View Full Version : Will upgrading to 4.0.2 from 4.0.1 mess up my mods?

So I guess I bought 4.0.1 right before they released 4.0.2. I installed a bunch of mods from the Mods forum, are they going to be all messed up now (vague I know, but general answer is fine).

Also how do we install the 4.0.2 update? I go to my customer page to download and it looks like a full install again. Or maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.

I don''t think your mods will be messed up. It is best to disable all the mods before you perform the update though. To update your forum, make first a thorough backup of your db and then overwrite all your forum files with the files from the 4.0.2 package and then run the upgrader by going to www.yourforum./com/install/upgrade.php. Hope it helps.

Most should carry on working ok. I doubt any will be "messed up" - the worst they are likely to do is simply stop working.

Thanks for your responses.

So after upgrading a lot of my mods now don't work. Do I have to re-install them again?

Or pretty much if they don't work now, I just have to wait until the programmer updates the mod?

Maybe you had some template modifications that are now gone.

I suggest you re-install them and they will most likely work :)
