    Now that's a release many directory owners have been expecting for months, I am glad to see that it is finally released and I think phpLB has some amazing features in this version.

    I think it now overtakes the LBS script.

    I'm in the process of upgrading zorg links now. Spotted a few bugs already. I will be helping some people to upgrade their bid directories in the next few days.

    At the moment it looks good. Some template and coded changes....all seems to be going well.

    the email came almost 2 hours after i downloaded the new version, there was a post in the forum so i knew earlier.

    I like the new features in the admin panel aswell, it all looks nice. Taking a while to get things changed over though.

    Just upgraded a clean 1.2 install and there are some issues. As ever, backup before you run the update.

    Tell me about it....Tekime said this should go smoothly but it isnt.

    If you download the "changed files mod" like i did, use the 1.2 > 1.4 with mods upgrade your long descriptions and deep links.

    If you use the default template the upgrade goes fine. For those people like amit who paid me to install mods i will be upgrading them for free. Others who struggle to upgrade their templates I can be hired to do it for you, otherwise you shall be using the default theme.
