Ditto!

Be afraid, be very afraid!

No, seriously, you need your own test environment, with PHP and Perl to try things out first, and have backups.

This in no way reflects in Fastforwards skills, in my book this IS the best and most elegant vb hack I ever installed. The reason you should be careful is that this hack requires significant changes in you database since it essentially adds a functionality VB never was designed to do. And it does it very well. It doesn't add a little thing here and there like most hacks, it adds a LOT.

So, if you know your stuff, go ahead. If you're not sure, ask first.
