Checking for Updated Templates

Quote:

When a new version of vBulletin is released, it is common for some of the default templates to have been updated to accommodate new features or fix bugs.

If you have not customized any of your templates, this need not concern you, but if you have customized some of the default templates there are a few steps you will need to follow after you have finished running all the appropriate upgrade scripts.

Note:

Any templates that you have not customized will automatically be updated to use the newest versions.

However, any templates that you have customized will not be altered or overwritten by importing the latest style, hence the need for the following steps.

Upgrading, may affect some modifications. It is best to try things out on a test board which has the same modifications installed e.t.c. as your live forum.

If you are using a customised skin you need to contact the author of the style and seek assistance from them.

The normal skin is the default vBulletin one that you have when you first install vBulletin. Any other skin is a customised skin.
