Upgrading from 2.0.18.3

DesmanthusDesmanthus New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I really need to update Vanilla as it is starting to fill up with spam. I can't really figure out how to stop it and think upgrading to the latest version would help. Can someone point to to some easy instructions so I can get up to date? Thank you!

    I guess you didn't look in Documentation:

    The upgrade probably won't help with Spam issues, but searching this forum for 'spam' will give you a good idea of what might help.

    There are multiple ways to upgrade. One of them is in the documentation. As long as you make backups, it's ok. Upgrade to 2.0.18.8 first...
