It seems I need to upgrad from 7.3 to 7.5.

I want to give it a go myself.

If I follow these instructions carefully, should it all go smoothly without any hickups? Trying to save myself $99.

and is this still valid?

Thanks

They both are fine.
It is a painless process.

The only thing missing from the instructions is:

Make a backup of the database and forum files first.

Just in care you happen to be lucky enough to be one of the few that have a hickup.

Thank you Ruben.

I have one or two modifications..... Can I still do this process?

(I realise that those mods will likely be wiped out, but that doesn't matter....)

Then it does not matter because the file the mod is in will be overwritten with the upgrade file.

Okey dokey, so I can do this with confidence...... wish me luck!

Thank you.

Good luck

Should be painless

Never had a problem, especially when I use Gizmo's 7.x for dummies... because let's face it ... m and n are very close together and well I think there was a reason for that

Dunny-Dummy very similar...

I always run the upgrade on my test site before I do my live site. I copy the current db over to the test, run the backup, re apply my mods than bundle it up and do it to my live site.

I've rarely had a problem that wasn't quickly fixed with a permission fix or two. Good luck!

I beyond compare my current copy to stock files, then I copy my modifications to the new copy, upload the new files, run the upgrade, and go...

In fact, that's what I do on every client upgrade that I'm paid to do ...
