What did not show?
Before the down grade did you have the Navigation Tabs in place to view the the programs / products?

yeah, I'm on 4.2 and I can tell you that dbtech products (all that i have installed) are working and I didn't really notice any change because i had my navtabs set up and when I re enabled the product all my links were there again!

I'm sure you are only missing the links in the navbar which you have to manually set now with the Nav Manager (new to 4.2)

Yeah, If you originally set up all your default and products with vBNavTabs before the upgrade from what I experienced I could see all them being there after the upgrade.

We haven't officially tested/updated our mods for v4.2 yet, it's something we plan to do over the coming weeks though.

You haven't officially tested?? You didn't have anyone beta testing vb 4.2? Possibly your plan of action should have occured in previous weeks rather than the coming weeks..

I never said we didn't have anyone testing vB 4.2, I said we haven't officially tested our mods yet. There's a massive difference between team members beta testing 4.2 and the team doing an official test & update of the mods for a gold version.

In an ideal world we would have infinite time and be able to drop everything to make changes during the beta, then hope nothing changes between beta and gold, and then re-do changes if it does and just write off all that wasted time. Sadly it's not an ideal world and we don't have infinite time, so we have to use it in the most prudent way possible. That means waiting until the version is gold and we can be reasonably secure that no more changes will be happening before we begin making edits to our 30+ mods

I appreciate the 30+ mods updates that may have to be done.But I'm not talking updating mods! I'm talking being in a position were you can state too customers the modifications are totally compatible or still working with the current vb release.Surely as a company that creates mods for vb, having the answers not speculation is paramount.

I'll ask the question? Do you know out of the 30+ mods what is still working with the current vb release?

I never said we didn't have anyone testing vB 4.2

I never stated you had anyone testing vb 4.2,I asked the question?

That is not an official announcement from DBT, this is just my observation of what people have experienced throughout the last week.

It shouldn't be a case of just reading the forums Brad.Your part of the team,you are a company.Obviously you don't have a communial test board that you can check if your mods still work..Which to be honest amazes me.As a company you shouldn't be in a position were your having to read the forums for your answers.You should be in a position were you have the answers.The word "Team" seems to be amiss at the moment.and using vb updates as an excuse which will come, also shouldn't be playing apart.
