This allows me to make more use of the mysql_insertid function which is obviously far more efficient than re-looking up the key of inserted records manually.

Fastforward, thanks for a great hack! I installed on a test directory and it's running great, no problems.
I have a question regarding upgrades to future versions of vb, like 2.0 none beta etc. I have no problems updating php, but I'm pretty green in sql stuff, I can just do the basics, backup, retore, etc.
If I install the latest usenet hack on vb2 beta 3, what would be involved in updating the database to future vb release? I don't mind losing the usenet posts, but don't want to lose members posts and information?
