Default Upgrading to 3.7+ preventing disaster
How do I save my smiley settings and forum Rank settings?

I can save the images ok but I can't find where to backup the actual settings.

And what about my Arcade settings?

Help!

just disable hooks before the upgrade, then enable and it's done ...

however: the BEST thing is do a complete back-up of your DB and FTP ...

Thanks. Is that in 'Manage Products' or 'Plugin Manager'? I assume I just uncheck everything?

Hang on... no that's not it. Do I disable the above anyway?

What/where are 'hooks'?

Yeah, I know - I'm dreading it! I've saved the code from all the templates I've been screwing around with. Could be a long night...

While I'm here, I disabled the hook/plugin system (just to test) and custom smileys still work - is that right?

what you mean with custom? maybe new smiles that you have uploaded? no troubles for that mate ... also no troubles for your ranks images ... these files are into your FTP so none can touch these files ...

There is no worry about the upgrading even changing the smilies, ranks or vB code you've added. But to be safe, take a forum backup before you upgrade.
