How do you upgrade your Vbulletin?
I usually delete the forum software on my server, Then edit the config file to your needs obviously (in the newly downloaded software), reupload, + any images you had... DUnno whether theres simply ways to do it. probablyQuote:

What happens if i deleted the /install folder?
Just upload the files over the top except the image folders as it never changes and you'll more than likely delete stuff you didn't want to and don't edit the config again, leave the old one as that never changes neither and then run the installer.

Make sure you delete /install/install.php! =]
it might be a good idea to read the vbulletin manual
I download the new vb files without the images
then open up the zip, an send over all the new vb files, set to overwrite on the ftp. Leave it all, then run upgrade ;)
There is no need to change config.php.new, it's simply renamed so that if people do it like me it doesnt overwrite your config.php
