Hi,  
I just got a message on my new discourse forum to upgrade to the latest version. On proceeding to the installation (on the black console), i saw some error messages that i dont really remember about an older version. The forum is still up, but when i _again_ try to click “click here to upgrade”, it takes me to the [www.website.com/admin/upgrade](http://www.website.com/admin/upgrade) , which says everything is up to date, but [www.website.com/admin](http://www.website.com/admin) still says there are upgrades available.

Whats going on?  
Thanks
