I have the database of a VB 3.6.0 backed up. Will I have to do anything special to get it to restore to a VB 3.6.8?

Oh I forgot to mention. It's a pretty much stock install. I just changed the colors around and a few graphics(buttons). No mods or hacks or anything. I just want to make sure my users are restored, and sections. Also having the posts restored would be a big plus too.

It's best you restore 3.6.0, and then upgrade. There's been a number changes between them (especially after 3.6.6).
It's pretty straightforward, though. Upload the database to your server, edit config.php to make sure it has the new, correct information and you should be good to go. Edit your site's details though to make all the cookie/contact details are right, and update the URL in your member's area if the URL of the license has changed.

For some reason my version of 3.6.0 doesn't accept my member #. Maybe i need to redownload it again or something?
