Hey,

I have just upgraded from 3.6.0 to the latest 3.7 version and I wanted to know what templates have changed and is there anywhere to find what new features have been added?

I have a custom style with a lot of changes, I think I will have to do a lot of template edits!

You can view the style here (Http://www.DeuceAce.com).

I would love to take advantage of the new features that have been added :)

Also, I saw someone mention reverting the templates, what exactly does this do?
Should I do it for all templates that haven't been edit by myself (All templates that are custom from the default templates are in organge, aren't there?)

I reverted the profile page, quick and easy way to change them :)
I just don't know how I should be doing the others.

Thanks

To find out all the new features since 3.6.0 you would have to read all the relevant new version announcement in the Announcements forum.

'Reverting' means that you restore the templates to the latest version rather than continue to run the older versions. This is sometimes a necessary step in moving forward with new versions and is defintely required in your case.

Thanks for the reply.

So can templates that have been customised be reverted or will this remove the custom coding?

Thanks again

You will have to manually revert your custom templates then redo your changes.

Hey

Will reverting take the templates back the default style code?

Meaning everything will have to be completely recoded in custom templates, for example forumhome, postbit etc.

Yes, that is what reverting does.
