Yep as stated my upgrade to 6.5 was smooth and succesfull.. just wondering a couple things.... What files are safe to delete w/o messing up nuke.. like is it ok to delete the forum templates in /forum/templates folder? ect........

Congrats on the smooth upgrade. I upgraded a couple of weeks ago as a Club Member, and I unfortunately did not have much help, except for chatserv, who is great, as usual.

As for deleting your /modules/forums/templates/, you definitely cannot delete SubSilver, since this is the default for your admin panel. However, you can delete anything else, as long as you have a forum template in root/themes/<yourtemplate>/forums/.

Be advised that if you have any mods that you installed on old theme's forum template, they will be gone.
