Thread:Project:Support desk/upgrading from 1.1.15 with bridge to smf/reply (11)

Using the old files with the new database might work for now, but it will break your system: When you try the update again in the future the update routine won't add the new columns (as they are already there) and - the real problem - it won't fill them with the necessary data. The longer you continue using the already updated DB with the old files, the bigger your problem will become.

Make sure that you update properly. See upgrade for a detailed step-by-step guide. Finish the update now!
