Upgrading to 2.0 RC3

[iamher]

Hi guys, just upgraded to 1.1.12.. but figured while I'm at it.. might give 2.0 RC3 a go.. so this might be a dumb question, but do I upgrade to RC3 just like I did with 1.1.12 - download the large upgrade files, then upload them via the package manager in the Admin CPanel??


Doing a back up of the forum now, so this will be done in the next few days!


btw - I've never actually done all this myself before.. always had a techie do it for us - i.e the installation of the forum, all the mods and such.. and I'm finding all the info I need via this forum! So thanks to those who volunteer their time to help us all out!

Use large upgrade package, overwrite everything

then browse to http://domain.tld/upgrade.php

Is that stable?? We've only just opened our forum, so we don't have a lot of members yet (still waiting for a lot to come over from our old one)... so I should just go to RC4 then?

Thank you S-Ace. I was going to upload it to a second forum and have a bit of a play before I overwrote our current one.

You should go with RC4 if you have installed RC3 already. Else, just install RC4.
