    Hello Guys,

    I am running a fourm on phpBB 2.0.22 with 332 members, now i want to upgrade it to newest version of phpBB.

    How can i do that?
    How much time is required to urgrade to new one....
    Do i have to make the existing one offline, then upgrade?

    Thanks in advance.

    1) Not long, depends how quick you are.

    2) Yes take it offline, if people are posting to the DB while your tables are updating it can crash and corrupt your database.
