opentype Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I bought a second license and I am currently setting up a new 4.0 site. While doing this over the last weeks I have been filing dozens of bug reports for IPS 4.0. Most of them have been marked “fixed”. However, when I install the newest update, I find, that quite a few persist on my site and it is getting more and more frustrating. My suspicion is: “fixed” is meant for a new IPS installations, but it doesn’t always mean that the upgrade routine is actually fixing the issues on my beta installation. Am I right or am I wrong? I don’t know how to go on with this. Reporting the issues again either gets ignored or will end up with “can’t reproduce/closed”. Sure, if the problem doesn’t exist on a new installation, it can’t be reproduced. But that doesn’t resolve the problem on my site. But since there are now weeks of work in my installation already, I don’t want to start all over again just to get rid of those bugs. But I also can’t get my site online with those bugs still around. So what to do? Am I the only one with this problem? How are others dealing with it? Was it my fault to believe I could built my site on beta software and then have all issues resolved with the upgrades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddysong Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I sympathise. There were a few bugs in mine that persisted between betas 4 and 5. I started again with a fresh installation and have learned to keep a list of all the changes I've made ready for replication should the need arise in future.

Management Charles Posted February 1, 2015 Management Share Posted February 1, 2015 It should fix them in existing installs too. Reply to a few bug reports marked fixed with your experience and we will have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opentype Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 If you can provide links to a few examples I can take a look.Gladly …All the following problems are not solved for me. 1. “Revert button deletes templates”. Reported. Fixed. Still persists after upgrading. http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/beta-4b-pages-reverting-templates-deletes-them-r1184/2 “Pages filters not working”.

Still persists after upgrading. http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/beta-5-pages-mapaddress-caching-r1536/4. “certain characters in URL prevent file upload“.http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/special-character-in-url-breaks-attachment-upload-r1201/5. “Syntax error during registration“http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/beta-5-parse-error-during-registration-r1720/6. “Cryptic codes as links”http://community.invisionpower.com/4bugtrack/beta-5a-cryptic-codes-as-links-r1596/7. “Missing theme setting language bits”.

bfarber Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 1 & 2: I've asked for some input from Matt on the fixes3) If you can submit a ticket in your client area with ACP and FTP access ATTN Brandon I'm happy to take a look4) I couldn't reproduce, it wasn't marked fixed (so this isn't an install vs upgrade thing). I can take a look if you submit a ticket per #3.5) I've asked for some input from Andy on this6) I had replied to the report asking if you can reproduce this still when performing another test step, as I cannot reproduce so we need more information on why you are having this issue.7) This report is still in Pending status (and in fact we have approximately 3 open bug reports about this issue).
