I want to upgrade, but im scared something terrible might go wrong and I would have wished not to upgrade in teh first place.

Ive seen the upgrade manual, one of the ways of upgrading is to overwrite the 'forum' folder on my server. But one thing i dont understand is the templates. Since ive installed some mods, the templates have obviously been modified. How will these modifications merge into the new upgraded templates?

They won't merge. You'll either have to update your 3.5.4 template to be compatible with 3.6.0 or you'll have to download a new theme that's designed for 3.6.0.

If you're concerned about upgrading, the best thing to do is setup a Test Board and "test" upgrade. There's a tutorial on setting a Test Board up on your local PC or you could just duplicate your SQL DB and setup a new forum on your server.

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