What's the easiest way to do a clean upgrade of your site? As in bring all photos etc... But not the 3rd party 3.4.7 apps?

I would have thought removing everything but the upload folder and global_conf.php and then uploading IPS4.

Probably worth testing though... Before you do it for real.

Yeah, I'm hoping that it's going to be that simple.

Yes delete everything but uploads and config_global.php file this is how you are required to upgrade I do beleave 

What about the folder with the smileys? It is needed if you have custom smileys?

As far as I know you don't need the public dir seeing as it is a completely new system

​Don't do THAT!!!

You can only delete the Public folder after the upgrade.

So delete everything minus Uploads, Public and conf_global.php.

Upload IPS4 and Upgrade. Then you can delete the Public folder.

​Once you upgrade all smiies will be converted to the new file system. and there is no point in having the public folder because the skins won't work. 

Ok, I think I am going to make a copy of my forum folder first and then remove the unwanted folders before upgrading. I would actually prefer to set up my smilies again so losing them wouldn't be an issue for me.

But if you delete the folder before you upgrade, there will be no smilies to convert
