The posts are stored in the database. If there were pics, they may be stored in a directory?

You upgrade the database, don't delete it. Do a search on this forum for upgrade. Jam'n has written some good instructions.

Make a back up of your current database using phpMyAdmin or whatever your host provides. Download www.carbonize.co.uk/install.zip and extract it. Up load the guestbook 2.3.1 files to your site, overwriting 2.2. Upload my install.php file to the guestbook folder overwriting the existing one. run the file by going to it in a web browser. You will get some error messages that I am trying to track down but 2 people who have used it so far have said it worked.
