I've got a bunch of custom hacks with 3.0x installed and photopost... any tips for making a smooth transition to 3.54? Will the upgrade remove all the old hacks? If so I'd just like to use the plugins feature for 3.5 for new ones. Hopefully that will work..

Hey, I'm in the same boat.. 3.0.6 and upgrading to 3.5.4 in June about 12,500 members. When are you going to go for it? If it's before me please post your experience. My current plan is to rebuild the design on a test forum, then lock my prod forum and do an upgrade, then import my new design. At this point all my hacks will be gone so I'll just leave the site down while I get a few hacks re-installed, test it all out, then open the site. Then just tell my members we are open but are still finishing some upgrades. My only real fear is that the upgrade will bomb, however if this happens I can always revert to a backup which I plan to take beforehand..
