upgrading forum help...

[GoTTi]

ok, this forum i wanna update has alot of errors on it somewhere and i cant find the problems....

if i install a fresh copy of the forum, what items in the DB should i save to bring over to the new forum?

normally it should be enough to just overwrite the files, there is normally no need to redo the whol DB structure, too

[GoTTi]

ok...so i upload all the files to the site, overwriting the exisitng, and run the upgradexx.php files right?

[GoTTi]

i actually want to install a fresh copy of the forum, but i do not want to loose the post/members and all the info that goes with it....but i am not sure which db items i need to copy over to a new DB....

erm sorry, but it's impossible to loose nothing and do a fresh install.
you can either loose something or don't do a fresh install.
