Title: Thinking of changing 1.0.7 to 1.1rc2
Post by: Mactom1796 on May 05, 2006, 11:59:57 AM
I use the 1.0.x version of TP on my forum and I plant to up grade the forum to 1.1rc2 but (then reinstall TP) and I want to keep my TP tables so will the upgrade and reinstall damage the data that would have to be refreshed from the pre upgrade back up or will the data be safe (i will back up anyway) ??

The upgrade should not make any of the content from what you have now diffrent.

If you use the upgrade package from SMF it should work just the same as before.

Yes, and update aswell - it will not take away from what you already have, however, it simply gives you more control and options.. ;)

As crip said. Make a complete backup for both the forum and the Database just in case something goes wrong.
