Hello,

I've been told to upgrade my forum from MyBB 1.6.10 to MyBB 1.8.

If I create a new installation then install all updated plugins am I able to import my users/threads and forums from the previous version or will I have to start again?
No, you don't have to start over.

I have tried this but it kept telling me some files (plugin related) were missing and wouldn't continue.
If they're all deactivated before you start, they won't cause any issues.
That's what the upgrade/merge systems are for Big Grin
