**WARNING**

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE AND/OR TEMPLATES before ever upgrading a skin.
Applying any skin patch or upgrade WILL OVERWRITE your existing templates.

Most commonly edited templates that will be reverted are 'header', 'footer', 'navbar', 'forumhome', etc. If you have made any customizations to these or other templates via ACP, it is advised you do either of the following:

1) Upload the patch as a new template (Create a new name prior to XML import), and copy over your customizations manually between the two. Delete older template once complete.

2) Copy all customized templates to Notepad, etc. merge your changes carefully after updating.
