Hello!

I have an old version of WSN Links (3.05) with 250 links. I have been modding my WSN Links files alot... No I want to start all over again with a fresh install :-)

Is it possible to download a fresh copy of WSN Links, install it and then import the data from my old database? Or is it possible to update my old db and make it work with the latest version of WSN Links.

Best regards
Mikael

I've just done that. How I did it was to simply upload the latest version, over writing all files, and then ran upgrade.php.

Follow the upgrade instructions in the readme file. A so-called "clean" install using the old database is exactly the same byte for byte as an upgraded install, except it wastes more of your time.
