Hi
I want to upgrade from 1.6.12 to 1.8.3. Can I do that directly by installing 1.8.3, or should I go via some intermediate versions?
Best regards
David
you can install it directly... make sure to back up your files and database before upgrade...
Edit: delayed response
you can do direct upgrade.
however please note that earlier version
plugins &
themes may not work on
MyBB 1.8.x
1 put forum offline
2 I'd suggest to take
two backups of the
database.
one with the plugins & other with all plugins deactivated.
3 you may also take a backup of files (web host might have backup facility)
esp. you should have copies of
~/inc/
config.php &
~/inc/
settings.php files
4 upload new version files and run the upgrade script (
~/install/
upgrade.php)

Thanks for your help.
