My site: http://www.metsjunkie.com, used an older version of drupal and now has massive errors.
for a while, I was fighting off spam, but I lost the battle, and now I've seemingly lost control.
the worst part is that it seems as though I've also lost my content?!?!?! which would be devastating!
Can anyone help? I'm seeing this error quite a bit...
Function ereg() is deprecated in /home2/metsjun/public_html/includes/file.inc on line 647.
Thank you

the problem is that you are using too new a version of PHP with Drupal. ereg is deprecated in newer version of PHP.
your drupal installation should be upgraded. All versions before Drupal 6.x are unsupported and potentially insecure as are all contrib modules for versions of Drupal before 6.x. If you care about your content, keep your drupal updated and upgraded as core moves forward.

If I upgrade, how do I keep my theme in tact? I did a lot of custom CSS/Design work that I'd like to keep. Can I just keep that folder/files in tact, and then after the upgrade, re-insert it?

Themes are not backward compatible as modules aren't. The theme would have to be upgraded to work with the version of drupal in use.
