Are you overwriting your "albums" folder too? That's where all the images are stored for each album so if you update from the build, it'll be blank! I've always left the databases with the default zp_ to make sure the setup updates them okay and everything stays where it should be.
hi macalter
i did not get this one : with the default zp_ ??
ok, my database are the same, i may played around with the albums folders.
because i am following the " nightly build " so i am upgrading every few days.
my config file will always be the same as well because i am not playing around with database.
so what is the safest way to keep all albums folders and images + descriptions in place ????
