I notice that bulletin.org is showing 3.6.12 on their pages.

My question regarding upgrading from an earlier version of vBulletin, namely 3.6.8 is do I have to upgrade all the way through to 4.XX or can I stop at 3.8.7 with the upgrade process to preserve the original templates.

I've added things over the years and the more I look at what is involved the more I shy away from doing anything!

So ignoring the improvements to user interface in vB4, can vB3 be made as secure without all the major upheaval of moving from vB3 to vB4?

It's not like vb3 will leave you less secure.

As long as you are running the latest version of vb3

I am running the latest vBulletin v3.8.7 which has all the security patches

So if you want vb4, install 4.11.1 Patch level 1. If you want vb3, install v3.8.7. as simple as that
