That is a classic 1.0.9 :smile: I think there may be a 1.0.10
To get up to date with the latest of 1.1.8 is going to take a few actions. What I generally do / suggest is:
- backup, backup, backup. Honestly from SSH this is two easy commands, one for your files and one for your db
- uninstall all addons (leaving of course any database stuff they have put in place)
- reset the site to the default theme (you will need to manually update your theme to the new construct, that is what will take the most work (depends on how modified it really is) from my experience
- get the full install package of 1.1.8, unzip over your old forum, overwriting the files
- navigate to the site, it should bring up the upgrade script on its own. Run it to make the needed changes to the DB. When complete let it remove the install directory.
- At that point you should have a functioning 1.1.8. Now you must get the latest versions of all the addons you have installed. Most are on the addon site, others are in their respective threads on this site. If you can't find them, ask for help.
- Download and Install them one at a time, make sure things work.
- Begin the process of upgrading your theme

Oh, I managed to get it done.
Took a bit of work, but it is running fine now.
