hello all..

i'm currently running on 3.0.7, as i have been for some time.. i have a LOT (30-ish?) of hacks and mods installed on my forum, along with 3 styles, and vBPortal.

i've been meaning/wanting to upgrade to .8 and .9, but my question is, how do i even think about doing this with all the hacks i have installed?? to those of you with a lot of hacks - how do YOU handle your upgrades??

i guess the whole process just seems a little overwhelming to me right now, and i'm wondering if there's an easier way that i'm missing....

thanks.

I don't know but I put security above "hacks" any time.

3.0.7 has exploitable bugs in it and therefore warrant the upgrade to 3.0.9.

If going to 3.0.9 just follow the instructions for the hacks again to do the file edits. Database and template changes don't need to be re-applied.

If going to 3.5.0 then most hacks are now plug-ins so you just import them and jobs a gud-un. Of course there are stiull some that you have to the manual way.

There a guide in the tips and tricks forum to upgrading a hacked board. If you use a tool like beyond compare, it makes life alot easier. One thing you should start doing is noting down which files you hacked, this way you can just compare them.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
