Default Upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.6.x
Hi,

I currently have a forum here that is running on 3.5.4 .

I was wondering firstly, if the skin that I made for the current version would still work on 3.6 and also, how difficult it would be to upgrade all the template modifications and plugins that I have installed on this version.

Is there any idea as for when vBulletin 4 (or at least 3.7) will come out - I would rather wait as long as possible before I upgrade!

Many Thanks.

Yes & No. You could probably migrate all your colors, etc over easily, but if you have template modifications for anything, chances are, they wont work. Your best bet always when upgrading like this is to use the default style and change it around to match your old style. Takes time, but doiable. Thats how I do it anyways.

Like I said, doiable just time consuming. You would have to research on here to see even if the hacks you have installed have an upgrade to the 3.6 version, then kinda evaluate from there.



Dunno the due data on the next VB...I think its a fine time to upgrade myself. Lotsa good mods already out there. You'd have to wait even longer to upgrade and then wait for more mods for the next version.

Thank you very much - I will wait until I know I have a few spare days, then I will try and upgrade!
