FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions
========================
- Where to see it in action? / Demo?
Well guess what, it's running since the beginning on our board:
- Am I able to comprehend your changes? / Am I able to do the modding myself?
Yes, the .txt formatted changelogs are provided with this release, you can find them in the docs folder.
- What happens if there is a newer version out in the future?
In the case of 3.6.x you can use the patch-onlys from vbulletin.com or just wait till we update the GYSN EDiTiON.
In the case of 3.7.x we will release a GYSN EDiTiON after the final / 'gold' release has been published by Jelsoft.
- Is it possible to upgrade my current forum to the GYSN EDiTiON?
Possible yes, but at the moment we are not offering such.
- Is there a way to import my forum back to the original vBulletin?
The only changes within the database between the GYSN EDiTiON and the original version are that the GYSN EDiTiON isn't using, even creating the IP logging tables.
So if you use a database created with the GYSN EDiTiON you are not losing any data beside the IPs of your users.
Which also means: Restoring the IP logging tables would make your forum database able to run with the original version again.
