Hey i want to know how to update to 3.7.0 from 3.6.8 if i just upload 3.7.0 files will i lose all users ?

iv never done this befor so i need someone to tell me
 
You must uninstall all Mods and after that it is STRONGLY suggested you do a db back up before you upgrade.

When ready to upgrade read the instructions and follow them and do not deviate. I would suggest if you are un comfortable doing this then check here on the forum and im sure some will do it for you for a small fee.
 
The MODs are troublesome because they are very likely not to be compatible with 3.7.0. The upgrade is straight forward and you won't lose your member profiles but as suggested follow the instructions precisely for "upgrading". I think they say don't upload the install.php file but I usually just rename it so it can not run and use upgrade.php. I have done it several times without problems. The 3.7.0 attempts to update your custom style as well and though its not perfect, it is a lot better than previous upgrades.

HTH

DON'T FORGET TO BACK EVERYTHING UP FIRST!!!
