I want to take time here and to say this as I get alot of pm's about errors with skins and such. If your running on a old as crap server change to a new host or have your host up-date to current.
Vbulletin 3.7.0 to current are ment to be on a host that supports PHP5.2.6 and above. If your running PHP4 then you will have problems with skins a functions.
Vbulletin 3.5-3.6 will be fine as that is the format the PHP4 works with. I have noticed several members upgrading to the 3.7.x and then saying stuff is wrong and things are messed up.
If you upgrade vbulletin then make sure your Server,Host support it. With all the new features, hooks, security tokens, add-on's it is a must. I will no longer answer skin problems for those that dont upgrade their forms. I will support what I do for that version of skin of add-on....but if I come to your site and see that your running 3.7.0 RC3 and using 3.7.3 skins or 3.6.9 and using 3.7.x skins then your on own...there are to many template changes that occur and everyone knows all the dam 3.7.0 beta-rc5 were buggy as hell.
VbTeam,GSYN,DGT have released the most current version so there is no reason not to upgrade unless your server,host is not willing to upgrade their software..and if that is the case find a new one.

PHP and MySQL Requirements
vBulletin 3.7.0 requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16, but we strongly recommend that all customers run PHP 5.2.5 with APC and MySQL 5.0.51 or later. Major performance benefits can be had by taking the recommended route rather than simply satisfying the required versions.
vbulletin 3.7.3
PHP and MySQL Requirements
Please note that vBulletin 3.7.x requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 or later.
However, we recommend that vBulletin 3.7.x is run on PHP 5.2.6 with APC (or a similar opcode cache) and MySQL 5.0.51 for best performance and stability.
End of Life for PHP 4
PHP 4 has now reached its end of life. We strongly recommend that customers update their servers to PHP 5.2.6 if they are still running PHP 4. vBulletin 3.7.x supports PHP 5 without any problems, though you may need to disable strict mode for MySQL, see here on how to enable 'force_sql_mode'.
