I am a newbie to WWF, so I have a couple of questions.

1.  I installed version 7.9 a long while ago (at least it indicates this version at the bottom of the forums page).  Can I upgrade to 7.96 without having to start over?  In other words, how do I keep all the messages and forum names.

2.  Does 7.96 have CAPTCHA pre-integrated, (e.g. I don't have to download anything and change any of the .ASP files)?

3.  Can I upgrade my installation to 8.0 beta and keep all my messages and forum names.  Is there some kind of migration utility to move the database to 8.0?  Based on what I read in the release notes for 8.0, the database has changed significantly.

4.  And finally, the release notes state that CAPTCHA is integrated.  Does this mean "out of the box" integrated or I have to download something extra "integrated"?

Thanks

Web Wiz CAPTCHA is integrated into version 7.96 and version 8, so you don't need to do anything.

Upgrading from version 7.9 to 7.96 is as simple as replacing the ASP files and keeping your old database.

Version 8 is not yet completed and is in beta testing and so is not stable and an upgrade utility will not be available until it is out of testing and a stable version is released. More database changes will be made to version 8 before the it's final release.
