if someone could help me to successfully upgrade my from from 1.6.3 - 1.6.4
its will be great , really appreciated , thanks in advance.
It's pretty simple. Download the latest copy of MyBB 1.6.4 and re-upload all the files. Then go to the upgrade page, for example:

http://example.com/install/upgrade.php
and i should not close the forum first? idk how to close it =S
It is recommended, yes, as well as deactivating all plugins.

Go to Admin CP > Configuration > Settings > Board Online / Offline > Yes.
Turning your board offline via the Board Online / Offline is not recommended. The upgrade process can still be easily interrupted even with this setting on.

Have a search for .htaccess protecting directories, or if you have a cPanel host, you can password protect the directory.

Take a look at [Wiki: Upgrading] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead).
okay thanks alot , there is another thing that i should know about this upgrade?
im making full backup now from the cpanel...
Nothing that isn't already covered by the link that is provided by Tomm M above...

You should be fine.
Okay thanks alot Faviouz & Tomm M i hope that evrything will be fine =)
