Upgrading vB 3.5.1 to 3.5.3

[amkge]

Hi guys,

I want to upgrade the board to the newest version of vB but im worried that ill lose all the changes that ive made to the site ?

What exactly will change when I switch up ? will i have to redo all the mods and hack and reupload the plugins and products or just redo the template changes ?

is it best to just upload the patches ? overgrow.com is one of the biggest grow sites and i beleive there running some old school vB which has been patched up over the years ?

Thanks for your help guys

All the changes are at
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1046368

I keep detailed instructions of what mods, hacks and products I have.
I note which scripts and templates need to be edited.
I keep local copies and urls where I found the mods.

I backup my scripts.
Close the forum. Backup the database.
I normally overwrite the patched files immediately and when I have time upgrade. That is normally within a few days.

When I am ready to upgrade.
Check to see that I have all of the latest versions of my mods.
My upgrade process is to edit all of my scripts, then upload them at once rather than reinstall each one. I revert the templates necessary and edit them.

With products that require no file edits, it is painless.

I've just upgrade my forum from 3.5.0 to 3.5.3 and now I can't seem to log out. Any ideas why? Thanks
