We are running version 6.34 (SQL version). Can I just remove the old files and upload the new files and re-run the sql setup page? Will my old messages and users be intact when I do this or is there another way I should upgrade.
Thanks

No, it's not as simple as that with the SQL server version.
If you look in the mods forum think someone did make some sort of
upgrade script at one point, otherwise it's a matter of trying to build
the new database around the old one using the changes listed in the
version history file.

Thankz for that I have upgraded and all seams ok.
Good work BoRg 
PS
I don’t know if its me but I downloaded the forum and looked at the Version history and only found it go’s up to version 7.6 to version 7.6a.
I have updated ok as I only placed the new files up on the host with my database.

I get this error after upgrading SQL 7.6 to 7.7, whenever I look at someone's profile:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'
Variable is undefined: 'strTxtOnlineStatus'
/entrustment/forums/pop_up_profile.asp, line 287 |
In which file is this variable defined? Did I miss copying up one file?
Thanks.

that's probably due to a mod by maddog u installed (online users status  ).
Delete maddogs code, or simply replace forum_posts.asp.
