I there,

I currently have 2.3.1 on my site, however I have just downloaded 2.3.2, and made the change to the config.inc.php file, to upgrade, can I just overwrite my guestbook folder on my site, will I lose my messages/entries?

I cant seem to figure out where these messages are held, just incase i want to back them up?

Any hlp would be great?

Thanks
Darren

Themessages are stored in your database so you are safe to overwrite your existing files. You can even keep your existing config.inc.php

Thanks for that Carbonize, quick response!!

Any idea why the image verification is not in this new version, also is this a 100% working method to get rid of the spamming issues?


Thanks again

The image verification is a mod that Freddy and myself created and is not an official part of the guestbook.

GD is what PHP uses to create images. It is required to create the image containing the letters for the image verification.
