I have been using vBulletin for a few short months now after upgrading from a phpBB variant. It was the best decision I have ever made for my site. At that time, I installed the latest version, being 3.6.5. With the release of 3.6.7, It will be my first attempt at a version upgrade. While the instructions in the release package are clear and I am confident I can handle the core upgrade, there appears to be little consideration given for mods.
As I have installed over 40 modifications (most culled from the mighty archives of vbulletion.org) and 5 custom styles beyond the default, I am concerned about the steps required after the core upgrade.
- Will I have to re-install every modification from scratch?
- If I have a custom style, will it adopt the templates from the new version of the default style? I did not set them up as child styles, though I think the only differences may be background and text selections.
- Will I have to make every manual style modification again?
- Can I safely assume that most modifications will be compatible with 3.6.7?
