	Hi, I've not updated my forum for quite some time and I was hoping to update it using the version 7 upgrade however due to the differences from v 6.26 and 7 it is not working, I can't copy and paste my users into the new database due to links and fields being required etc is there a way I can upgrade to version 7 or 8 from my current version and then run the 'new' update? Thanks

	You would do well to perhaps contact support (depending on whether your forum was a free or paid for version)

	I found a way to do it I downloaded a ww7migration tool, found a website that had a version 7 still available for download, followed the instructions in the migration tool to update to v7 then ran the new update and it all appears to be working fine so far. Need to do some testing to check it has all updated okay but it appears the posts and users are all there okay. If you need more info let me know.

	All working well now :) If you have version 6 and need to upgrade to 7 you can download the migrator tool and version 7.9 database from here :- http://www.neuxmedia.co.uk/files/ww6to7update.zip Then using the version 9 upgrade.htm file you'll be able to update from version 7. I did not make the migrator tool and the rest is copyright its owners etc etc.... blah blah.. thanks
