I have always found it easier to delete all but my modules and themes folders, back up my sql database, and then go with a clean install. Everytime, I have tried to upgrade I have ran into some sort of problem.
birdseed, I agree. I got the fixed file from Rob and installed it, but everyone needs something so much easier. I cannot wait for Rob's module to be done.
I would like to see this implemented in more modules myself. Say someone needs 20 posts before they can make use of some services. It could make some of the lurkers come out of lurk mode.
I have already emailed Robb for the fixed version, and I look forward for the more extensive friends list module. This is something I think is badly needed. Anyone else at work on modules llike this???
