Blah blah

Hi I'm running SMF 2.0 RC 1.2 and wondered if there was some way to patch the security of my site without having to update ALL the files and ruin my forum theme. Is this even possible?

Yeah, sure - you _can_ manually edit your current installation to include code changes in the current version. But I really wouldn't recommend that, because of the amount of work that would be.

But if you are only worried about a custom theme, then just make a backup of the theme and see if it works ok after the update :)
