I tried to install beta6 over beta5...
No luck. Could not get upgrade to work. Gave me a fatal error in a module.
I decided to throw away everything.

Now when I do a fresh install of beta5 again will I be able to use my old database ?
Or do I have to build everything from scratch.

Please help

Always make a database backup before upgrading, so you can get back to the old situation.
Leave "Create Tables (Warning: Deletes existing data)" unchecked during install to use the old database.
If there is a beta6 compatible version of the module causing the error, uploading that will solve the issue.

I did make a backup.

All worked except my menu bar

So I copied my content pages to a texteditor and deleted my who webroot.
Installed 0.13 fresh with empty database and started all over.

I think I'll stick to the released software and skip the beta's

Unless they are needed for security reasons.
