This error is strange the query doesn't seem wrong.
I don't understand why such an error would appear especially if you were doing an upgrade.
Did you do anything wrong ?

Yes I will but I wasn't able to do it last night and maybe not tonight.
Perhaps tomorrow morning.

Yes I know but this is an issue I didn't encountered during my tests so that's hard to know
well maybe that you didnt u didnt test the new verson long enough. anyway i live in the same timezone (denmark) as you andwould be more than happy to test ur version..
You have not followed install instrcutions carefully.
Readme says : Remove all chatbox files first (previous version), remove old products, and then do the fresh install.
Now two solutions to correct your mistake : either rebuild bitfields manually after having removed the old chatbox files from your directories (especially the one in the xml directory) or remove files and install product again.
