This month has been a great month for TemplateMechanic and as a thank you to the community, we've been granted 5 free licenses to give away to the community in a sweepstake! This means you are chosen by luck.

To get a chance to get a free theme of your choice give us a shoutout on twitter on which theme you want the most or like the theme on FB.

Don't forget to follow @templatemech to show your love for this opportunity!

We will then pick 5 lucky persons to give away these 5 themes by January 2nd, 2012.

TemplateMechanic is a service provider by Teamwurkz and they have been a trusted custom design provider for phpFox clients since mid 2006. Teamwurkz have been one of our top providers ever since then!

We thank TemplateMechanic/Teamwurkz for this amazing generosity and wish them a prosperous 2012!

Thanks to a phpFox member, called SocialNetworker, we were notified that we had to have an app for sweepstakes. We have also added at the top that this is a sweepstake. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope you understand. Once again we thank you, SocialNetworker for bringing this to our attention.

For those who already liked a photo on FB or given us a shout out via Twitter from December 22nd to December 30th will be considered. Once again, we apologize for this and will make sure that the next sweepstake will be much better!
[End of edition]

With the recent release of v3 there has been an influx of upgrades to the new version and we are very excited to see the conversion rate from older phpFox communities. This influx has slowed our response times to both our support and install departments. Due to this we are allocating resources to improve response times in both areas effective immediately.

To assure the continued stability of the product we have updated v3.0.0 with a new build that includes some bug fixes for your community.

These fixes include...

Installing this Build

Visit your dashboard and click on one of your licenses. Then download "Download Latest Available Version (3.0.0)". Once you have downloaded the ZIP archive, unzip it on your computer and navigate into the folder "upload/". Only upload the files in that folder and not the folder itself to your sites root directory. Make sure that it overwrites your old files on the server.

Once that is done log into your AdminCP and clear your sites cache (Tools >> Maintenance >> Cache Manager).

To confirm you are on build 2, go to Tools >> System Overview. Look for Core Version. It should output 3.0.0(build 2).

Alternatively you can view the changelog for this build and manually upload each file, however we advice to upload the entire package to assure you have all the files correctly updated.

Note, there is no need to run the installer.
