Upload all files out of Upload folder overwrite old ones, change config.php.new to config.php and edit database details same as config.php now then go to http://www.YourName.com/forum/install/upgrade.php or whatever link is and there you go

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.

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.phpJoe
