Hi I run an intranet on my ship, US Navy, using DNN 3.0.13.  I set it up in July 2005 and since then have modified it to work for my command's needs.  However Im finding some problems I think may have been corrected in the later updates.

So a few questions I have are, if I update to 3.2.2, will all the modifications ive made be lost - set to the defaults of 3.2.2?  and is there a way I can keep the content, including non core modules such as DNN Portal Download and its files onto DNN 4.0?

Aside from that, moreover theres a couple issues im consirned with if I choose not to update at all.  Is there a way I can fix the Forgot password script?  Right now it sends and email with the password, only its still encripted to *'s.

And Id like to be able to change the default user registration email notifications and other emails that are sent out including being added to a user role and such, where can I make these changes?

You should be fine in this upgrade, although we ALWAYS recommend making backups of both your DB and your webroot before starting.  The key thing to observe in this upgrade is that there have been a number of changes made to the web.config... you'll need to reconcile those.  And don't lose your EncryptionKeys! *grin*

Core modules should all be fine.  We worked VERY hard ( I should say some other folks did *grin* ) to ensure that v3.x modules were binary compatible to run on 4.x.  Your other modules SHOULD be... but you'll need to contact the author to be certain.

I know that was fixed a few versions ago, but not entirely sure where... you'd have to diff the code and see if you can find it ( unless someone else chimes in ).

This one's been answered in some other locations... but essentially its a function of Language Editing... just look for the keys with "_EMAIL" in them on the page... you'll find them all.
