Updates are released for a reason, most of which is because the bugs they found were not originally found during their tests and members brought them up (for the most part). Some members are very into upgrading, although for minor changes, it is not a big issue to upgrade. vBulletin released these bug fixes and updates in order to fix what found in error.
Not really a big deal to upgrade for most, but if you have hacks installed, it could be a pain (unless like here, you only have 4-5 installed, most all of which are admin side with the exception of the installation and Portal hacks).
Yes I know they are, but it was a little quick between 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 this time. What I liked about vB was version weren't released ALL the time so we wouldn't have to upgrade week after week. But it doesn't matter.
Yep, lots of mods on my forum so 3.0 will be our next upgrade.
im sitting on 2.2.7 right know, dont know if i will go to 2.2.8 as it has more cookie and DB changes and they where hell to upgrade with beyound compare when i went from 2.2.6 -> 2.2.7
