Borg, probably not a big deal but it looks like you might
have made a change to the common.asp file as well. (Just based on the
date of the file) |
The only thing changed in the common.asp file is the version number.

Borg, if I was you I wouldn't tell the exact security hole and how it can be manipulated but I would say what the security issue can do...

I can't really say as this would allow un patched forums to be hacked.

If you downloaded the patch file only (this

Can we upgrade from (our current) version 7.01 to 7.8 without loosing any of our data? - or - Do you have a link to upgrade from 7.01 to 7.7?
Then we could install the security patch.

You haven't said what database version you are running???? 7.01 is
about 10 versions behind and there are many new features and security
updates since then.
If you are running the Access version just download the full version
7.8 and replace all the files except the database .mbd file.
If you are running the MS SQL server version, then do the same as
above, but you will also need to search this forum to find all the
update posts on what Stored procedures need to be changed on the MS SQL
Server.

In the admin menu, the admin_menu.asp still shows 7.7a - it calls "strVersion". I don't mind this too much now, but it can confuse me later as to what version I have installed.
How do I update this? Thanks for the updates, boRg! It's good to have you back!
