Hello Team,

I want to run VBulletin forum with version 4.2.1 , In future vbulletin may launch 4.2.2 or 4.3.0 .

is it mandatory for me to install those updates ? if i don't install what may happen ? hacking etc ?

I heard that installing updates may mess the site theme etc.

any suggestions ?

It isn't mandatory to install the updates, but it is suggested to do so. Not all styles will break during an upgrade. It is suggested to set up a set site so that you may do a test upgrade and see if your style, or any modifications, are broken during the upgrade.

If it's a security upgrade then yes do it.If its simply a bug fix update,then don't bother as the expense will land with you as with all major updates of vb4 have been..The first thing to break will be the theme..

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