You replace the files and images in your old version with those from the latest release, keeping your existing database.

You will also need to edit the file 'database/database_connection.asp' to put back in your database connection details.

This download is only for premium editions only. If people have forum software hosted by you (within their packages), how do they get this, or is it pre-installed on the servers anyway?

The new SEO features are only available on the Premium Edition and for those who have a hosted service with us.

Those who have a paid license can download the Web Wiz URL Rewrite tool for those with hosted solutions with us you will need to fill out a support ticket to have your forum updated to the latest release which will include having the Web Wiz URL Rewrite tool installed for you.

The Web Wiz URL Rewrite tool does require that ISAPI_Rewrite 3 Full or Microsoft URL Rewrite for IIS7 is installed on the server. Our Windows Server 2008 Hosting Packages do have ISAPI_Rewrite 3 Full installed.

The SEO features seem great - but there should be an option to turn it on or off (for Premium Users), since I would prefer on some of my forums to keep the links the same as they were in previous versions.

It appears the only way I can turn the "&title=thread-name" off is to downgrade to the free version - odd Confused (or edit the forum)
