Updated version - New features & bugfixes

This release adds a few options and fixes some of the bugs discovered over the last few days.

• Added option in control panel for eliminating usenet users and posts from the stats.
• Added option in control panel for eliminating usenet posts from the 'Get New Posts' search.
• Added option in control panel to allow multiple iterations of replies load per batch run to avoid staggling posts left in the article table when pulling history or large batches.
• Removed hardcoded regexes that were removing things like 'fred wrote in message <123213@news.news.com>'. This should now be entered in your 'Replacements' in the 'Spam Control' section of the control panel.
• Corrected usenet user post count when importing usenet users
• Corrected miscounting of replies in the forum table. (this was confusing vB and causing the next thread link to display when it shouldn't)
• Disabled the refresh in the control panel after updates to prevent the 'cant send header' errors when gzip or buffered output is disabled.
• Prevented orhan replies with the subject of '(no subject)' being threaded incorrectly alongside non-related articles with no subject. They are now not loaded at all unless there is a reference in the header.

Download version 2.4 for vB 2.0b3

There are upgrade instructions for anyone who has installed v2.3. There are only two places in which to change code and a few SQL statements to run. I'll be around for a few hours if anyone installs it tonight and runs into problems. But it's straightforward enough... trust me

Both the newnews.pl and the usenet.php need replacing with this new version

The latest version of this hack will always be in this first post of the thread.
