Not everyone rips you off Paul, but a significant minority do.

You only have to look at the number of threads about this, or the number of people with comments in their sig about "never pay anyone til they've done the work".

There's clearly a hardcore of dodgy people who are sullying the name of genuine types such as yourself.

You should have evaluated this before upgrading.

I *haven't* upgraded!

I've got a test board running, on which I ran the upgrade and am now gradually trying to get as many hacks as I can ported across, with a *view* to upgrading the live site.

But as yet this is some way off, and only because of silly minor things, like smilies in quick reply. Major stuff like arcades and the like are all done, bar a few minor tweaks I can do myself.

But as yet my live site remains firmly on 3.0.X because I cannot justify the upgrade at present.

I am becoming tempted to leave it until vB4 eventually comes along.
