Ok so I'm trying to upgrade my forum to 1.27.

However the instructions on the wiki site appear to be incomplete...

' Wrote:Beginning the Upgrade
Open your FTP and navigate to the forums inc/ folder. Download the following files to somewhere safe as you will need to re-upload them later!
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
Upload all the new files including the install folder, overriding the existing copies (this contains the upgrade files also) to your forums root directory.
Navigate to the inc/ folder and replace
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
CHMOD the above two files to 666 (or 777, whatever suits your server), and also CHMOD the folders listed below to 777:
Go to www.yourdomain.com/forumfolder/install/upgrade.php

The part that confuses me is where it says: "and also CHMOD the folders listed below to 777:" There are NO Folders listed below! It is blank on the wiki site! Did someone edit this by mistake? Whats the deal?

I believe it is meant to read CHMOD folders /uploads/ and /uploads/avatars/ to 777

Can anyone confirm this? An Admin?

It are the same folders like when you do a fresh install ... uploads and uploads/avatars .

Edit ::

Wiki has been updated =P

See here if you don't believe me: http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/CHMOD_Files

LOL! Thanks guys. Wish me luck on my upgrade. I'm new to this as you can tell.

Yea! The upgrade went smoothly! Now I have CHMODDED the config file to 755, but I remember from my fresh install (1.26) I CHMODDED another file also? The settings file maybe? forget... Also, after the install do I just leave uploads and uploads/avatars @ 666? I just want my forum to be as secure as possible.

yes, inc/settings.php , else all the settings you will make in the future won't be saved =P The CHMOD on the folders needs to be 666 or 777 , else users can't upload attachments / avatars and such =P

The folders upload and upload/avatars need to be 777. inc/settings.php needs to be 666, but inc/config.php can be 644.
