    This monday i have upgraded the forum to VB4 with a custom style. Have a look if you would (http://www.webcosmoforums.com/). Feel free to shoot comments.

    Few suggestions if are doing an upgrade to vb4 from previous versions of vb:
    - If you use vbseo make sure to have the new version made for vb 4 downloaded.
    - Download your custom style from your local machine, if any.
    - Get copy of all your existing mods. This would be needed in case the upgrade fails.
    - Most mods you been using with previous versions of vbulletin(before 4) wont work with vb4. Get similar mods for vb4(from vbulletin.org or wherever you can get from).
    - Disable forum.
    - Backup database and files. You can use them to restore your forum in case upgrade fails.
    - Disable all mods. All mods can be disabled using the config file, check upgrade instructions.
    - If upgrade was ok, upload your custom style if any. Make your new style default from settings > options.
    - Add new mods for vbulletin 4
    - Check everything and make it live.

    Good work, everything looks perfect.
    But I don't like red color in your current default theme.

    Very impressive! Im a member there hehe. Good nice looking forum. Better way to explain before upgrading to vB4. Make a backup of all files/folders and download a db backup. :p
