3.5.4 to 3.6.0 questions - never updated

[mtcarpenter]

I bought my license for vbulletin on the day 3.5.4 came out and that's the one I have installed. I currently have the original skin, and 2 other skins installed that are made for 3.5.4

I also have a dozen hacks installed....

If i upgrade will it ruin everything? I remember tried to install 3.5.0 skins on my 3.5.4 board and it gave me errors in my browser, and the forum itself had errors

would it be smarter for me to just keep 3.5.4? I've never upgraded, so I'm not positive in what i'm doing.

Smarter? No, as the lastest versions have a higher security rating.

You should at least upgrade to 3.5.5.

i just don't want to upgrade, and then once i do none of my current installations will be running properly

What about when version 4, or 5 comes out?

Generally speaking, you just need to re-apply the changes.
