Upgrade from 5.30:

1. Update EVERYTHING but webbbs_settings.pl in folder /cgi-bin/bbs53x/lib and all it's subfolders


2. Open webbbs_settings.pl included in 5.31 download. At the very end there are a couple of variables new since 5.31. Copy these variables over to your esisting webbbs_settings.pl file which you did not upgrade in #1


3. Upload new icons:
   upload everything found in the download package in /public_html/webbbs/icons to the appropriate place on your server


4. New default stylesheet:
   Upload the default stylesheet /public_html/webbbs/css/webbbs.css to your server and replace the old one.
   Do NOT reupload the file /site.css, keep your existing one as it's supposed to hold your site's non-default CSS!


5. Done.

Who's supposed to upgrade?
Everybody running versions older than 5.30 .... that's a nobrainer!
Everybody running 5.30 who likes search engines to index his/her forum(s)

Enjoy!
