E-Blah 10.0 has been released.

E-Blah 10.0 is considered a MAJOR release.  This means that it is recommended everyone with older versions upgrade to 10.0.  There are almost 50 new features that have been added.  There are almost 15 documented bug fixes.  This marks the most comprehensive upgrade in E-Blah history.  A small summary of the new features are:

• XHTML compliancy
  
• Complete rewrite of the calendar (which includes an RSS view of upcoming events and searchable events)
  
• Complete rewrite of the member database, which will allow for further expansion of member related activities
  
• "Unread Posts" has been added as a new search option
  
• Spam protection is now integrated via Akismet, which has protected thousands of Wordpress blogs from spam for years
  
• Uploaded images are now automatically resized (requires GD on the server)
  
• Brand new portal setup
  
• Threads can now be "watched" instead of just e-mailed on new threads
  
• Setup and upgrade scripts now run more efficiently (and are also XHTML compliant)
  

I recommend everyone go and download their copy today!

REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR FORUM ... BEFORE YOU UPGRADE!

Haha, I'm uploading it right now Thanks for doing all that hard work.


Okay, the upgrade went fine, but I was wondering, do you need to get a new template when you upgrade?

Thanks Justin and everyone for all the time and hard work you put into it. I can not wait to get it uploaded!!

Hi, Great work.

However I am having an issue.

What's up with this?

E-Blah 10 is great! Can't wait to use it myself.

@Spirited: I don't think a new template is required. Just asked Justin, and he said you can use your old template with a few changes (mainly CSS).

@Cyberface: Look below at Justin's response.

You didn't upload all of the new language files.

Also, make sure you run Setup.

Ah, thanks. And yes, it really is! I've had a play with some of the new things, and it's awesome! The smilies and text formatting options on the quick reply box are particularly useful  

I've fixed a number of minor issues since release.  Mainly with xx.png showing up for everything and replying to PM's not adding the TO line.  I've fixed both of those, if you have those issues.  

You're going to have to transfer the new CSS configuration to your forum.

Code body { text-align      : center; } table { margin-left : auto; margin-right: auto; } /*    Centering help:    http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/center/ */ td { text-align: left; } .loading { background-image : url(/blahdocs/images/loading.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; width            : 222px; height           : 19px; } .right { text-align: right !important; } .center { text-align: center !important; } .justify { text-align: justify !important; } .vtop { vertical-align: top !important; } .innertable { margin: 0px !important; } .leftimg { float        : left; padding-right: 5px; } .rightimg { float       : right; padding-left: 5px; } .centerimg { vertical-align: middle; } form, input { margin-top: 0px; } form { margin-bottom: 0px; } .boardsearch { background    : url(/blahdocs/images/search.png) 3px 4px no-repeat; padding-left  : 19px; padding-top   : 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; width         : 90%; } /* If user has a color, specify the options for that user name to appear here */ .usercolors { font-weight: bold; }

If you are upgrading, add that.  If it's a new install, just install and enjoy!  

It'd be really nice if this could be dugg:

Thanks for the USUAL quick reply.

I had uploaded all the Language files but tried it again and it was still doing the same thing.
Since it was member related I went to rebuild the member list (boards too for good measure) and it seems to have fixed the problem for me. I will see in the next day or so if it is ok for all users (should be).



Thanks again
PS* you guys by any chance writing a dating site? I may need a beter one  than I have now in the near future.....

Make sure you also rebuild the boards too, since that error you were getting was somewhat related to that.

Is that the bug which puts a number in place of a username in the to line? I still have that one. Which bit do I need to reupload to fix it?

You were quick off the mark finding that, though. I wouldn't have noticed

Cool. I downloaded it.
But is there a step by step of how to upgarde like the one you guys have for P9 to P9.x in blahdocs.com?
If not, is there going to be one soon? What are the files that I need to upload for the upgrade?

Thanks for your help!  

Got the email announcing version 10 with a link to the documentation, but that seems to be for version 9, and I cannot find any information in the eblah 10 download on how to upgrade from version 9 to version 10, as we used to get in previous version.
Thanks for all your hard work.
