Trouble with Vanilla 1.1.10 Upgrade / Theme
Art_Weingartner

Hello all, kind of a unique set of questions here. We have a lot of fun using an older version of Vanilla (1.1.10) but now the theme has disappeared. I want to install 1.3 but I'm afraid of losing all the past discussions. How can I save all of our past stuff while still upgrading Vanilla? If that is not possible how can I re-install the themes or change the path where the themes are being looked for?
Here is our (currently mess of) a site: http://www.yaksunlimited.com/thestatusreport/
Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the community!
AFAIK, we don't deal with Vanilla 1.x at all. You might have better luck over at http://www.vanilla1forums.com/. It looks pretty dead.
Maybe @SubJunk could help you?

If you have a copy of your MySQL db you have all your users/discussions etc.
Make a copy of it, and back it up. (You can't be too careful)
You should then be able to use Vanilla Porter (see Addons) to export and import your Vanilla 1 db.
You should be able to just extract 1.3.0 over the top of your current installation. It never hurts to make backups first though. It's still much more stable than Vanilla 2 in my experience, but I stopped development because of a lack of users.
