I try to upgrade a testing site (PN 0.75 + FRA language pack)
I follow the steps of the 'manual.txt' and don't forget to set 'english' language by default.
I 'upgrade' until this :
Code
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid mysql result resource in d:\site\easyphp1-8\www\site\install\update_functions.php on line 33
Impossible de mettre à jour _nuke_stories (=Cannot upgrade _nuke_stories)
Have you got any idea ?
(I search for the _nuke_stories in my DB, it exists ! :wink: )

Your not followed the instructions in manual.txt carefully enough. Step 9 says you only need to run install.php if upgrading from .723 or earlier.
manual.txt
9) If upgrading from versions earlier than .723 Run install.php from your
browser to start the installation process. The exact URL depends on your site,
but for example if your site is www.foo.com and PostNuke is installed in the
'bar' directory then the URL will be
http://www.foo.com/bar/install.php
Follow the instructions in the installation script and when prompted for
either a new install or an upgrade select 'upgrade', then pick the version of
PostNuke (or another Nuke variant) which you wish to upgrade from. The rest of
the procedure should be automatic.

I miss that step...Thanks...but i may say that the install manual is not enough comprehensible for newbies...
All right, the need to upgrade/activate modules was successfull except for
- Past_Nuke
- PNphpBB2
- Template
I decide to install PostNukeBLue Theme...Very awful.
Many weird things happen :
- new fonts height (and different heights sometimes),
- news that are sticked to the borders,
- Unknown blocktype problems : ephem! & random! (but I've got an idea on that => I erased the 'random' link in the Web Links MODULE files),
- Site name & slogan are not displayed,
- where's the 'About : [article author] / About : [news topic]' block ?
- the borders parameters around the news must be in vacation...
- the footer is aligned to the left...
- the list in the Main Menu has changed (in a bad way)...
Well, it looks like I need to modify something... :wink:

Firstly read the release annoucnment for the main list of changes as this explains a number of the things you've posted e.g. menu lists are now a proper list so you can use CSS to style it.
Most seem like small changes to the postnukeblue theme that aren't necessarily problems just design preferences. The theme has changed a little that's all. You can modify the theme via the templates found in the templates directory of the theme.

For those who get nasty fonts height in the new PostNukeBlue theme.
NOTE : copy your original folder and work on this copy.
Modify these lines in 'style.css' (./themes/PostNukeBlue/style) that way :
Code
/**** Titles ****/
H1,
.pn-pagetitle {
font-size: 14px;
The differences are clear !!
The borders parameters around the news now work fine...and it's prettier !

re Mark's comment that the manual.txt for 0.760 saying that running install.php is not required for upgrades from 0.723 or later, yes that is clear, but I think the problem is that the manual.txt for 0.750 (which is the last release version and hence the one that most users will have considered upgrading to) DID say that install.php was required for upgrades from 0.723, 0.726 etc. and it would have been helpful to draw people's attention to the fact that 0.760 doesn't require this when 0.750 did.
In fact, I'm not sure that install.php WAS necessary for upgrades from 0.723 to 0.750, because this step didn't seem to do anything??! (After having problems upgrading a couple of sites from 0.723 to 0.760 because getting gallery and postcalendar to work with 0.760 seems very difficult, I had to restore the 0.723 sites from backup and then upgraded them to 0.750, and whether install.php was run or not seemed to make no difference).
