Just an update. I will be discontinuing any further development of this plugin in the future.
I have, however, totally rewritten this plugin from the ground up as an application instead. Not only that, but I have removed some features as they are no longer required due to being in the core now, and plan to add more features in the future.
The first release will be a beta version for testing purposes. if you would like to help out, let me know, and I will send you a copy to play with.

In phpMyAdmin, select the database (if it is not selected yet), then go to the tab labelled “SQL”. You will see a field there where you can paste the the UPDATE and the ALTER TABLE code. Then just click OK. 

That is the correct response from mysql you would expect on running those. It should now allow you to do the upgrade. If you are still seeing those issues, please upload a fresh set of files from your client area, and run the upgrader from /admin/upgrade instead as its likely you are seeing a bug there

When you did a fresh install, did you install the latest version? If you did, you should run the upgrader so the database containing the backup of the previous version should be upgraded too so it can match the forum files version.
It is better to not delete everything, because that might cause errors especially with third party plugins/apps that result as installed but their files can not be found.
Can you post the error messages that you got as that can help in pinpointing the issues.

Have a good christmas. Absolutely dont attempt the "fresh install" route by the way. There is no such method, and you are likely to make things worse. I would revert that. If you are having issues with the files showing as not changed, thats what needs looking at

You would need to contact your hosting company regarding this issue. Its likely this is what has been causing you the problems. You are out of resource on your server

Hello. I have this same issue. When I tried to fix the database myself, it has now made the admin panel and site inaccessible.  Any advice?  I do not have server access and work through my server host for things outside the admin panel.  Currently, I am receiving a message that states
Resource Limit Is Reached
The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.

Thanks.  The host has cleared the resource limit, but now I'm seeing formatting text when I try to access the admin panel:

It looks like the host is just serving the raw files instead of parsing PHP properly.  The host needs to fix your instance to properly parse PHP files.  

If the only thing that has changed is what your hosting changed, I could start off by asking them to check their changes there

Thank you. I have reached out to them as of this morning with your suggestion. This is far beyond my level of expertise and if it cannot be resolved, I will have to just end my site and let my Invision license expire. It’s been a great run.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. If you are unsure on hosting items, are you interested in our cloud solution? We can help you get your site moved over for you if needed

Looks like you have the converter application installed but didn't upload the updated files for it. When downloading the zip from your client area there is a checkbox you need to select in order to include the Convert application in the download.
Re-download the zip with the checkbox selected and then upload again the files to your server. Once you do that the errors should all go away.

First, make sure that all the files mentioned in that screen are overwritten with those from the latest package. If you still will get the error, you should try and chmodd the aforementioned files. 

As mentioned by terabyte there. It looks like the converter checkbox simply hasnt been checked when downloading

I originally posted it as a bug report and was asked to post it as a suggestion here.

If you merge two posts... IPB does two things:

1. It merges the two threads without asking me which thread I want it to pick as the new parent one.
1. It kills the link of the second thread. It becomes 404.

What I want IPB to do is to ask me which thread I want to keep after the merge. And I want it to redirect the second thread to link to the merged thread.
