I have a lot of respect for Ozzy but staying on a version like 3.7 with known security exploits is bad advice, from anyone. You might not need to upgrade from VB 3.x to 4.x or 5.x but you must definitely be running the latest 3.x version to be safe since it is the only one (well 3.8.7 and 3.8.8 beta) patched against all know exploits.
Odd that none of the top ten sites running vBulletin have these issues. Odd that vBulletin dot org doesn't have these issues. It's a myth. But I DO recommend the latest version of vB 3 and always have. I sort of confused where you were getting from that article, that people shouldn't upgrade to version 3's highest tier. Of course they should, but no further IMO.

If I could just fix this I'll be happy but I really think I should upgrade to at least 3.8 but I'm not computer code savvy and have no idea on how to do this...
This sounds more like having to do with your host, not your software.
I DO recommend upgrading to version 3.8.7 however, but no "higher" until 3.8.8 is released.
