Hello!
It is not that easy to update the SMF forum module, because on many webserver the /module permissions have problems and also some files of SMF itself were adjusted.
So of course you could try to update - but on your own risk.
What about the data (user/groups/messages/settings/etc.) when upgrading?

Due to that problems there should be no WB modules at all for any "independent" forum or similar.
Regards Michael
PS: Moved to "modules" forum.
