Upgrading my forum

[papaw]

I have lost my guru who took care of my forum, and I don't know how to fix the several functionalities that don't work, and how to upgrade the forum to the latest version. I am running 2.0.7 .

Please take a look here: https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Patching.  This should help you to patch your forum to the latest version.

Regarding the functionalities, please be more specific about the problems that you are encountering.

That is fine, but I am NOT savvy enough to handle FTP, etc. Is there anyone who can help me do these things? I can pay a small amount.

or you can post in the help wanted board and hire someone.

You can update your smf version through Administration center, you don't have to access via ftp client. It's very simple, just follow the steps as @Irisado write earlier. You can do this by yourself, it's not a racket science.

Download The Patch through The Admin Panel
When you enter SMF's Administration Center if a patch has been released you will be notified through a box "Update Available!". Selecting the link present in this box will automatically download the patch from the Simple Machines website and will bring you to the package manager.

Interesting forum.  Looks like everything's working, except attached images are missing.  If you need help, pm admin and ftp access (server/username/password) and I'll have a look.  Need to know what's not working.

If you're hesitant about giving a non-team member that kind of info (which you should be), you can trust Sir Osis.
