1. Use the Web Installer - the web installer is still experimental, but it is the quickest way to get BabbleBoard on your website. To use it, head to http://install.babbleboard.co.uk and fill in the fields, then hit submit. Within 2 minutes, BabbleBoard will have copied to your server and you can begin the database installation.

Hope you all had a good Christmas. Here is v1.1.5. Nothing spectacularly different from v1.1.4, but it's important you read this post carefully before upgrading/installing.

This update has a few minor changes, most noticeably the location and name of the stylesheet, the way javascript is called, and the way emails are sent.

Fresh Install of v1.1.5
There are two ways to do a fresh install of BabbleBoard on your server.

1. Use the Web Installer - the web installer is still experimental, but it is the quickest way to get BabbleBoard on your website. To use it, head to http://install.babbleboard.co.uk and fill in the fields, then hit submit. Within 2 minutes, BabbleBoard will have copied to your server and you can begin the database installation. This method will also attempt to CHMOD your directories so you won't actually need to manually edit any files or folders!
   
   
2. Download the zip file - You can also download the zip file from here and do things the "old fashioned" way.
   
   
   
   1. Download BabbleBoardv.1.1.5.zip from the link below.
      
   2. Unzip, and upload all contents to your forum directory.
      
   3. Navigate to yourdomain.com/path/to/forum/install.php
      
   4. Follow the on-screen instructions
      
   5. Remove/rename "/install.php" and "/bbupgrade.php" from your server.

1. Remove all the contents of the "/includes" folder apart from "/includes/config.php"
   
2. Remove the "/templates" folder and all its contents
   
3. Remove the scripts folder

1. Remove the "/images" folder and all its contents
   
2. Remove all the contents of the "/includes" folder apart from "/includes/config.php"
   
3. Remove the "/templates" folder and all its contents
