Keep in mind, even with the proper info above for the "set" version he is writing this hack for, still does not work out of the box. Well, it does kinda, if you use the exact version the author is using. However, even the instructions I had to work with, I was missing some strikes table and a few others.. I just skipped them. No harm done.

The only problem I've had with this hack is very minor --

When you have a Running board, with say 1000 members or posts and then begin this hack to a fresh board, the new board statistics do not reflect the old board.

ie: 1 Thread, 1 Post, 1 Members

Then I made a tweak to at least show who's online (I made old board and the new board look at the same `sessions` table, so now if there are 5 users on the old board, there is 5 users + how many users are on the new board. That works.

The problem we have is the "new fresh board" member count. It's only showing 1 member - Admin. However, now I've got to find a way to refresh this stats.. if possible.. to reflect what both boards show. I think it's some serilized data somewhere in the db. I'll figure it out soon enough.

well do you mind sharing how you got yours to work? I have tried many times and failed.
