regarding templates and upgrade from 2.0.2 to latest 2.1.x

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

hi all;
i want to upgrade to the latest 2.1.4
i am currently using 2.0.2.
i have modified the default template (css, htmls to remove several features).
i am a little afraid to upgrade because i dont want to loose the work i did on the default template.
is it possible to take my modified 2.0.2 default template, rename it and put it as a different temaplate on a 2.1x installment?

what are my options here?
thanks.

I suggest you to use some diff tool (diff, winmerge etc), to see what changed. There will be a line break here, a new message there, and probably some changed / new freemarker expressions.

You can use your 2.0.2 templates then. The CSS file didn't changed a bit.
