I know that this forum is beta 4 but will there be a public beta 4 or will we just see the final version since there was only a small amount of bugs found in beta 3?

There are new tables etc. in the next version so there will be a beta 4, just don't have the time at the moment to have it finshed.

I'm farid it won't be, unless you manually create the new tables and fields in your old beta 3 database.

And before anyone has ago at me, I have been warning about this all the time, which is why I have said to only use beta version for testing and not place them on a live web site.

Is there a reason we can't manually edit the database file to do this?
I'm willing, I guess. However, I can't imagine that you could improve any on beta 3. It's the easiest thing I've ever setup. I mean from unzip to install and use was a matter of minutes. Took longer to copy files to the server than it did to get it working and I don't really see any issues that can't be lived with for our small site.
I like it so well I'm strongly considering a "donation".
All I need now is to get it working with ABMail our ISP uses - someone in one of the forums here offered some help with that........
I also need to learn how to modify the looks a bit for our site, customize, but hey, that's minor. I guess what I'm saying is that this thing is awsome - to look elsewhere for better would be futile.

After version 7 is out I plan on donating $10 to Borg's efforts. I know it is not much but I won't remove the "Powered by" from the forums after my donation.

$10...that's it?

Borg, when the final version is released I will be sending you $100. That's what most of the PHP forums seem to go for and that's how much I think yours is worth.

I highly doubt that you will send him $100.
Also, most PHP forums are free.

I think I will probably also make another donation myself, but I don't think it matters how much.  I think if an amount was an issue this board would cost money from the start, and borg has sai it will be free (Thanks Borg!).

As for a beta 4 release... I'm looking forward to it, but won't be upgrading until Final so I only have to do one more change.

I know most of them are free, but some of the better ones cost on average about $100 so I figure that's what I'll dontate. That and I've got a PayPal balance that's just not doing anything so I figure Borg could use some of it.

Don't be so lame as to compete over how much u donate, it's really lame to do such a thing, donate what you think is appropriate but dont go and be a ass and brag bout it or anything.

Your'e right dude! You shouldn't be an ass...

And borg, Can you please write down in the version history what changes there were with the db and what pages were changed from Beta 3 to 4?

C'mon Dolby, give Bruce a break - These are Beta versions and NOT release versions. Although he will be working from his own developer's scratchlist just as we all do, what you suggest will add many hours to his already busy workload.

Find out the page changes yourself by looking at the datestamps on the Beta 4 download. Similarly, open the Beta4 DB in Access and look at the datestamps of each table. If you want to assist everyone else here, you could always report your findings!!

Hope this helps
Nigel

It shouldn't be that hard to edit the database either by hand or having someone do a script to add and delete the tables that need to be.
