How hard is it going to be to upgrade the database from 3.303?
Will we HAVE to start over again or will we be able to keep existing posts and users?

very simple, this process is tested thoroughly, I have never heard of anyone losing data when upgrading to a newer version.

I really love the groupCat Mod, but shouldn´t it be a bit more developed before it´s included to standard code? - I think that if include it as standardcode, we should have atleast 4 more mlev,s (GroupAdmin/moderator and CatAdmin/moderator) - general problem I think to few mlevs and flexibility to assign rights to these, what do you guys think?
Also before 3.4 is released, I think we should wait till Nikkol´s usergroups MOD is done - I´ve tested it and it will be really cool!

The Group Category MOD is used to "Group" Categories together to better organize how they are displayed. This does not require any changes to the current Member Levels. |

Just because we included a few mods into the base code doesn't mean we are going to include everyone's favourite mod too. And more unlikely will we include a mod that hasn't even been released yet (reffering to Morten). I don't like the idea of including mods that haven't been out a while and haven't been tested and the bugs sorted out yet. It makes it even harder to debug when in it is in the base code. And we will surely miss a problem/bug with a mod with the few developers that are bug testing it, instead of many users using the mod over different systems and databases and can report any problems/bugs they have with the mod. We will just end up having to release 3.4.1 and so on to fix these mod bugs.
So please don't ask us to include any mods that hasn't been thoroughly tested for a while. And we will only include it if deemed necessary. This version wasn't intended for including everyone's mods. Think we had a later version of the forum to do mod including.

Are the files inc_create_forum_sql6.asp and inc_create_forum_sql7.asp going to be merged into one? There is not a lot of differences between them, just varchar or nvarchar, which could be set as a variable as the start.

| I did a search for the topic where this was discussed back when I first started working on the code for v3.4. The link that was provided for the combined inc_create_forum_sql6.asp/inc_create_forum_sql7.asp file didn't work. so as of right now, they are still 2 separate files. |

Add the following code near the top
if strSQL_Server = "SQL6" then
strN = ""
else
strN = "n"
end if
and search and replace nvarchar with " & strN & "varchar
and also ntext with " & strN & "text

That's the only differences in the two files.
SQL7 and above allows nvarchar and ntext data types (UNICODE) but these don't exist in SQL6.5.
Also in setup.asp, there is a question asking which version of SQL Server you are using:
SQL Server 6.5 or SQL Server 7. That should be changed to SQL Server 7 and above.

That could be automatic, if you run the following select statement, you can workout what version is running:
select DBVER=convert(float,substring(@@version,charindex('Microsoft SQL Server',@@version) +21,5))

I was informed that 3.4 will include flood control and a 'subscribe to topic' checkbox option when posting new posts. Is this true?
Thanks
