1. Backup your entire database first.
2. Download Changed Files from the blog.
3. Upload the changed files and overwrite to the old files. Wink

Do we just overwrite the old files, then?
I want to know this too Smile.
Yes, you'll upload and overwrite the files that were changed.
So the file on the mybb blog do i upload the hole folder or will it over write all my members and posts?
Your member's and post's are stored in the database. Overwriting the files supplied in the upgrade patch will not destroy any of your user's data.
