I've given my responses in bold below.

2) Have the stylesheets in version 7 all changed as radically as this UBB.Threads community forum has? To be honest, I don't like the new look and I'm pretty sure that my bosses won't either. I don't want to upgrade if it's going to radically change the basic look and feel of the forums. The Side boxes can be turned off via the Control Panel. You can stick with a strictly message board with the header and footer.

3) How long does an upgrade typically take? That depends on the number of members and posts that your forums have

Thanks so much,
