Updating Drupal Contrib (Non-Core) Modules
Forums
Contrib modules should always be put in /sites/all/modules (and NEVER in /modules or they will be lost when doing a core update).
Need to be logged in to website as admin.
Need an FTP client connected to server.

Drupal Site Testing
Forums
When I'm testing this stuff I have 3 browsers open: IE, Firefox, and Chrome.
Point each at new.redhillcc.co.uk. Have each one running as a different type of user:
1) On one log in as Alex (password test123) who has the 'contributor' role, i.e. he can create moderated content (events, photos, reports).
2) On another log in as adewebb (password test123) who has the 'moderator' role (but not the contributor role).
3) Don't log in, so you are running as an anonymous user.
