Hi, first I apologize if this question has been maded before, but I have not find this. And my english is no so good.
Weel, I have a forum that works with v1.2.14, and I want update to v1.4.2.
Does exist somethink for updated to the last version of mybb quickly?
or only I have to do install 1.4.2 and then inport the database of 1.2.14?
Thanks, I hope response.
no, you will just need to upload all mybb 1.4.2 to your exists forum directory the call this url via your browser
site.com/ForumDir/install/
and follow this simple steps.
but before doing this please make sure you have a full backup of your site (including your database and files)..

Did you mean to say 'install' rather than 'upgrade'?
Better still - replicate your entire forum in a sub-folder, upgrade that and test it thoroughly while leaving your original forum untouched. If all goes well, then backup and upgrade the live forum.

But yeah, like SteelD said, if you're unsure on anything just make a totally separate forum and test it until you're happy enough to make the change.
Basically ypu remove all the 1.2.14 files, upload all the 1.4.2 ones, and do to ./install/upgrade.php. Then you select 1.2.14 from the menu, and it does the rest for you.
But like pepotiger said, make sure you have a full backup of your database and files incase it goes wrong.
