You would need to upgrade to the latest version. The logging tools discussed where only included around 9.60.
You would not be able to back port the logging to 8.05, without allot of work as the logging is integrated in to many files and places within the forum system.

Ok, sorry i seem to have got into the wrong area. I am home now and have just found my forum version is 8.05
To add to this topic, my setup_options_inc.asp file does not have the text above or anything like it so I suppose there will not be any record of past events.
Can the file be modified with the later text or is that not a good idea? |
Version 8.05 is very old now and the best advice would be for you to upgrade to the latest most stable version, but be warned, the changes from how 8.05 looks as compared to the latest 9.71 will make the forum look quite different. However, I prefer the visual appearance of the latest software, and more importantly, you will be securing the forum against vulnerabilities that probably exist on that older version for sure

Thanks again for prompt reply. I'm ok with creating new folders etc but as I am using an older version (8.05) will the changes to the setup_options_inc.asp still work?
Also, can I do this on a 'Live' forum? as I don't want to take it offline if I don't have to!

Aha, thanks Bruce and MrTWS, it seems my situation would be best handled with an upgrade. I will report back to the people who pay the bills and see how they react.
By the way, what is the cost to upgrade to v9.71?

Short answer no. You would really need to take the plunge and run an upgrade, however there are options to running one in place, as I did a similar upgrade project for a forum member a while back

You should contact sales to check to see what the upgrade options would be. LINK

He did an upgrade for us, went very smoothly. We were barely down at all. All the prep work was done ahead, everything documented, and the log folder moved to a safer place.
There have been no negatives since the upgrade.
My guess is he'll be involved in the next upgrade as well..................
Between Bruce and MrTWS, etc. - you can trust it will be right. Bruce doesn't like things "hacked" and is a security nut - this is a very secure forum set. It helped that those involved are in the UK, and we are in the states - so the upgrade happened while many members slept (although from the looks at our post times, I think some members NEVER sleep!)
