But the time has come where I think I may take that MAJOR leap. I think I want to upgrade my vBulletin 2.x to the new 3.x version of vBulletin .

I have a fairly large database (maybe 400 megs or so).

- How hard is to upgrade?
- What issues may I encounter?
- Will I hate myself in the morning?

Please help.

You can always do a test upgrade from a db backup just to make sure it will upgrade correctly. Some issues you may encouter are if you have hacks installed that majorly change your database layout but those most likely can be fixed. It's not hard to upgrade I've upgraded several vBulletin boards from vB2 to vB3 since it has come out for friends and myself (most of them not that large though.) and you shouldn't hate yourself in the morning as vB3 is the FUTURE.
