Upgrading from 3.8.1 to latest 3.8.x version

[Jon12345]

I want to update my forum but I am concerned over how it might affect my mods and customisations.

Does a change from 3.8.1 to 3.8.5 (if that is the latest) mean it could affect my templates etc? How do I know what it will affect?

Thanks,

Jon

3.8.6 PL1 is the latest version.

The only way to know what's changed, is to read the release announcements.

vb3.8.2 - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...3.8.2-Released - 3/31/09
vb3.8.3 - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...3.8.3-Released - 6/12/09
vb3.8.4 - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...3.8.4-Released - 8/12/09
vb3.8.5 - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-Now-Available! - 3/12/10
vb3.8.6 - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-Now-Available - 7/14/10

Downloading the full 3.8.6 PL1 package includes this fix: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ease-3.8.6-PL1 - 7/22/10

Overall, I don't recall anything major breaking. Depending on the complexity of your site, it just depends on what mods you've made.

Good luck.

Probably not but

It may and usually does effect templates mods and more thats why mods are listed by version of vb also your templates too,now for a small jump like yours i would say probably wont effect cause you at 3.8 already so more than likely all will work.
