upgrades or
changes.
e.g. admin/suspend_registration.asp didn't see any change excep a text in line 124
If you want your own FREE Forum then goto http://www.webwizforums.com -->
Same thing in forum_post.asp, is that correct, or I missing something?
I'm working over the rest of files...
What do you recommend me to a secure upgrade? see line by line
and make changes manually where files imply personals mods or replace
all full new files? Im just an amateur not a programer.

There are changes to all the files in the version history file or I
wouldn't bother typing the change into the version history file, what
the changes are I can't remeber, it should say in the version history
file.
Although it is worth replacing all the files as I usually forget to put some changes in the version history file.

Is it possible to get the version history file without downloading the entire forum? I'll probably download the entire forum, but it would be nice in the future to be able to decided whether such a download is necessary before downloading.

New versions are never bought out unless you should upgrade.
New versions are usually released with bug and security fixes, if you
arn't running the latest version your forum may not be secure or stable.

Yes, but in case a lot of the fixes regard the application variables, date functions, uploads and admin tools which I have altered to fit my needs or do not use. From this upgrade, the only change I needed was on the search page, it's hardly worth downloding the entire forum for that one change.
You are forgetting that a lot of us heavily modify the basic forum and it would be a great help to us not to have to download the entire forum in order to find out that you updated pages to modify application variables or the RTE both of which I don't use on my forum.
