    About 4 hours before I was leaving for my trip, update 3.0.2 for IPB came out. Being paranoid about security flaws I started the upgrade to 3.0.2. Then all hell broke loose. The shoutbox didn't work, search didn't work, and AJAX quick reply was messing up.

    After awhile here is the story.

    I downloaded 3.0.2 and began re-doing the file edits that make (Group Format, PM on Topic Moderation and other mods) without checking if I did the edits right. I then started the upload to iBotModz, and began the upgrade. At first there was no noticeable problem, except for the shoutbox. I thought it was my file edits, so I panic-ed and re-uploaded a fresh build of 3.0.2. That didn't fix the problem, so I re-began to do the file edits to get those mods working again. Then I learned there were 3 major flaws in 3.0.2 so I downloaded another fresh package and started again, then ANYTHING that was 3rd party and used AJAX failed.

    This was because the secure hash sent in AJAX requests were omitted in 3.0.1 or below (probably due to a time constraint to release IPB 3.) So then when they had time with 3.0.2 they verified the secure hash. The problem being, none of those apps knew that. So they didn't send the secure hash thus giving "nopermission" on (AJAX reply, Emoticon pop up, and Shoutbox).

    The main shoutbox guy (Terabyte) was asleep in Italy, so Brandon D stepped up and released a patch which I uploaded from a 56k internet connection on the road about 15 hours after the release of 3.0.2. I then sent in a ticket via email to IPB to fix the Emoticon pop up. I then disabled quick reply, since a patch has not yet been made. As for 'Twam, he fixed all the ACP problems that didn't require FTP. Kudos to him :)

    Now were at this current time. I fixed all those random bugs, and working to get quick reply updated.

    I was going to give out my pre-ordered copy of Halo 3: ODST for the problems, but whoever gets it might be from England so I'll work on something to just order a fresh copy for them due to NTSC and PAL.


    Sorry for the problems.

    I pre-ordered Halo 3: ODST. I was going to give it to some random guy, but then I realized PAL and NTSC differences so I'm thinking of an alternative.

    ODST might be region free, although then it would be too late to find out. Also, why would you give up your copy for IPB's mess up?
