Merged K 1.7 -> K 2.0.3 upgrade and now forum contents are "gone"

sozzled wrote: See Kunena 2.0.3 known issues .

This issue was reported at least two weeks ago and still no official mention of it besides the forum. Nothing on the download page, nothing on the 2.0.3 readme page. Finding this out afterwards really sucks. Two weeks is plenty of time to get a warning message posted on the download page that upgrading from 1.7 to 2.0.3 breaks your forum.

In the future you need to consider doing everyone a favor and listing huge bugs and errors like this on the download page.

Thank you for your input, prophoto. The issue only affects people who are upgrading from K 1.x to K 2.0.3. There is no issue if you are upgrading from K 2.0.0 (which was released nearly 6 months ago), K 2.0.1 (released less than 2 weeks later), K 2.0.2 (released over 3 months ago) to K 2.0.3.

We are doing our best to keep Kunena regularly updated. If people choose to use versions of software that are more than 6 months out of date, that is (unfortunately for all of us) entirely their decision. Would you believe that some people are still downloading and (we assume installing) K 1.0.8! Well, we cannot control other people's behaviour, can we?

As much as this seems to be an issue for people upgrading from K 1.x to K 2.0.3 (and we regret the inconvenience this has caused people) we are attending to the problem.

The download page and/or the release notes are perhaps not always the best places to refer to these matters that you've raised (although I agree that you have made a good point) The basic problem is that people simply do not spend enough time reading the background material (e.g. K 2.0 Upgrade Guide - see the very first sentence of that article). People do not read the release notes beforehand. People go to the download page and install everything they can lay their hands on without knowing what those things do or how to properly install them. That's what the forum is here for: to provide up-to-date fast-changing information about the current state-of-play.

Yes, I agree, two weeks seems to be an uncomfortably long time to rectify this issue and, unfortunately, having to wait until the release of K 2.0.4 (which will fix this issue) is also going to be uncomfortable for some. In the meantime, we have this topic: Kunena 2.0.3 known issues which should give some comfort.

Every day we spend hours trying to help people, trying to give the best advice we can. Please remember that we're human and, no matter how hard we try, we can't please everyone all the time, past, present or future.
