    So i just bought a license....

    Hey VB,

    I just brought a second hand license, now if i am right the maintenance pack will let me upgrade to 3.8x. Though i don't really want to spend another $50. So...

    What is better in 3.8 than 3.7, and i have 3.7.2 patch level 2. Is that good to run or should i stick with 3.7.0?

    Also do plugins and themes for 3.8 work with 3.7x?

    Thanks

    I'd go with the latest of w/e u want, either the latest 4.1.x or the latest 3.8.x.

        I didn't say that, I said I would go with the latest stable version of 3.8 or 4.x if those are your choices.
        I would not go with 3.7 or anything before that..

                You would have to upgrade to at least 3.8.5 or higher for security issues.

                  Ok so that's another $50 for the maintenance patch right?
