 * Allen,
 * I saw your post about having limited people interested in beta testing. I have
   been using your product for about a year and keeping it up-to-date. I downloaded
   your Beta to help you out (didn’t know how to contact you to let you know).
 * I have an issue with the new version. For some reason, when the plugin is active,
   it deletes information from my website. It removes all of my images and deletes
   other records from my databases (I have wp-invoice installed and it deletes all
   of my invoices). It appears to happen when your plugin attempts to clean out 
   old posts per the defined retention policy.
 * I would love to keep beta testing, but I had to disable the plugin until we figure
   this out. Other than this one issue, everything else is working brilliantly. 
   I have tested many of the different shortcodes and display options, etc.
 * Thanks!

 * July 20th is when it was downloaded/installed. Subsequently removed on Wednesday
   of that week after working with hosting provider to determine how files and database
   records were getting deleted.
 * I had to restore my website from backup 3 days in a row. 🙂
 * Just haven’t had time to reach out to you.

 * ok..I found a bug a few weeks ago that might have cause this unfortunate deletions…
   this was fixed in a version I put up probably after when you downloaded it.

 * Forgive me, but what is the best way to upgrade the beta to the new beta? I don’t
   want to lose my settings etc as part of the upgrade if possible.
 * Thanks!
