    Will 3.6.8 skin work with 3.7?

    Hi. I'm thinking about updating to 3.7. Will my skin still work?

    Sort of. There are new features in 3.7 that are not in 3.6 style system. Best you start fresh to make sure you don't remove any of the 3.7 features.

      Depends on how thorough is the style modified.
      It will semi-work, you'll have to revert a lot of templates.
      Especially, the custom profiles, they won't work if any of the profile templates are modified.

        I converted a 3.6.8 style to work on 3.7 - it was only 9 templates I had to edit, nothing major as long as you know what you are doing.

          Off the top of my head, you'll definitely need to revert the headinclude and memberinfo templates, and add a couple of definitions to your main CSS.

              most likely it won't work, you will need to update your skin if you have modified templates.

                  Like others said, it will work but you will need to revert quite a few templates. How many will need to be reverted will depend on how much you modified the templates. I'm currently using 3.6x style on 3.7.
