Modifying database = potential upgrade problems later?
If I install a hack that changes the database - either by adding a new table, changing an existing one, or whatever - will that cause problems when upgrading to VB3? I mean, what's going to happen to the new tables that VB3 isn't aware of?
I want to install the Thread Preview Hack on my web site. But I would need to run a php file that changes tables in my database. I don't want to do that if it's going to cause problem with VB3 upgrade later on.
I have no problems implementing the hacks - I've played with scripts for years, but I don't know a lot about the MySQL databases and the upgrade processes. Thanks for any help!
