1.6.8 not listed in upgrade as choice, highest listed is 1.6.7, I'm using 1.6.8. How do I fix this?

Thank you for your help.

I uploaded this: http://resources.mybb.com/downloads/chan...s_1609.zip
And expanded it in my forum directory after upload.
Try using the full package instead: http://www.mybb.com/downloads

Now I am really confused!

How do I upgrade from 1.6.8 to 1.6.9 by uploading the full install package?

Won't that trash my current install of 1.6.8?

And how will that work when I run the upgrade script?

No, you can upgrade either by using the full or the changed files package. Simply do the same as you previously did and upload the files from the full package to your forum.

That worked. Thank you!

I uploaded the full install package. Actually I didn't need the Documentation directory so first I expanded mybb_1609.zip and made an archive of the contents of Upload directory and used that to upgrade my forum.

I note that 1.6.9 fixed a problem with links creation after a recent upgrade of my browsers, SeaMonkey 2.15 and Firefox 18.
