I have read that you should disable any mod. Does that mean you have to disable the plugin system before updating to a new vbulletin version?

From reading the manual I would go this route:

1. Shutdown forum.
2. Upload all files while replacing existing files.
3. Edit updated templates.
4. Edit updated phrases.
5. Test your new forum, especially if all mods still work.
6. Turn on forum.

But the manual does not say anything about installed mods, only customized templates and phrases are mentionened.
