Okay, so I've pretty much mastered MyBB, but there's this one little feature that I've never got around learning how to do... upgrading.

I'm sure I can just upload all of the files from 1.6.7 and then just import my 1.6.5 database? If not, then please help me out peeps.

Thanks,
BreShiE
No, you'll have to use the upgrade script first before you can just import any database, they have to match since the upgrades change not only template edits but files (and sometimes the way that the data is shared/setup in your database).
Damn. I deleted my install folder too. :/

Anyone still got the 1.6.5 files?
Wait, so you have a MyBB 1.6.5 install and you simply wan to upgrade to 1.6.7, right?

All you need to do is upload the contents of a fresh MyBB 1.6.7 download then go to yoururl.com/install/upgrade.php.
You don't need to upload any files from 1.6.5. 1.6.7 is the latest release.

See [Wiki: Upgrading] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead).
Right, going to try that now. Back in 5.

Thanks euantor and Nathan.
