well i always upgrade my board to the latest version but lately we have installed many hacks allowing the board to be more user friendly, now since the upgrade i have to reinstall a bunch of hacks alon with editing templates, is there anyway to backup all templates? i know it wouldnt work since with the upgrade many files and templates change so it wouldnt help.

i just want to have a discussions whats the easiest thing to do? thanks

First of all, a vBulletin upgrade does NOT overwrite customized templates, but it might be wise to revert to the "original" after upgrading and re-applying your changes, if necessary. Not all templates are different from previous versions...

Second, what helped me in the past is to keep change logs. Instead of re-applying every single hack by going through every single installation instruction, one at a time, I put all the changes into one large file, and sorted the changes based on the vBulletin files. That way I can apply all the changes for all the hacks to every single file at once, and then move on to the next file. I was able to install 8 or 9 hacks at once within half an hour

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
