i thought about doing what you said too Jdoedtaman but problem with manual fix is that the next time there's upgrad or you run a patch the new version runs into problems in terms of the new upgade finding parts of the script or the field in the dataase isnt there anymore etc etc...
its looking for something which isnt there anymore and your back a problem site again.

I'm speaking from experience running dolphin in the past thats whay i try try and try not to put any mods into my site or try and see more not modify anything. done it in the past so for this reason i try and hold back from modifying the script.
