Dear all,

This is my first post here, hello to everyone, nice to see a big community like this.

I'm using Mybb since 3 or 4 years, and I have a community since 6 years.

Yesterday, after a while, I started to upgrade my forum (present one is 1.6.16). Good. This is not my first upgrade, I followed bellow steps and I have run into a strange issue.

0. Backup my existing forum files and database.
1. Download mybb package from your site -> upload to my server.
2. Create a new database with my mysql tool
4. Acces http://mydomain/forum_new -> autoredirected to /install
5. Installing forum
6. From last page and I mean this one: this one I pressed CTRL and click to open a new page in Firefox.
7. Everything looks fine
8. Download merge system package to start the upgrading process
9. Unzip and upload merge directory to my new forum in order to acces the merge system http://mydomain/forum_new/merge , accesing the link and surprise

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:1146 - Table 'onlypro_ro_new_mybb.mybb_debuglogs' doesn't existQuery: INSERT INTO mybb_debuglogs (`type`,`message`,`timestamp`) VALUES (4,'File: /merge/index.php Line: 51 Function: Log->trace0 -> \r\nMyBB Merge System Started: $version_code: 1806 $merge_version: 1.8.6',1445784699) 
Please contact the [url=http://www.mybb.com]MyBB Group[/url] for technical support.

Maybe my Mysql server is sick, but, I am running multiple sites and forums on it, but anyway, I'm checking the new database to understand if that table exists, and no, it doesn't.
Just because I was curios I have opend mysql_db_inserts.php and mysql_db_tables.php from ./install/resources directory and I have searched the line were table mybb_debuglogs is created on install of mybb, i couldn't.
So something is wrong here or maybe I am doing something wrong, if you can help.

P.S. Today I have repeated again the steps above and same issue.

L.E. It looks like you have also a problem. After I have edited my post with Full Edit and pressed "Update Post" an little error occurred: print screen here

Kind regards
Merge system is not meant for upgrading MyBB forum version. please see upgrading process
Ups :| Ok. Thank you.

Dear .m.,

The upgrade process worked like a charm second time (first time I had an error 2006 like mysql server gone, but I fixed it by increasing max_allowed_packet to 20M in my.cnf from mysql), but, I have a little error on private message system:
Mouse pointer is on title of Private Message outside of Profile

Mouse pointer is on title of Private Message inside of Profile

It looks like the link for reading the PM has an error.

Kind regards,
