FusionBB 3.1 Beta has been released to the client download area. If you have questions about how to access the download area PT me or open a support ticket. I have posted articles about this before and will update this post to link to those shortly. Big thumbs up to Couch, Josh, Chris, Greg and the Alpha team for making this happen. Due to the alpha teams time, dedications and great feedback to our team we have a better product to show for it. This is a BETA release. As always we never recommend updating a live environment with a BETA release. Your license does allow you to run a test / sandbox install and we recommend you do a trial upgrade first. Don't forget to always make a backup of your files and database before making an upgrade. Please give us your feedback on this release as that helps us move forward from a beta to a gold / final release. Some notes from Couch regarding the install: 1) Backup your site and its templates/skins/config 2) Now that you have a copy of your site delete skins and template directories 3) Copy all files from install over to site 4) Run the install 5) Change any custom templates to the new directory format. I would suggest examining the fusionbb directory structure to see what is where. Also notice the new userpage and mail directory structures. Copy any custom templates over to server make sure to change the template directory name to something other than fusionbb and smallscreen 6) Change any custom templates to the new directory format. I would suggest taking one of the default ones and using that as a basis for any custom skins. This will be how the format is from here out. Copy any custom skins over to server make sure to change the skins directory name to something other then the default ones 7) Go into the admin panel and set any new config variables.  Go to Admin Panel -> Site Tools -> Edit Skins and Edit Templates and import anyskins/templates that are not in the db, they should be the ones that appear with the asterisk (*) ## If on a suphp or IIS Server your files will be owned by the site owner. If not on suphp or IIS you will notice that files are now owned by the user that apache is set to write files as. most cases it could be user 99, nobody, or apache. This will be dependent upon how your host has your server setup. If for some reason your ftp program cannot change file permissions or overwrite files there are two files included now to fix permissioning one is in Admin Panel -> Miscellaneous -> Unlock Files, and other is in your main directory called unlock.php which can be run as http://yoursite.com/yourforum/unlock.php ## Reasoning behind new setup for skins/templates directories is that it was becoming harder to know what files were missing from each and the ever increasing time it was taking to do an upgrade. From here on out it will be a lot easier, faster, and more reliable. Discuss this post HERE.
