After running into major troubles with a failed update and now a messed up db I took some time to to search for interesting information, and here it is ... I even can't get a fresh install going which never used to be an issue before. - Half way through installation the fatal comes, lol.
Conclusion, mySql messed up (or messing up) db coincidence? Now I'm not sure.
I don't think that the programmers and coders (boonex) here make so many mistakes to leave hundreds of site-owners confused and upset.
I always thought, and after I found this even more, that there must be something else. When you do some search you'll find even more. Of course 80 - 90% is conspiracy theory of all the results you find online, but there are also facts that can't be denied.
Trust me, you don't need to be CIA to get information from idiots.
