That's it. If I didn't know what I was doing and simply followed these instructions there's the potential to overwrite your forums admincp folder, images folder, includes folder, and clientscript folder.

The instructions should say to install the contents of each of these folders into their corresponding folders on your server. Otherwise, there is the potential to overwrite these folders.

Does that make sense?

He understand and give you the accurate reply.
Let's say you have "Folder A" on the server containing "file1.php, file2.php, file3.php and file4.php" and you have "Folder A" on your desktop with "file1.php, file2.php, file3.php, file4.php, file5.php, file6.php" inside it.

When you upload "Folder A" from your desktop to your server, It will only overwrite existing files and adding new files. It does NOT overwrite the folder itself. So, you will still have your Folder A with all the files intact in addition to the new files you uploaded.
