I decided to install version 1.05 which seems to be working generally quite well except for the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.3:

Invalid SQL:

                        oldurl,

                    ) VALUES (

                        'https://MYSITE/clear.gif'
                    );

What's interesting is that so far at least it is always the same image (see above) but different threads and your add-on is in fact correctly inserting clear.gif in those threads.

I'm on a tweaked dedicated server so I don't think the "MySQL server has gone away" is the usual problem of too many connections (persistent connections is off)... not sure what to make of this.

Any suggestions?

Is it a bad idea to be running version 1.05? (I didn't get a response to my previous question above.)
