im in the process of upgrading to 1.6 but im not sure what it means by going to www.yourdomain.com/forumfolder/install/upgrade.php, the site doesnt seem to be working for me what do i do and do i really need to do this?

If your site is www.sampleforum.com and when you go there you see your forum then you have to go to www.sampleforum.com/install/upgrade.php
Some people don't have their forum on their main site so if your go to www.sampleforum.com and you have a website that isn't part of MyBB and you have a link to your forum it would be like: www.sampleforums.com/forum/install/upgrade.php

I hope that helps.

Error
The installer is currently locked, please remove 'lock' from the install directory to continue

Use your FTP client and go to the /install directory and delete the file called "lock"

No problem, everyone has to learn sometime.
Did you upload the MyBB 1.6 files?

yep and into my ftp and over rode all the existing files uploaded the upload folder form the mybb_1600 file

It should be the first option, already selected by default option in the dropdown menu.
