I am running 7.7a and would like to upgrade to 7.9 but I'm nervous that if I do it wrong, I may lose the existing discussions, uploads and settings.
I saw in another post that you said "If you are using the Access version ... then you just need to replace the files with the latest version keeping your database intact." and I am running Access.
When I expand the directory tree, there are many subdirectories and files under "forum" in the distributed package. I assume I should not be replacing /forum/admin/database or /forum/admin/uploads/ but is there a clear statement describing exactly which directories and files should be replaced?
