Help a brazilian noob upgrading MyBB 1.8.6 to 1.8.7

[palhanow]

Hey guys!

Sorry for bother all you, but im having a issue here and after reading carefully all the instructions, and blogs, and etc., im still loosing my mind.

Note: This is my first forum, and im trying to get better at adm stuff, but, sometimes this is beyond my capacities.

I downloaded today the "Changed Files Packs" (after all, im using 1.8.6), unziped in my computer and uploaded the files in the respective directories using my FTP. All good here.

But, when im going to install (~/forum/install) the upgrade tell me that im "upgrading my old version TO 1.8.6" - dont shows nothing about 1.8.7).

So... What i have to do?

Just like a noob, i installed the "upgrade" but, my dashboard still saying that i have 1.8.6 version.

My Forum link is: www.politz.com.br/forum

Please, help me.

looks like some of old version files were not replaced by the new version files.
can you upload the files again & run upgrade script (put forum offline & take
database backup before upgrading)

Hello you again! I sent you an MP in the morning for your theme support. Your login still active.
I read all the tutorials many and many times but did not work. So... See what i did:

M, you are like the M from 007 from helping this community or some kind of Support Genius, you deserve some recommendation (or money) for all this free help. I spend many hours reading all the Forum and your job done here is great, very awesome!! My congrats for you!!

Guys, what i did is:
- Uploaded many and many times the "Upgrade Package", but, did not work. I dont know why. Unziped, uploaded again, downloaded again in this almost infinite loop.

So, im noobing around my Forum and uploaded the HOLE FULL INSTALLATION PACKAGE (not good?) in my forum dir and............. IT WORKED! I run the install link (forum/install) and upgraded like a software, very nice, very easy. Dont loose nothing (include some noobie templates modifications), my tests posts, my configurations, its all here! The only thing i did is reinstall the plugins to work properly. HOW NICE IS THAT?

I dont know if this maybe get me some securities issues in my forum, or bugs whats so ever (not seeing), but... It worked. You guys recommend this kind of brazilian newbie stuff? Or its better to delete all the content in my forum dir and do some full clean installation again?

^ if upgrade from changed files pack is not working (due to some odd reason)
we do recommend to try upgrading from the full package of the new version.
no harm is done. one has to follow the upgrading steps just like you did
