I'd like to note that where that is a valid upgrade procedure (as others have noted over the v7 coarse) it isn't a route I'd ever go (even as someone who generally heavily modifies their coding version after version) when upgrading any of my forum installs...

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?
