    Hey,

    I am a pretty novice PN admin, who set up a 075 site about a year ago. I was thinking of upgrading to 076 and had a few questions:

    1. Do I need to upgrade? I know the site is running fine, but are there some cool features or blocks in 076 that makes upgrading a must?

    2. How complicated is the upgrade? I cannot seem to find any upgrade HowTo...if there is one can someone toss me a link for it?

    Thanks.

    it's easier to upgrade to 0.76 than to secure 0.75

    just follow the doc, it's very easy if you have not hacks or specials modules.
    make yours backups (files and database) before for more security and confort.
    It's easy, i have do it icon_wink

    1. To keep a secure PostNuke installation you must upgrade. Security patches will not be developed for out of date versions.

    2. Simply follow the instructions, as mentioned above.

    Backup first, of course.

    3rd party modules shouldn't make a difference, no.
