Paul is the only one working on the update. It takes a lot with the custom modifications / styles to make it 'perfect'.
That's why upgrading isn't cool.
I can't even imagine all the coding he has to reapply on some test board to make sure it's all going to switch over properly.

I use 3.7 cos it's the latest version, when you buy you have the option to download an earlier version if you wish.
I don't use the albums because I have photoplog, but there are quite a few features that are very useful 3.7 has that 3.6 doesn't have, even something that there are not mods for.
If you have a license and able to download the latest version, it's worth doing because everything in 3.6 is in 3.7, and you get more.
It doesn't have everything 3.6 has, it has a completely different User Interface or User Profile page.
You get more, yet you're getting features that are at vb.org. I looked through and Zoints does tags and social networking and blogs, there is also a journal hack and it's basically the same thing. The image resizing was here before it was on 3.7 and the photogallery was here as well.
So I must be missing the things that 3.7 has that 3.6 doesn't. 3.6 is also going to eventually be terminated so whether you like it or not, buying when you did made it a natural choice to choose 3.7 over 3.6, because it won't be terminated or whatever in a few months or whatever date they gave for "end of life for 3.6".

Different look maybe, but anything in 3.6 is in 3.7 none of the actual features have been dropped AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure 3.6 being terminated never crossed my mind when I came to download, so it wasn't something that affected my choice. 3.7 will also be terminated at some point in the future, most likely at the same time as 3.6 as they'll drop support for vbulletin 3 in general at the same time most likely (just as they did with v2).
And if you're counting the stuff at vb.org, you'll have to take into consideration the mods that are available for 3.7. Not only that but most mod development goes into the newest version, so there will be no doubt plenty more things 3.7 will have that 3.6 doesn't have.
What reason should anyone upgrade? To have the latest version with the latest security leak?
Yes please, I'd rather have a new security problem that fewer people know about than an old leak that has been exposed and abused for years. Wouldn't you?

If you want to trust some kid in middle school in his parents basement who could disappear any day then have fun. I'd rather have actual support and reliablity. btw are you still running windows 3.1?

Hey! I was that kid. LOL. Just not in the basement.

A neverending security problem makes continually purchasing something a bad investment. It actually promotes the use of free forum software rather than paying for something that is simply going to have more security leaks down the road.
I see you have a lot of faith in the vb coders here that made those modifications, thats a laugh.
