Upgrading from 2.0.18.3

I really need to update Vanilla as it is starting to fill up with spam. I can't really figure out how to stop it and think upgrading to the latest version would help. Can someone point to to some easy instructions so I can get up to date? Thank you!

    I guess you didn't look in Documentation:

    The upgrade probably won't help with Spam issues, but searching this forum for 'spam' will give you a good idea of what might help.

  • There are multiple ways to upgrade. One of them is in the documentation. As long as you make backups, it's ok. Upgrade to 2.0.18.8 first...


    Take a look at all these discussions tagged with 'spam':

    Install the BotStop plugin and Peregrine's registration logger plugin.
    Rely on Akismet and StopForumSpam plugins and last but not least : Your registration, to what is it set at the moment?
