More great reasons to:
Use Web Wiz forum software - the paid version
and
Use Web Wiz hosting.

One of the best computer-related decisions I've ever made...................

So, just to clarify, I'm running 9.69, and uploading that one file makes me safe?
(well as safe as anyone can ever be Big smile)

Yes it would.

However, I would recommend upgrading fully to 9.72 as you would also gain the Mobile Optimised View allowing people to use your forum with SmartPhones and Tablets, which are starting to account for a large number of users, and with all manufactures releasing Tablets over the next few months there will be a massive growth in the number of users.

OK, another (dumb?) question...

If I make a copy of my forum on a sub directory, using the same database. and apply the upgrade to it (the copy), will any changes the upgrades make to the Database affect my main forum?
(hope that makes sense)

There are no database upgrades when upgrading between 9.x versions. Database upgrades only happen when moving between major version such as 9.x to 10.x

Web Wiz Forums version 10 will be released in beta before the end of this week.

I'm about half tempted to move to the 10 beta for our own forum.
AFAIK this is v10 right here and has been for a while..............
I want to upgrade - but would I do 9.7x only to move to 10 a short time later?
