Chris, ref v 3.8.0 how will we go about upgrading styles like Blue Carbon?

[MaestroX]

I can give you a set of instructions to remake it from the Red Carbon style. It should be quite straight forward. When the time comes, open up a support ticket (wth FTP, admin details etc) and I'll help you out.

[tekguru]

Cheers, how much would it be for you to do the change over for us? Would normally have a go with assistance but the new job is killing me with long hours....

[MaestroX]

I'll have to get back to you with that one (open a support ticket on thursday). It depends on how large the update is.

[tekguru]

Not a problem, will do. I assume there would be too much work to advise manual changes to be applied from 3.7.5 to 3.8? Or is that still feasible?

[MaestroX]

At the moment I haven't had to look at the 3.8 templates so I don't have a clue. I'm spending the next couple of days to get familar with the new templates and code. So manual edits may or may not be available I'm afraid.

[tekguru]

Not a problem, we'll see how it goes then, as I've got to make sure Mods are compatible of course and male sure I know about our custom RC changes are recorded so I can replicate!

[tekguru]

Oh and just painlessly upgraded to 3.7.5. One strange thing is that vB did not say the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template needed updating - weird!
