The main reason why I would say to upgrade immediatly to the latest stable 7.97 release is for security reasons.

Also you will have features like, more security, file and image uploading, faster performance, etc.

There is a tool on the download page to convert 6.x databases to 7.x databases.

Version 8 will be released soon, which will require version 7.x to upgrade from, and will include things like Calendars.

I'm using v6.34 on a non-profit site and we're considering upgrading to whatever the current stable release is.

A couple questions:

1. Are there enough different features to warrant an upgrade?

2. How hard is it to upgrade without losing any user information, moderators, posts, etc.?

3. Does the latest stable release support uploading files to a files area where other users can go and download the files?

I have another user who wants a discussion setup similar to what is used on YahooGroups - where they can post messages, see calendar entries, and leave files to share with each other. Is there a version of WWF that supports all this?
