or do i have to upgrade one at a time from 7.2?

uh, no, you never need to upgrade single versions at a time.

boy, talk about being a pain in the arse if you really had to do that. the way they are spurting out these releases it is to much work to keep up with them. LOL. we're at 7.7 now right? or is 7.8 out, i haven't checked infopop today.
