It will probably be helpful if you post some information about any modifications you are running. That could make the job more difficult for someone if they plan to help you out.

Also, you don't *need* to upgrade. I stayed using 3.0.12 until just this last December until I was able to rewrite my hacks and do an upgrade on a test site of mine to be sure everything would work.

im not really bothered about the the modifications(hacks) on the board. i can get updated ones from here. aslong as the members are still on the board and all the threads and posts are still their.

please people, i know their are some kind generous people here lol

It's really easy you know mate...
1) configure your config.php file with your MySQL settings
2) upload the new files, ensure you delete the install.php from the Install folder after you upload..
3) go to www.yoururl.com/install/upgrade.php and that's it...

I can do it if you still are unsure. PM Me.

I've upgraded my active forum to vB3.6.9. There were templates that needed reverted then re-adding the hacks. No biggie.

I have a testvb vB370RC2 forum snapshot I'm testing out. If you can hold on go with vB370 Gold when it's released. It offers a lot of new features; is well worth the wait for it.

But, as Bradley mentioned, just follow the vB upgrade instructions, granted the write-up on how to tweak the config.php is weak.

I guess they expect you as a professional (buying vb over a free board) would know the basics of MySQL but considering people still may not know, they could do some a favour and show how to configure it step by step...

You don't need any php knowledge, really. It's so easy for a newbie, to set-up a database, then upload some files, and run the installer/upgrade script. I did it when I was a complete newbie to everything :)

*sigh*

not everyone is as bright as you.
