belinea,
Happy to hear it's working!! Please speak up if you have any other troubles. Like the readme says, I've never written a bugless first release so that's why I list the file as a "beta" for now. The only way I'll know it's really ready is to hear it from you folks.
I wonder if your first trouble had to do with any caching or cron stuff?? For example I think vB has an option that will only update attachments and/or attachment views on a time schedule .... as opposed to "immediately". My forum is small so I use no-cache headers and and most of my options are set to immediately update .... so this could maybe explain why I haven't encountered an issue like yours yet.
laycomp,
I think the best way to import old data from My and/or Commish's old hack is to just let the data sit exactly where it is until I make a "product update" to import the data for you automatically.
Yes, this means the data won't be available for a "period of time" while I learn more about creating install/uninstall packages ... but I figure that's a small price to pay for safety. Eventually WE WILL get it imported. I'd rather see you go maybe a month without the data than to see it imported now and get messed up and/or unrecoverable.
If I had to take a guess how long??
I'd say chances are good I'll figure it out before vb350 goes gold.
But that is NOT a promise.
Safety comes first in my book.
