So I am trying to update to 1.6.9 and i went to mydomain.com/fourms/install
and it says that I am already on 1.6.8 (which I am) but it will not allow me to update to 1.6.9 any help?

Did you get your installation files from this link?

http://www.mybb.com/downloads

By replacing the old files under /forums?

are you unning install.php rather than upgrade.php ? make sure you have uploaded all the files from the archive to your site and remove the lock file in the install folder then run upgrade.php

I am probably doing the wrong thing, can you point me in the right direction? (i.e how to get started)

/install/upgrade.php

have you uploaded the new files to your server ?
did you just upload the changed files or the full archive ?

let us know what you have done

I have deleted the lock file under /install, sadly I am a noob and that's how far I got

As others have asked, have you uploaded the new files? If yes, are you running the upgrade script like JimR said?
http://yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php

Do I need to replace the current files?
