Change from 3.7.4. PL1 to 3.8 (when final)

[tlwwolfseye]

Since i am relativily new to vB and started with 3.7.x I would like to ask how i should proceed when 3.8 is final. Do I have to immediately switch to 3.8, risking that some of my mods probably won?t work for 3.8 and mess up a lot in my forum, incl. Skins I use, or can I wait and see for initiate Bugs in the Final to be solved and then switch to it slowly.

From my experiences with other Forum Softwares it clearly shows that its often not recommendable to switch to a new Version quickly, even if its final, because it often still contains a lot bugs and these better been worked out before switching. Also Skins / Mods Development usually takes some time to adapt, if those are continously been supported, to the new Version.

I really love vB since I got it, and like i said, i?ve been through a lot of Forum Softwares over the last couple of years, and though some of them were very nice, vB is definately the best i?ve had yet. And I don?t want to make something wrong because I don?t know what I am doing.

I?d appreciate any tips. Thank you and a happy new year 2009 to you all.
