Upgrading mybb 1.6 -> 1.8 ?

Is it possible to upgrade mybb 1.6 to 1.8? without losing threads, Members etc?

Yes, download 1.8.x and then upload all of the files from the upload folder into the root of your FTP server.

From there, go to your website (with /install at the end) and follow the instructions.

Will that keep all threads etc?

What I did is I downloaded threads, users, posts, usergroups and so on, which I imported back into the empty 1.8.X database.

Just make sure you update your plugins.
