Please DO NOT tell me to upgrade, I cannot, (please read for more ;-)

I agree with performing an upgrade by the book, but don't to tell us that it only takes a one or 2 hours. Some of us here have a full time job and run a cart on the side.

During the past 5 years (started with Zen in 2008), I have done 3 upgrades and it takes several hours over multiple days to upgrade, especially when you don't do it very often and have to double check everything to make sure your store works as expected.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you.

Thank you.you need to read my post again. I said the Zen Cart upgrade part only takes one to two hours. That includes JUST the Zen Cart upgrade portion. (the bulleted steps I listed) EVERYTHING after those initial steps needed to FINISH an upgrade (customizations, add-ons, etc) may indeed take a few days..

And for the record.. quite a FEW of us have day jobs too..

Well, I've rewritten my reply to this thread three times...but whatever I type just doesn't sound right....as someone who has done hundreds of Zen Cart updates in the past couple of years all I can really say is that it was an interesting read
