    Is it essential to upgrade to the 4.x versions of phpLD? I'm pondering if it is worth the revamp to upgrade to a newer version or to stay with 3.x.

    Checkout their website for the new version features. Some features like adding new fields etc., wont come with older version. So, if you are going to use those features upgrade or else be happy with where you are. Remember upgrading PHPLD will result in breaking your theme. You gotta upgrade your theme or find a new theme that supports 4.x

    Hope this helps.

    Which 3 do you use because 3.4 is excellent. I recently sold a PR3 site running 3.4 the site got regular paid listings. The new owner changed it to 4.1 and as far as I can see he has had 2 paid listings in 3 months, I was getting 20+ per month.

    So there is more to think about than upgrading. I personally prefer 3.4 to 4.1

    It's not necessary to upgrade to 4.x I have a directory using 3.3 and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon :)

    Definitely there are a lot of people who modded their 3.x phpLD and are happy with their sites. In those cases, I don't believe there is a need to upgrade. Also, it is a testament to the good coding that you don't have to upgrade for security reasons, because years later they are still solid and there are tons of 3.x sites online.

    I was wondering about the security aspect. Not running phpLD but thought I'd give credit where it's due - needing to upgrade for security reasons seems to be the norm these days. It's refreshing to hear of someone who is putting clean, secure code out there that doesn't need constant updating.
