Doing first upgrade with hacks

I am running the Logican Webtemplates Hack, e-skeki referral hack, Menu Control Hack, v3arcade and vbadvanced cms.

I know in the vB upgrade instructions it says to revert certain templates, but I am not sure if I do this by hand of if it does it automatically and if I can do it by hand if I have to even though I have these hacks installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have always ran a stock vb board before and never done an upgrade with hacks so I just want to see if there is anything I should look out for.

Do da420 steps. However, if you have skins (paid or free ones) you will need to remodify them. If the author upgraded it to the lastest version, you'll need to do all the hacks template modification once again. You won't lose any hack you have install, just make sure they will work for 3.6.x above

I have upgraded my forum couple of time and nothing happen. Just template modification is the issue (unless there is none to revert). DO NOT REVERT SKIN!!!!
You will need to modify them ur self!!!
