Bleistivt, I did it and now I get a white home page with this:
Fatal error: Class 'Gdn' not found in /homepages/10/d344992794/htdocs/nothingchinese/bootstrap.php on line 41
Linc, did that before I even posted this question, but, I've done it again and also verified that .htaccess is correct (I run the forum, the 2.0.18, I think) on other domains and have compared the two .htaccess files. They are the same.

Verify you have uploaded all the files from the package to your webserver. Check if the directory /lib/core contains anything/exists.
I ran /utility/structure, got a list of things needing to be changed, ran the script, rescanned, ran the script and get this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'alter table GDN_Tag
add unique index UX_Tag (Name, CategoryID)' at line 4
This seems more and more like you accidentally installed some other version like 2.2 at some point. These 'DisplayAs' and the Tag index SQL issues are classic indicators of flip-flopping between branches. If you don't have content on the forum, consider starting over with a clean install.
@peregrine sql is being run on my 1&1 shared server so I have no idea in which mode it is running. Maybe you can help. I've searched 1&1 help but there is no mention of strict at all.
@Bleistivt@Linc@peregrine@vrijvlinder Thank you all. I'm glad I tried this update with a forum which didn't really have any content. I have two other forums which do have content. I can do a clean install of this forum but am now worried that if I try to update the other forums, they will be lost as well. When I uploaded the 2.1.6 files, FileZilla showed them all as successfully uploaded.
I will do a clean install and see how it goes. Thanks for all the help.
Note that sometimes Filezilla will fail uploading all the files if there are server timeouts. I have had to upload twice because of this so make sure to upload folder by folder not the entire application at once.
@vrijvlinder OK. I thought that if I requeued the failed uploads that I'd be in good shape.
If I use 1&1's phpMyAdmin to "Import" the database that I exported before starting this upgrade, will it join that database with the existing one, which may have been messed up by this whole upgrade process, or will it just replace it?

Good morning, everyone. Linc, you just mentioned /utility/update and I don't have that directory! Hmm...
It's not a directory any more than /discussion is. You enter that URL to your forum, and it performs the operation requested (a database update).

@JimD Delete the .ini files in your cache folder, and verify your .htaccess file is uploaded and correct.

/library/core exists and contains 64 files
I uploaded /library again and now I get something. You're welcome to check at http://nothingchinese.com
I have lots of errors being shown.
I tried the update and it failed. It says, Need to re-index theme cache, need to re-index plugin cache.
if those are the two messages you get it is normal
run /utility/structure several times and see if you get successful or failed.
don't worry about these two messages.
Need to re-index theme cache, need to re-index plugin cache.
also turn off debugging by changing to
$Configuration['Debug'] = FALSE;
and if you changed index.php re-copy the one from your source.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

disable all your plugins except htmlawed
disable tagging plugin.
instead of saying you did "all" things.
try one step at a time.

then report back exactly which steps you are doing from this point on.
are you running sql in strict mode.

@JimD upload everything again, not just /library. If it wasn't complete in the first place, that suggests your upload was incomplete.

Ok

we seem to be circling.
I would as the previous posters recommended.
start over
fresh download of 2.1.6 core.zip
clean database or one from backup prior to upgrade.
after you start over.
disable all plugins except .htmlawed
change to default theme.
see release notes for instructions and read the readme in the installation as well. Do both
