I have tried a few mods there all ready. I guess I just don't know what I am doing well enough. I think I will wait a till the instructions come out for the latest version 1.0.5 and do that. 1.0.4 looked easy enough, so I hope the 1.0.5 will be as well. Thanks again for your help.

If you need help, I have some time later this week. Is your forum established that you want to convert over?

My forum is set up. It doesn't have to many users or posts yet though. But I would like to keep the ones that are on there. Once there is some instrutions on the process of converting this new version I will give it a go then. I may look you up for some help then. Thank you for the offer. I am not sure on the back up part of my forum. I think I just export my database and then back up my forum via my ftp. I want to make sure I have my back up right before I proceed.

Yep download your full forum to a folder on your hard drive and you can back up the database easy enough in phpBB ACP. A lot of hosts let you back up via hosting CP but always find it easier doing it the first way.

As these are now outdated instructions for the last ModphpBB3 version, I am unsticking and locking this topic. New instructions coming in the next few days for 1.0.5 version.
