Yes... on the old forums I'd made quite a lot of personalised and custom hacks over the many years I was using SMF1.
Unfortunately what I didnt realise at the time is many custom hacks can stop SMF upgrades working properly.
For example if theres a security update to perform, SMF will check your existing template (theres lots of them) and if the code on your template doesnt exactly match the template which is going to be updated then the upgrade will fail and it has to be done manually.
Early this year I found myself in the situation that practically when ever there was a security patch to be done I had to look through reams of code and edit everything by hand, sometimes this could take hours as even though Id made some notes... I couldnt properly remember what Id done years ago.
The huge amount of custom mods and hacks I had meant that I couldnt even carry out the normal upgrade from SMF1 to SMF2... and its why I had to scrap the whole forum and start afresh and something which took weeks to do and meant quite a lot of downtime when compared to an automated upgrade.
With this install, Im going to keep it at 'clean' as possible and only install mods that can be installed/uninstalled via the package manager. (Custom skins are different to actually editing the templates). I thought I was so clever doint all the edits I did on the old forum... little realising that I was storing up a pile of problems years down the line. I learnt a harsh lesson that way and its not one I intend to repeat
