You must use the upgrade.php file not the install.php.
When doing a normal upgrade unless it is a legacy product which requires a import.
So it can look to see if alters are needed in the dbase tables.
That said if you are going to import a 6.5 dbase then you need to run the import script in the members area and follow the directions from the members area.
I would not attempt any shortcuts unless you are very friendly with ubb.
Note:
There is a bug where since version 7 a new class moderator was added and causes a issue.
By upgrading to like 7.0 then 7.5.7 will help.
Or just fix the issue after upgrading.
I used the upgrade.php file to update the forum from 7.5.6p2 to 7.5.7.
How can I see if I got the problem with the "new class moderator" and how can I fix it after upgrading ?
@Gizmo: I used this upgrade guide to upgrade my forum:
upgrade guide Is this an old guide ?
But all my problems still exist....should I or can I run the upgrade file again when uploading all the files again ?
Perhaps the were some problems with the first upgrade...
Thanks
