Of course, security fixes are the most important part of the update. The rest can be seen looking on each file with Notepad++ and comparing with old files.
There's my little "tip". I hope that helps.
What, you want manual changes for every single bug fix or something...?? There's hundreds of edits you'd have to make, it'd take you ages, this is the first time someone's asked for manual changes for all the bug fixes.
If you've edited files, make a note of what edits you've made, and make them again after you've uploaded the changed files.
Not able to upgrade from 1.6 to 1.6.1
Instructions:

1. Download the .zip from here.
2. (optional, but recommended) Close the board, then get a backup of your database.
3. Upload the .zip to the root directory and unpack it.
4. Go to
http://yoursite.com/install/upgrade.php and follow the instructions.
5. Reopen board.
6. Done!
Is the correct #4 url
www.batr.net/forumfolder/install/upgrade.php
Hosting service SiteGround will not provide the location for this url. I get an error of a Wordpress page of the domain name.
SG states:
You were unable to use the upgrade script of MyBB because the script requires the file lock to be removed from the installation folder and this file exist:
/home/batr1594/public_html/forum/install
-rw-r--r-- 1 batr1594 batr1594 1 Dec 2 02:34 lock
In order to proceed with the upgrade of the application you will need to navigate to that folder and remove the file lock.
PLEASE instruct WHERE I can
find the setting to UNLOCK
Appreciate any instructions on how to upgrade to 1.6.1
BATR
Quite simply delete the file called lock from the install folder
That's what the message says to do, you just need to do what it says...
Plus couldn't you make your own thread if you have a totally separate issue to the thread you've posted in...??
Question...if I did the upgrade from the changed files pack, did i get all the bug fixes or just the security issues?
Yes, the changed files pack is everything, the security fixes are provided in the manual patches file.
Guess there's a first time for everything. Sounds more like I should be on the development team then since most the people who post here don't really understand PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, XML, etc. I forgot MyBB was designed for people to use without knowing how it works.
Thanks guys.

Even people who know PHP would rather upload a package of changed files than sit at their computer for ages making manual changes to fix over 90 bugs, and I doubt you'll learn anything by going through making code changes for bug fixes that you couldn't learn by just looking at the code anyway...

Dunno what your point is here, of course people don't need to know the ins and outs of how everything works to be able to use it, why would they??
Okay I guess I should have rephrased my question. I simply was wondering if there is a list of all the bugs and fixes. Not necessarily where they all were and exactly what they were. I guess I didn't realize how much is actually changed in each new version.
I didn't mean to come across as a jerk or anything. Sorry.
