The new versions are coming out at a fast and furious pace! I downloaded 7.51 but 7.6 came out before I was able to get 7.51a. Is the SQL Server version of 7.51a available somewhere?

Bruce, as a suggestion, please consider keeping a download archive of at least a couple of previous versions. At least for the minor version updates. I'm sure not everyone visits often enough to get every update before the next one comes out. I see 7.7 is already in alpha.

Thanks!

Send me a PM with your email, and I'll send you SQL-version 7.51a.

Thanks a lot for the quick response, and for the file!

Just another (brilliant?) thought for Bruce. Maybe a mail-list that users can sign up for for notices of updates would be helpful. Personally I visit the site fairly frequently, but obviously not frequently enough. But an e-mail notice would be great so I'll know for sure when a new version (or new software) is available!

The reason why older versions are not avialable for download is that it would make things much more difficult supporting multiple versions.

Also you should run the latest version as security holes and bugs have been fixed in newer versions.

Thanks for the response, Bruce. I'm not quite sure what you mean by supporting mulitple versions. I'm not suggesting that you provide any more support for the older versions than is already provided. Just make the incremental updates available so each update can be made in the correct order. Possibly I'm going about updating incorrectly.

I have been trying to keep up to date with the latest versions. Although I must say that I am probably losing some of my potential users as the direction of many of the forum enhancements is om tje area of increased user activity tracking. Many users like to remain as anonymous as possible while on the Internet, so some of these kinds of changes keep them from registering.

It's a fine balance between what the webmaster wants and what the users like. Maybe a bit more control in turning some of these tracking features on/off in the admin section can help customize the forum for different needs.

Anyway, overall it's a great product and I'm very happy with it!

You don't need the older versions, just upgrade from whatever version you have to the latest version.

There is little point in updating from one old version to another old version. Just skip that and go straight for the latest version.

You are better upgrading to the latest version. You don't need to upgrade to previous versions, if you are using an old version of the forum.
