Hey Folks :D

Any help much appreciated.

User merge v1.0.2;
What styles do you currently have installed? None, default prosilver only
What language(s) is your board currently using? Engilsh
Which database type/version are you using? MySQL(i) 10.0.36-MariaDB-cll-lve
What is your level of experience? Experienced with PHP and phpBB
What actions did you take (updating your board; installing a MOD, style or extension; etc.) prior to this problem becoming noticeable? Updating from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 using the automatic update package method
Please describe your problem. Everything appears to update just fine, no errors. When the update process finishes, the version check shows the current version still sitting at 3.2.2 in a red message box.

I think the update worked as the enhanced privacy and terms links in the footer have been added. It just seems the database hasn't been updated.

Updating from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 using the automatic update package method
This may be the problem. People should not use auto update package, but full package.

Thanks :)

Yup, I've seen a few comments about that since I've been searching for an answer to my current problem. I'll be doing that from now on, but for now I'm hoping there is a fix for this.

If we upgrade using the full package won't that wipe out any changes even small ones as well as installed add-ons?

Do a file replacement. It shouldn't hurt anything, but if you make backups, you can always go back if something goes wrong. Knowledge Base - Updating 3.2.x

no, it won't wipe out any "add ons" if you mean extensions.

it will wipe out any changes you made to any files including the prosilver files.
however, you shouldn't be editing any of the core files in the first place. that is what extensions are for etc.

if you follow the instructions properly you will not lose anything during an update. you replace most of the old files with new ones except for the few mentioned in the update instructions.

Yup, that worked a treat. Thanks very much. :D

I would say though, I couldn't remember the simple things like how to change my logo and adding in my AdSense to the areas compliant with Google! It's been a while since I've needed to do that, complete mind blank for ages :shock:

All good, I found everything eventually.

Thanks for the help :D
