    Here are the upgrade instructions in the manual:



    Choose your current version from the drop-down menu on the top corner of the screen before you start.

    A quick overview is-

    BACKUP YOUR SITE BEFORE YOU START
    Download the VB 3.8.7 package form the Members Area
    Unzip It
    Close your Forums
    Upload all files in the upload directory to your server in whatever directory your old files were (Overwrite old files)
    Delete the /install/install.php file
    Browse to /install/upgrade.php, put in your customer # and run the script
    Press Next/Continue until it finishes
    Once it completes go to the Admin CP and revert the templates it tells you to in the Admin CP news area (Warning: reverting will lose customization.)
    Open Forums
    Check if modifications still work (if any)
    Test everything
    Open Forum
    Enjoy
