    Download 3.1 and check the change log file. ( or read the forum thread)

    I updated my template from 3.05 to 3.1 and there were only 2 changes (i guess)

    Seems like u are using 2.1 so you would have to do few more :)

    Make a backup of the phpLD database you current have... then its simply a matter of uploading and overwriting all the new files from the new version and running the installer as you did when installing originally. All your links etc should still work however its obviously good to have that backup as previously mentioned. If your upgrading to phpLD3.x i recommend getting access to the phpLD support forum which cost $10. There are obvious changes between 2.x and 3.x and a few changes between the 3.x versions as well (especially the new 3.2.0 version).

    If your using version 2.x, most likely your template will not be 100% compatible with 3.1.

    Hey,

    If you want to wait 1-2 days, I'm making a custom unique one that I will be offering for free.

    I'll have it on my blog sometime soon.

    Cheers
