Wow! This site has really grown. I have version 1.2 (yes, I'm that old). I'd like to reinstall (don't have the time to upgrade right now) my 1.2 and use my existing DB. I don't remember exactly how difficult the install was, back then, but I'm thinking a reinstall with old DB must be pretty straight forward.
Yes - No ?
Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow you're right, that's an old version! About 7 years to be exact. So you just want a fresh set of files and to keep your database. That should be straight forward. You can download v1.2 again from the main site by going to 'Download -> Old Versions' in the menu. It's a long time since I looked at that version but I'd think it would just be a case of deleting all the files (do a backup first) and replacing them with the fresh files. You'll want to enter your database details in /includes/db/connect.php and add your email signature in the /includes/emails/ files. I can't think of anything else but let me know if you have any issues.
Have

Thanks for the quick reply, Steven. I'll get on it. BTW, it ran perfectly for 6-1/2 years. A couple of months ago, it just fell apart. I'm sure I messed something up, just could never find out what it was.
Take care,
Tom

Got it up and running. Just had to rem this out:
<?php
/*
if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '".$mysql_table_prefix."comments'"))) {
echo "<span class='fail'>";
echo "The programme appears to have already been installed.";
echo "</span>";
die();
}
*/
?>
Your code didn't try to recreate the db tables so all was well.
Thanks again.
BTW: does the DB schema stay the same for some of the newer updates?
