If the wiki was any help we wouldn't be here Huh

it says to add the merge files to a copy of the mybb: but where do we and how do we add the full copy to our directorys?, in the same directory overwriting the files. or in a new directory?.

MyBB wiki Wrote:Uploading the Files

With the files extracted from the MyBB package, upload the 'merge' directory from the package to your existing installation of MyBB's folder. You must keep the files inside the 'merge' directory.

Things to keep in mind:

Make sure that the directory structure is kept. (ie. the files in the admin directory should be uploaded to a directory called admin, the files in the archive directory should be uploaded to a directory called archive, etc)
Make sure that you upload the .php, .html, .css and any other text file in ASCII mode, and that you upload the .gif, .jpg, .png, and any other binary file in Binary mode (see your FTP software documentation)
