Deviation, are there instructions on how to upgrade from the 3.7 version?
There aren't too many updates from that version. There are no database changes. You should be able to update your board to 3.8.x and then apply the updates for vB.Sponsors. The link.php has changed so be sure to replace that as well. As always, backup your data first.

Well if you can get me more hours in the day, perhaps.
It is being worked on. I don't have an ETA as of yet though. As always, you can keep up with me on Twitter (@OneCoolMofo) or my website (http://digitaldeviation.com).
The vbulletin-styles.xml is a simple way to make the template changes. You import that in your admincp. Look under Styles & Templates --> Download/Upload Styles.
There are no txt files required for this. Only the files contained in the upload folder need to be uploaded to your server.
