There are a lot of members that are posting support requests regarding problems during upgrading their suites. To prevent more topics from being opened in the support section, I'll have a guide on how to upgrade your forum correctly. Things Needed; Shared Hosting or Virtual Server Knowledge of Cpanel's File Manager Follow Instructions Instructions; Head over to the IPS Community Suite and download the latest WF version - https://webflake.sx/files/category/147-ips-community-suite-44/ Once you have downloaded the latest version, log into your hosting control panel. Find and open file manager. Go into the directory your IPS Suite is in - This is usually public_html, /community/, /forum/, or /forums/. Click Upload. Select File. Find the IPS Suite archive you've downloaded from WF. Upload it. Once it has been uploaded, refresh the directory. You'll see the archive in your directory. Right click and click "Extract". All of the folders from the archive will be extracted into your directory. It will be in a folder with the title of the archive to keep it organized. Go into the folder inside your directory. Holding the Ctrl key, click all the files. Once they have all been highlighted, drag them into the directory your IPS Suite is in. The old files will be overwritten. You will have to change the permissions of the following directories to 777 - /applications/, /datastore/, /plugins/, /uploads/, and /uploads/logs/ - To change the permissions, right click on those directories in the file manager and click Change Permissions. Check all of the check boxes. Open a new tab and enter your forum url into the address bar. Before you hit enter, type the location of your IPS ACP followed by the upgrade directory - /admin/upgrade/ Using an administrator account, follow the upgrade steps. Instruction GIFs;

These are both default features of IPS 4.2 and 4.3. Reactions and Recommended posts, respectively.

yes friend version 4.3 better

THe backend is a much better upgrade than what they have done on the frontend. I also found there to be a slight but noticable speed increase.
