Before you upload the new forum software, disable all your plugins. Trust me, this will save you a loootttt of headaches and stress. Just disable them, overwrite your forum software with the new files, and then go back and activate the plugins again one by one.
The problem is that once you upgrade, theres a 50/50 chance that some of the plugins may not work anymore... worse, they could break your forum and stop it from working. By using this method, you'll be able to proactively prevent this type of thing and at the same time you'll know which plugin breaks the forum. So if it's only 1 plugin that's causing the problem, you will know without having to stress.
Just fyi
