Many thanks, I would love to upgrade if I could, but it is far too complicated for me to do that. The explanations on here and elsewhere pre-supposes that anyone wishing to upgrade know all about MediaWiki and php. I don't. I did manage to download and install MediaWiki and Wamp onto my pc, but I had nothing to loose if anything went wrong. The difference now is that by attempting to upgrade I could loose my wiki, and I cannot contemplate that,

Kind regards and thank you for the warning.
