Did this. No dice.

Well, at least once you get it fixed you'll be ready to go and have already done the upgrade.....

Doublechecked, looked fine. Did a copy and replace right out of instructions to be sure. Still nada.

Well, it seems like the posts are getting where they need to be, but for some reason the descriptions in particular are being neglected, and the template still seems like the best lead. Here is the contents of my articlebot_post template:

$article[description]

[b][url="$article[link]"]View Reference[/url][/b]

One possibility--make sure that you've placed the articlebot_post template into a style that you're actually using, i.e. your default style, or make sure that your style is a "child" style of the one with the articlebot_post template.
If your template was somehow not getting accessed, you would see exactly what you're describing--everything works except the post itself. Also, check the spelling of the template name and make sure you haven't botched that accidentally.

Here's where we have a lead. When I use phpMyAdmin to check the contents of articlebot_rss_cache the last thing in the table says...

rsschacheid=91
title=...And We're Back
dateline=1114918800

That's it. I see no descriptions.

This looks fishy.

No dice on this one, because the purpose of the articlebot_rss_cache is, I think, to keep track of already-posted articles, i.e. to avoid doubleposts.

The database error you saw when you tried to reinstall occurred because your old articlebot tables were still on your database. I should have mentioned that you need to drop those tables before reinstalling. However, if you're not that familiar with phpyadmin or MYsql, I would be careful and be sure to make a backup of your DB before you "fix" it

Anyway, I still think the best lead may be the template. Let me know if you get it.
