    Default Upgrading 3.2 to 5.1??

    It's been a while since we've done any work to www.outdoororegon.com

    We've done some pretty in-depth mods to 3.2 version...and wondered if this can be upgraded easily to the latest version and if there is anything written, addressing upgrades.

    nothing officially written unless you want to consider the line or two in the readme file and the one page wiki at http://www.indexuguide.com/UpgradefromINDEXU32 as covering the subject. There have been a few posts but nothing definitive.

    dody has stated and I would agree that if you want to upgrade it is basically a "start all over" situation. Clean out the old and install the new. Then maybe add back in any MODs that you really need.

    So, now you ask yourself do I really want to do that? And only you can answer that.

    This problem that has been around for as long a links directory software has been around. Anytime there is a major upgrade, those with heavily modded sites are faced with that dilemma: keep my MODs and forego the improvements or go for the improvements and either forego the MODs or re-install them.

    Once big change that you should be aware of is the change in the URLs that the Search Engines see from v3.2 to v5.x. But I think there is a MOD that allows you to run the old-style v3.2 URLs on v5.x

    Now that most of the bugs are out of v5.x (it has been about 6 months since its release), v5.1 has some very nice features. So, unless your have really done a lot of modifications to v3.2, I would certainly consider v5.1
