Total Fatal over 0.97 install

If you follow the instructions, you will not end up with errors, new features or not

I do follow the instructions but the same with SMF upgrades, sometimes it's not worth upgrading until there's new features. Many users don't like upgrading 30 mods or themes as well as 1.1 or 1.1rc3 etc.

Thats the hard part when you have other mods installed, thats why we always say that TP should be installed first as it's the biggest MOD for SMF and effects a lot of files. Then after that install the other smaller mods that are easier to manually add as they often have a lot less code to add.

But your error seem to be more of a theme error, YOu must ALWAYS install from the Default SMF core theme, thats where the mods searches for things, and with other themes set as default, the mods will not find the files they need

I just uninstalled the old one and replaced with the new one. I think in future I will only upgrade when there's actually new features. It would be easier.

This may not be a wise decision if there are updates for security reasons. You may get your forum hacked if some exploit comes out in TP or SMF.

These people I know who donb't upgrade say they never recieve problems and can fix the issues themselves.

That may be the case, but if they don't know about the issues then they can't fix them. I guarantee that the hackers know about the exploits before they will. All I'm saying is that its best practice to stay up to date.

not only the hackers but also the spammers.... see botmaster.net - even human verifcation is disabled with this rubbish software... anyway - this doesn't belong to the thread starters info so i'll be quiet now
