Making a Bold Upgrade - Need Some Tips

I am making a long awaited upgrade from VB 3x to the 4.0.8 and I am upgrading my vbSEO to 3.5.2 along with the 3.0 Gold sitemap.

I'm sure all will go smooth as always, unless someone has any precautions as far as the vbSEO, but I am curious:

Are the Spam tools like Spam Decimator 1.5.2 and others that I currently use compatible with the new vb 4x and vbSEO goodies?

If not, are there upgrades for these spam tools?

Can anyone give me some advice because the Spam Decimator would be a biggie to do without and I need to clean out some MEGA spam before or after I do the upgrade.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The most of your current installed add-ons won't work once you have upgraded to vBulletin 4, mainly add-ons that uses templates and external own pages. Stuff like Spam Decimator won't work, so that you should ask at vBulletin.org (or try to find your plugins updated) for any upgrade you may need.

I recommend you newly released cloudflare special free protected dns level cdn hosting. It protects you from spammers. You get more data here: cloudflare.com I used it for some time i liked.
