The upgrade code does not work properly without at least mySQL 4.0.4.
Except that it works fine on mySQL 3.
However, I
strongly recommend to upgrade mySQL, as newer versions give much better performance and include things like fulltext search, multitable updates (which is why the upgrade code does not work on mySQL 3), etc.

The
vBulletin setting for changing votes applies to
vBulletin (eg. threads), not to Journals.
Though I might consider such an option (I need a feature tracker ...)

You are not using Beta 1, or you are running customized templates => upgrade and/or revert templates.
