mouser,
I seriously advise you
to install all your forum mods
to the test forum 1.1.1.
Then upgrade the test forum to 1.1.2.

Then publish the list of installed mods of the test forum.

We shall see which of the mods have lost the Uninstall link.

If there will be such mods with destroyed Uninstall possibility
then you will be forced to downgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 ..
more than once -

thus encreasing large-scale catastrophic maelstroms.

mouser:
Thanks gri, i do understand what you are saying about this.

I actually have a test forum where i test everything first before trying it on our main forum.

Also - i do not install any mods using the package manager for these kinds of reasons - I install them all manually by manually modifying the php files, so i never do any install/uninstall of mods.

The penalty for this is that i have to always spend a lot of time when upgrading to compare my modified files to the new files and update all the new changed manually.

iphigenie:
I know what you mean, thank goodness for good diff tools!

I'm going to watch that one - I have a forum to upgrade on one of my sites too

mouser:
Hopefully the forum has now been upgraded successfully.
Let me know of any troubles.
