I agree with you to a certain point but if you look at any of the major scripts that have mod sites they mostly all tell you once you custom modify your script it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade to a developers next version.

This is the price you pay for upgrades and the Elite upgrade is something that Vshare truly needed as the script was still very primative compaired to others on the market and this upgrade brings it forward in align with many of the others.

We will try our best when Vshare 2.8 is released to upgrade also so the Elite brand also upgrades to Elite 2.8.

If you have done custom mods to your site then try to add the Elite upgrade of course you will lose your own mods as most files we have modified to make the flow better.

Its a case of the rock and a hard place but most small modifications you may of personally done can easily be added back in after the Elite upgrade.
