But I have also to admit that the last move was forced by a very brutal bug: Over night my statistics in v240 with up to 750.000 impressions a business day counted each impression and click exponential times higher than correct. A fallback to an older database was not possible. The daily cronjob for mysqldump dumped a broken database since the last weekly cleanup of raw statistics by oa. A simple upgrade was not possible: v242 did not want the tables of v240 (a simple job I did at least 10 times in the past). Now I have to use two installations to serve my clients with reports. One local with the datas before the crash and a virgin with new results after that. Both with a lack of a weekend and 3 business days. Hope this was not just bad luck. A good reason would be more calculabe. Best regards, TJ I do realy like Openads since its earliest days as phpAdsNew. But I have also to admit that the last move was forced by a very brutal bug:
