then learn how to hack your own site or get the hackers to give you documentation on how to upgrade.

I took the decision not to use hacks although boy could do do with some. However, the main benefit is that whenever vB update I get the sweetest upgrade from the vB installer. Works a treat!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know. I downloaded and installed 3.0.5 with no problems at all. When I tried to install 3.0.6, it failed completely. Ended up having to restore my site from a backup. It has something to do with my integrated FlashChat but I'm not sure what. Flashchat was also installed when I did the 3.0.5 upgrade so I'm not sure what happened this time.

Okay folks...maybe when I uploaded the 3.0.6 files I got a bad upload or something. I uploaded everything again and this time it worked just fine. Sorry about the false alarm.

I assume you are being ironic but for some of us the hacks are what makes vBulletin interesting in the first place.

Now, I can live with upgrades as long as a quick patch alleviates the immediate problems but the last upgrade took me a whopping 6 hours... :disappointed:

I love hacks however the site owner should be picky on which hack to use. Those that go overboard with unnecessary hacks have a hard time during upgrades, especially during patching time like these. I use 1 big hack and 2 simplier ones. Makes upgrades and troubleshooting easier to deal with. Now if I can only assume we'll stop at 3.06 I'll upgrade 3.03 lol.

Upgrading does not take that long if you use the right tools - I upgraded our site from 3.0.3 to 3.0.5, and then 3.0.6, both times took about 90 minutes - including all our hacks (we have something like 20 in total). Also, if you plan it correctly the downtime is very little - for both our upgrades the site was only off for about 10 - 15 minutes.

I think proper documentation of your 'hacking' history would be your best bet to problem free and less time consuming upgrades :)
