Looks like you didn't upload all the new files. Please upload all the new files and follow the [Wiki: Upgrading] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead) instructions.
where can i get the old version from ?
1.2.14 => http://mybboard.net/download/71/zip

If we can go from 1.2.2 to 1.2.14, maybe we could then go to 1.4.4...

You can go from any 1.2 release to 1.4.4 directly by just updating all the files and running the upgrade procedure properly.

There are a couple of issues with 1.1 upgrades but those will be resolved with 1.4.5.
That's what I thought, but when I did this (I tried to do this upgrade by the way) upgrade.php was blank. install.php was fine, but the link to the upgrader on there just went to a blank page too. Downloaded a new copy too, no better.

Can you provide more details? Are you sure you updated all the files properly?
Yep, uploaded them all loads of times using FileZilla (only way I could)... ./install/index.php was fine, and when I viewed the board I think it said it needed to be upgraded like it should, but ./install/upgrade.php was blank.

I just installed 1.2.2 on my localhost and upgraded it to 1.4.4 and it went fine, using the exact same bunch of files, so this must be a host issue, just don't know what.
