I'm waitin' for 'Infinity" )) especially after I read recently that BB pulled the download from its site because of the 'bugs' - ironically, that same day I received an unsolicited pkg from BB w/7.81 disks. I laughed so hard I was cryin'....even if it has now been 'blessed' as ok - I won't touch it because of the many customizations we have here...

to NOT upgrade

We experienced 2 ugly (crippling) bugs and 1 annoying (duh, what?) bug. Pulled the plug (so we haven't encountered any more or what others have reported) and we are sticking with 7.7.

BB has open cases on the 3 issues:

Membership cards print status does not change to "printed" after cards are printed. Also, manual change to this field does not "stick".

Constituent appeal imports (based on Import ID or Constituent ID) get hung up searching for duplcate!?! records. Records identified has having possible duplicates are tossed from the import as exceptions.

Constituent ID field blank in Gift of membership - this is the duh, what? one.

I'm not even going to start to vent here about how much staff time was wasted....

Can't imagine why we would go to 7.8 any time soon.
