I had vB 113 and the older poll hack from october. Cant remember the version number. I upgraded to vB ver.114. During this time I also moved servers. Worst came to worst... I created a back up of the vB data base. On the new server I installed 114 instead of doing a 113 to 114 upgrade. I imported the tables and all.
Now yesterday I download the latest release of Poll Hack. I read the intructions not thinking about theolder verison I had installed befor ethe server move and before the 114 upgrade. I follow the instruction for the 114 install cause I did not see in the MySQL tables any of the tables that were there from when I did the install of Poll hack on 113.
I get the following error running makepolltables.php
Editing post table ...

Ok now the fun part. After reviewing the tables and not finding any reference to Poll hack install. I decided to try the upgrade from older version as in the instructions. Still I get the error as above.
I am lost. I need some where to be pointed.
Anyone?

this means you already have the poll hack installed (at least in the db). Do you have a poll table and does it contain anything? Try running the upgrade script in stead...
