Upgrading question

[ChrisBaktis]

I plan on upgrading from 3.0 to 3.06 this weekend. I have many custom templates that i dont want to lose. I have setup the ability to run vBulletin on another PC at the house..

Im going to download version 3.06 to the local pc host - any tips on bring my custom templates and what not from online to the local hose. Does backing up the database online save everything including templates and such?

the upgrade will not change your custom templates no matter what, except templates everything will be changed automatically when the process is done. under Style Manage in ACP there's an options notice you templates that need to be upgraded, you can manually change it by reading templates change in Vb.com announcement posted by Kier when there's an update.

Updating the templates for a vBulletin upgrade is the most annoying part for me, personally.. Try putting your custom template, and the 3.0.6 default template in to separate .txt files and run them through a comparison program such as Beyond Compare (http://www.scootersoftware.com).

nice hints, but I changed some templates completely so this doesn't work, the only thing I can count on is 'change notes' from Kier.
