Hello,

I read the MyBB Documentation but I still can't understand the steps.

Is all I do is copy over the new files?

How do I 'prepare for my upgrade' as it outlined in the Documentation? How do I shut down my forum? Is de-activating all plugins necessary?
You don't need to deactivate your plugins in bug fix releases (e.g. 1.6.11, 1.6.12) but you'll need to do that when upgrading to a minor version (e.g. 1.6 to 1.8).

To upgrade to MyBB 1.6.12 all you need to do is overwrite the files. There's no need to run the upgrade script for this upgrade as there aren't any changes to the database.
