[support] question about upgrading

[Katie Legere]

I suspect that there will be a complete redesign in another year so I'm going to use D7 for that - I'm in the excursion mode now to see how much harm that does. Perhaps we'll end up doing nothing until the redesign and starting more or less fresh.

This is a good learning opportunity though...

When upgrading it is best to do some clean up on the older site so that you aren't using things that are not supported on the new version. In other words you have to think about how the new site will work.

You should be looking at going to D7 which in your case requires a brief excursion through D6 if you go the upgrade path to conversion rather than the migrate path.

I have an older site in D5 that I am working on upgrading to D6. Unfortunately, some modules that were used in the old site no longer exist (addnode for example). What will happen when I upgrade without this module?
