How much are you offering for this?

It is necessary to be very careful when updating from a very old version to the latest version. Extensions and styles may also need to be updated. However, if that extension does not work in the current version and is required for your forum, an alternative must be found or created. The same goes for style. So of course, I don't think it's a $10 job. :)

^^^ So true. I'm currently working on a phpBB 2.x migration and the site is riddled with exploits because they didn't update the 2.x versions when security issues were announced way back then. Throw in their using image gallery software that was EOL in the mid-2000s, and it's requiring a custom importer.

Putting off updates sets up much more pain the in the future.

Sorry for not being more exacting on what I'm offering.
I wasn't sure what the upgrade usually costs, dollars wise and time-wise also.

I think the main idea is, I'm willing to pay someone to update my site if possible.
I know @madalin10 does this type work due to just seeing their posts on other topics.. wasn't sure if anyone else did.
What costs were etc.

Appreciate all of the responses I've gotten so far!
