How do i upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6 ? What do i need and how do i go about it?

Will i lose the Styles and mods i've added in?

http://www.vBulletin.com/docs/html/ has upgrade instructions.

Basically

* backup sql and files

* download vb 3.6.5 .zip and unpack it.
* rename config.php.new to config.php
* edit config.php to point to the database and table prefix, etc

* upload the 3.6.5 files to your server, overwriting all the files already there (don't skip or resume)

* point browser to www.yoursite.com/forumdir/install/install.php
* follow on screen instructions until you're 100% done, and back into the admincp again.

* delete the install/ directory

* test the forum and set up the new features and options

What about:

Will i lose the Styles and mods i've added in?

Well, will we?

You will not loose them, but we can not guarantee that they will work without an update.
