Basically ive heard that when you upgrade all the images and things have to be re-uploaded to your webserver again.
Well i have lots of images that would need to be uploaded.
Also i dont want to risk breaking the site
Can anybody help me ? or atleast explain the steps in detail?
"

that is a misconception OR rather incorrect !!
steps :
Upgrading
what about all the plugins? do they need to be re installed?
And what about the mysql databases?
^ which myBB version you have at present ?
Just upload the 1.6.4 files and run the upgrade script. No data will be lost unless you've made core edits.
where is the 1.6.4 files and the upgrade scropts?
Plz help?
scripts*
Backup your files and database.
Download 1.6.4:
http://www.mybb.com/download/latest
Upload the whole thing so it overwrites your current files.
Go to your site.com/install/upgrade.php
Choose 1.6.3 from the list of versions.
Run through the wizard.
Nothing will happen to your images unless you've replaced the default images that are in the ./images/ folder (you can probably get away with not uploading the images folder anyway) and nothing will happen to your plugins.
