straight to 4.7.2. The reason it's recommended to do each and every
incremental is that more people are doing it. Historically some version
releases prior to 4.5 you had to occassionally add SQL tables manually
Since then updates have just gotten better and better as the contributing devs
see improved 'safe' ways to do things.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>I am not sure I understand. What's the difference, really, as
long as the list is accurate?<BR><BR>My concern is there is always a bunch of
problems that crop up with each of these security releases, and I am still on
4.7.0. So, the provided patches don't work. I don't know how to
use the patch tools, I am sure I could, but my program list takes up my whole
screen... and it's extra wide. It is recommended with each of
these security updates to upgrade to the version before it... that would
mean 3 mini upgrades for me. To skip all that, I only have two options,
overwrite everything with the new install, or see which files have been
changed, and upload only those. <BR><BR>It may not be sensible, from the
programmer's standpoint, but I don't feel very secure in simply overwriting
everything. I don't have any control over it?, is close. Plus, I
can't find any disadvantages in just uploading select
files.<BR><BR>Anisa.<BR>sleepy.<BR>ooo, washing machine is shaking...
