Just a note that when I login to download ICB 1.2.3 all I have available is ICB.1.2.2 (You have to click "other versions" to get the latest version) .. that doesn't seem right??

Also the link for ICB in the instructions is wrong.. (references to "/customers/" when it should be "/customer/" for the download links .. :P

Thx bfarber :)

[bfarber]

Sure thing. :)

IPB.Blog 1.2.3 should now show as the latest version in the client center.

This is in reference to the following posted in announcement:

An IPB 2.15 to 2.1.6 upgrade pack has been made available here (Make sure you've logged into your client center before accessing that link).

I downloaded the upgrade pack, but there is no readme or any instructions on what do do to upgrade. I have IPB version 2.1.5 installed. Will using this upgrade pack have the same effect as upgrading using the full pack ? Will I get the new security build notification feature which is included in 2.1.6, if I upgrade my forum using the 2.1.5 to 2.1.6 upgrade pack ?

thanks for being so fast, Will.

oasiz, i have to mind the various mods i have. i just cannot blindly run an pgrade pack.

[lcwhitlock]

How important are the templates rebuild?

When I updated my forum, it wouldn't get past this section.....however, it says that my forum is updated. Unfortunately, it won't let me go back.

You can't expect IPS not to release security updates....
Hopefully when IPB 2.2 comes around you will see less and less of these kinds of updates because IPB 2.2 is slated to get a full third party security audit (hopefully catching errors like these).

Also I'm thinking that IPB 2.2 is further away than you think :P

[bfarber]

You can't expect IPS not to release security updates....

Exactly - we aren't releasing any more maintenance releases, however we would not want to leave our customers open to any known security exploits, so we are releasing 2.1.6 which covers all current known issues. The files ONLY fix the security exploits reported, and add the new version indicator system to the ACP.

Unfortunately, modified or not, this is one of those upgrades I'd highly recommend everyone install. :)

[SnowBlower]

I like IPB!

[FizzGiGG]

I like IPB!

PORK CHOP SANDWICHES!!!

umm, yeah, sorry, I like IPB also. ;)

I just want to say thanks for providing such a great product, and also providing these security updates even though 2.2 is just around the bend.

Cheers guys/gals!
