Still got to get around to the update. I keep putting things off.
Anyway, here is my headerinclude template. Which two jQuery.noConflict should I delete. Also what is a jQuery library and how do I make sure it's only loaded once?
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (RSS 2.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (Atom 1.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php?type=atom1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={$charset}" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/prototype.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/general.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/popup_menu.js?ver=1600"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$theme['imgdir']}/js/avatar.js"></script>
{$stylesheets}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var cookieDomain = "{$mybb->settings['cookiedomain']}";
var cookiePath = "{$mybb->settings['cookiepath']}";
var cookiePrefix = "{$mybb->settings['cookieprefix']}";
var deleteevent_confirm = "{$lang->deleteevent_confirm}";
var removeattach_confirm = "{$lang->removeattach_confirm}";
var loading_text = '{$lang->ajax_loading}';
var saving_changes = '{$lang->saving_changes}';
var use_xmlhttprequest = "{$mybb->settings['use_xmlhttprequest']}";
var my_post_key = "{$mybb->post_code}";
var imagepath = "{$theme['imgdir']}";
// -->
</script>
{$newpmmsg}
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$theme['imgdir']}/js/collapse.js"></script>
Replace with:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (RSS 2.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="{$lang->latest_threads} (Atom 1.0)" href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/syndication.php?type=atom1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={$charset}" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/prototype.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/general.js?ver=1603"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/jscripts/popup_menu.js?ver=1600"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$theme['imgdir']}/js/avatar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$theme['imgdir']}/js/collapse.js"></script>
{$stylesheets}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var cookieDomain = "{$mybb->settings['cookiedomain']}";
var cookiePath = "{$mybb->settings['cookiepath']}";
var cookiePrefix = "{$mybb->settings['cookieprefix']}";
var deleteevent_confirm = "{$lang->deleteevent_confirm}";
var removeattach_confirm = "{$lang->removeattach_confirm}";
var loading_text = '{$lang->ajax_loading}';
var saving_changes = '{$lang->saving_changes}';
var use_xmlhttprequest = "{$mybb->settings['use_xmlhttprequest']}";
var my_post_key = "{$mybb->post_code}";
var imagepath = "{$theme['imgdir']}";
// -->
</script>
{$newpmmsg}
Provide the URL if that doesn't help..

Check whether there is only one jQuery lib instance in all <script> src attributes.
Before finding that last post my FireFox crashed. After it restarted my Editor was back so I didn't do anything. Should I replace my headerinclude template before upgrading to 1.8? Honestly I have never done a large update before and I'm a bit nervous doing this. I don't know what changes have been made to my templates as I was given my site from the former owner and I don't know everything he did. I think I also have to check how many of my plugins would still work after the update.
^ can you give list of activated plugins ..
Here is a list of the plugins I have activated. I have included the developers and links as it looks like my predecessor got a number of plugins from other developers. Some of the links look to be broken and aren't around anymore.

If I remember correctly I installed Registration Security Question (1.2) and Welcome PM/Email (1.1). I have a few more but they aren't active.
some of them work in MyBB 1.8 & a couple are not required for MyBB 1.8. And a few are not necessary. PM me
if you need assistance in upgrading your forum and if you are willing to provide required temporary access
Which ones? Admins can log into Users' accounts has been somewhat useful, but I guess I don't 100% need it. I use Quick Replies all the time and I think the plugin is what gives me a postbit editor for them. Date of Birth on Registration, Registration Security Question, Trash Can Forum, and Welcome PM/Email are necessary for my forum unless 1.8 does that on it's own. Janota's plugins are mostly for show but some threads are built around First Post On All Thread Pages. Nobody appears to be using New Points in the past 4 months, but I don't want to lose the states for that. I don't have a phone that can browse the web so I can't check how MyBB GoMobile is working. I also need to be able to use spoiler code. A number of posts already have it and losing it would be a problem.
Honestly I'm terrified of upgrading. I haven't taken any classes on code or anything. I fear there will be a number of things messed up and I won't be able to fix them. I haven't even deleted the plugins that stopped working a while ago in my file manager. The themes I use are Photoshop Bliss IV, NeonGlow, and MyBB GoMobile and I'm not sure how to get new ones. I'm also a bit paranoid about giving out my URL in the posts as I am afraid of being hacked. My site is mostly under the radar but I have already been attacked by bots. I really only took over the site as the fonder was soon going to be unable to support it for reasons he didn't say and I wanted to keep it going. Even with his help I had problems when taking it over and now I am unable to get a hold of him.
That said I may be a few days before I even find the time to run the update. Also need my users to know about it. My forum is a few years old even if I have only run it for less then a year. I have a number of large threads people have pent years on. Still I only have a hand full of active users.
^ well, if you want to upgrade and if you find a trusted member of this community to help then that person takes care
of almost everything (however if it is a heavy work then you may have to compensate for hard work & devoted time)
I will have to look into that. Still I don't want my site to be down to long so I want to look into a number of things before I start. I don't have many users and I don't want to risk loosing the few I do to this.
PS: How would I know if they are trusted? A high reputation sounds like a good place to start but last I checked you can't down vote someone.
