Since the version number is in the index.php file not the config, methinks you didn't copy all the files over correctly. No, you never delete config.php.

First, are you sure you updated all the plugins and that you're using the ones bundled with Vanilla?

Second, have you filed an issue report so we can see what you're talking about?

sahotataran

Hello Lincoln. I had downloaded the bundle 2.0.18 as such.
yes i did file it http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/17645/uncaught-syntax-error-unrecognized-expression-nameuseremail-in-entry.js#Item_7 and Todd said its some bug hes aware of and will come up with fix soon.

Lincoln

@sahotataran I understood that to be a minor bug that wasn't stopping the connect options from working. The fix is already prepared, we were just waiting to see if other bugs are reported before we do a patch release.

sahotataran

thanks Lincoln. I am actually praying that u guys release it soon. we will be opening our forum anytime next week so i wish it starts working before our release.
Thanks again

still happens :(

Todd

@bartoruiz, it looks like that fix didn't make it into 2.0.18. I cherry picked it over to the 2.0.18 branch it will make it into a service release shortly.
