    3.6.4 to 3.6.7 upgarde essential?

    Is 3.6.4 a stable version or it would be better to upgrade to 3.6.7?

    If I upgrade I would have to redo a lot of customization work. So if there are no major security threats to 3.6.4, I would prefer to continue with it.

    3.6.4 was a stable release, its best to stick with the most CURRENT stable verison though.

    There are security issues in 3.6.4, why do you think you'd lose alot of your customzation work?

      because the new files would overwrite the older files.

                    not the php files...just the template files.

                    the thing is I don't know how this vbulletin templates/style work and I will have to hire someone to do it for me if I upgrade.

                      There are no template files templates are stored in the database and remain viritually untouched during an upgrade.
