I'm currently running vB3.01 (yeah I know it's old :P) and want to upgrade to the latest version. I have plenty of mods installed (50+) and I realise that most of these won't work after I've performed the upgrade.

As most ofthe current mods won't work, doesn't it make sense to completely re-install vB as they'll be loads of other php files that contain code modification and would probably cause problems / slow the website down (a problem I'm already experiencing).

If that's the case, what would be the easiest way to do a re-installation? Would I install a brand new copy and then import the threads / posts or is there a simpler way?

Just RE-UP a 3.5.4 Forum and set the MYSQL To the one you previously used?

Its worked for me before but im not sure for you, Since its a larger move.

That's probably the simplest way.

You could do as suggested above and upload all the fresh 3.5.4 files, point them at your existing database and then go through the upgrade procedure - but there are a lot of steps from 3.0.1 to 3.5.4 - you have to go through every intermediate version (inc beta's & RC's).

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