[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1276297, member: 141969"] Hmm. The watched-status flags are stored in the database, and the database is retained when you perform an update-install of MP (i.e. [i]not[/i] a first-time install). So I would have expected the watched-status flags to be retained. Caveats: (1) If you update from a very-old version of MP, there might have been a change to the database structure, which resulted in the watched-status flags being lost. (2) If your watched-status flags are maintained by an MP plugin, it is possible that their watched-status flags are not retained (depending on how the author of the plugin coded the update process). I don't use plugins, so don't know whether this might be the case. I would suggest creating an image of the drive containing the MP application (usually the "C:" drive) [i]before[/i] updating MP. If you again lose the watched-status flags, you can at least restore the image that you created, to get back to where you were. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
