AR has been upgraded to vBulletin 3.6.7

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 01:41 AM

...to the latest version of vBulletin. I was going to be doing it tonight, but my internet connection is running slow as balls. I've finished all of my testing, so it's ready whenever my internet starts acting right. I'll probably do it tomorrow night.

how long does that take?

~30 minutes tops, assuming there are no problems.

The process that I follow:

Turn forum off
Create a fresh database backup
Upload new files
Run upgrade script
Copy/Paste around five customized templates from the test forum to the live forum
Double check to make sure everything is working correctly
Turn forum back on

When you do it make it chop f***ing chop!

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 01:59 AM

I'll probably do it tomorrow evening at around 9PM or 10PM (CST), assuming my upload speeds are back to normal.

There's always a possibility of problems, but it should be simple. I've already done the work to the AR test forum and it works fine.

That was just a different forum skin.

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 08:22 PM

Just a reminder... You guys should expect ~30 minutes of downtime in about an hour.

Nothing that you'll notice, but you can read about the differences here:

vBulletin 3.6.6 Released - vBulletin Community Forum

vBulletin 3.6.7 Released - vBulletin Community Forum

We were running vBulletin 3.6.5. We are now running 3.6.7.

**tallnick** · June 10th, 2007, 10:07 PM

ah...

I was hoping for something really cool..

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 10:10 PM

vBulletin is coming out with a few new additions soon. This update prepares for that, along with a few security updates. There will be a blog and a project management system. We'll probably use the blog as a main page here at AR, depending on the price and how it compares to Wordpress.

**Ole** · June 10th, 2007, 10:52 PM

Nice work Nick.

You've always run a clean board.

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 10:58 PM

Define "clean" though.

As in opposite of thischick.

**Nick** · June 10th, 2007, 11:07 PM

In that case, it's true. You won't catch any diseases from f***ing around with AR.
