I got an email about the MyBB 1.6.2 Release & 1.4.15 Update but no instructions about how to get the update.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I agree, that article needs to be cleaned up. I'll probably do that tonight.
You're basically doing to backup everything, upload
the full 1.6.2 package, then run /install/upgrade.php.
Actually, according to the blog post, you do
not need to run the upgrade script since it's just a few files being changed. Just
download this and upload. It'll automatically change your version to 1.6.2.
How I know this? Experience.

If he wants to stay on the 1.4 series. I would highly suggest upgrading completely to the 1.6 series.

I downloaded it. It is a folder full of files and folders. Do I upload them to my hosting site?
Thank you for your help.

If you are currently running 1.6.1 then just upload the new files overwriting the old files if you are currently running 1.4.x then you will need to run the full upgrade. difficult to guide as you've not steted your current version.

This is true, you never actually told us what version you're currently on. Good catch, adbrad.
