    From 3.8.6 to 3.8.7?

    Before I do something wrong I better ask.

    We are running 3.8.6 Patch Level 1
    I downloaded 3.8.7 Patch Level 3

    Can I just do the patch by overwriting the files or do I need to do some king of upgrade as I am going from 3.8.6 into 3.8.7?

    Thanks for help

      Thank you.
      Do I first upload the new files and overwrite the old ones on my server and then run the upgrade script?

      And still being quite novice. Is it a tricky thing to do with risks involved?

        Yes, Upload vBulletin 3.8.7 files then run the upgrade script, that topic will help you to make your forums more secure

          Thank you.
          Uploaded the files from the Patch and ran the upgrade script
          No errors
          However in the footer of the forum it still says 3.8.6 but when I go to the admin panel it says 3.8.7 patch level3

            You need to download the FULL 3.8.7 PL3 package, not just the patch. Then run the upgrade script again.

              Yes that's right, I understood that wrong "I downloaded 3.8.7 Patch Level 3", I think you downloaded entire vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3 files not the patch only.

                To be clear on this.... To go from 3.8.6 to 3.8.7 PL3 requires the full package and the running of the upgrade script. You cannot simply upload the patch, that's for people who are already running 3.8.7.
