As much as I love this hack I'm a bit worried to go live with it, I've really only been testing. What happened is that I had an old version in my test server. Spent 2-3 weeks away from this hack, upgraded to vb 2.03 and came here to install the upgrade. My version was already not mentioned in the upgrade path so I had to kind of figure it out myself. I did a new install but had to manually delete a bunch of fields and now it's not quite working...on telnet I can run newnews.pl once it says "killed" and the second time it seems to work, though I haven't seen new messages posted.

There's no log file generated from cron so I think cron just gets the killed message each time. Maybe there was an issue w/ the way I upgraded but I worry that once it's production and my users get used to it, will I have to follow this thread every day to make sure I will be able to upgrade in the future? Will new releases of vb be as big a pain as this one was.

NOW PLEASE, don't get me wrong!!! This is not meant as criticism of the hack. This is the best hack EVER created for vB in my opinion. It's too good! and the support of it is too good. It gets updated so often and that's my worry, will I be out of the loop if I don't follow this thread forever?
