Hello, sounds like it's worth upgrading to the new version. Is there any documentation on how to run an upgrade. I have a pretty established forum and can't afford a crash. Also wondering if I can back the old software up before I upgrade.
 
Thx,
Dave
 
EDIT: I am running the MS SQL version

Diveboard,
This topic has been covered plenty of times.. depending on what version you are running will also have some play with it also.. Here is a Link that might help you out with it.. other than that look and the Release files and copy them over..
 
Make sure once again that you back up all files before trying to upgrade

Diveboard,

The way I did it was to (after backing up) convert the DB to v9 etc, and upload the v9 files into another subfolder.  This allowed me to test the new forum, make any changes I needed, then migrate within a matter of minutes.

However, before I did the above, I cloned the database, and tested that once upgraded, the database could still be used on your old version as well!

I have a Safari user complaining of weird characters added to his posts with the newest version.
 
I copied and pasted his statement below.
 
Okay, this new version sucks for Safari.  Every post I make from my Mac has those funny characters.

This appears to be an character encoding issue with their browser.

If they can't fix it you should suggest that they edit their profile and disable the WYSIWYG Editor.
