TP version 0.9.8?

[lurkalot]

Yup but for some strange reason (i've noticed that on our site as well) people seem to think TP 0.9 is/was a stable version and all seem to be afraid to update to TP 1.0 b(whatever) 

lol, that sounds exactly like me.

Thanks all for the replies, I never noticed that 0.9.8 was still beta.   Maybe to save confusion (mine especially  :embarrassed: )  The word beta should be dropped when each version gets to certain build.

I'll look at building a test site, and see if I can cobble everything together.

That was strange... my last reply doesn't have the text I typed.

I think you typed it into the quote you made...

People think that 0.98 is stable because the versions after it all say "Beta" even in the copyright. 0.98 does not.

 lurkalot, if you really need it I have a copy. But I am unsure whether the moderators here allow me to upload it.

William,

We really don't want to have versions of TinyPortal passed around that are not available for download here.  There are a few other reasons why Bloc removed it besides the fact that it's just plain too old but I don't care to elaborate on that.  Only a few of the TP Team even still have a TP 0.98 test site available to test things.  I, for one, no longer even have a TP 0.98 site.  As a matter of fact, when TP 1.0 beta 5 is finally released and someone asks a support question about TP 0.98, it is likely that our first response will be that it is no longer supported and that they should upgrade to beta 5.

If someone wants to continue to use TP 0.98 on their site that's fine but support for it will be hard to come by in the future, and from this point forward.

Thanks for the offer.  I'm sure I have it somewhere on one of my drives so that's not a problem.  My reason for starting the thread in the first place was to do with the word Beta.  And why the old version was dropped when the new version is still Beta.  This has now been answered further back in this thread.
