I actually running phpBB2 Plus 1.52 based on phpBB 2.0.12

In these days i had some problems with hackers and i wanna try to upgrade to solve the problem

Is it possible using last upgrade (from 2.0.17) for my forum or i gotta reinstall the last version of phpbb2 plus and restore database after?in this case,a db from 2.0.12 is totally compatible with new version???

thx and sorry for noob question!

make a backup of all youre data (web+DB)

now use from latest Plus@2.0.18 install/update_to_latest.php file to update youre database

then upload all files from new plus (DON`T overwrite youre config.php!!) so youre board was up to date
