TinyIB - A Lightweight and Efficient [Image Board](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard) Script
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
**Got database? Get speed.** Use [MySQL](http://mysql.com) or [SQLite](http://sqlite.org) for an efficient set-up able to handle high amounts of traffic.
|
|
|
|
**No database? No problem.** Store posts as text files for a portable set-up capable of running on virtually any PHP host.
|
|
|
|
To allow new threads without requiring an image, see the [Text Board Mode](https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB/wiki/Text-Board-Mode) page.

For demos see the [TinyIB Installations](https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB/wiki) page. [](http://githalytics.com/tslocum/TinyIB)

Updating
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
1. Obtain the latest release.
|
|
- If you installed via Git, run the following command in TinyIB's directory:
|
|
- `git pull`
|
|
- Otherwise, [download](https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB/archive/master.zip) and extract a zipped archive.
|
|
2. Note which files were modified.
|
|
- If **settings.default.php** was updated, migrate the changes to **settings.php**
|
|
- Take care to not change the value of **TINYIB_TRIPSEED**, as it would result in different secure tripcodes.
|
|
- If other files were updated, and you have made changes yourself:
|
|
- Visit [GitHub](https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB) and review the changes made in the update.
|
|
- Ensure the update does not interfere with your changes.
