From what I've read u shouldn't install the new version straight over the top of a board that has added extra profile fields.
On my forums I had the avatar hack installed which was the only hack I used that added extra profile fields.
What I did was firstly turned off avatars and updated threads thru cp. Then upgraded from 5.47 to 5.47d to take out ALL my previous hacks and replace those hacked files with fresh 100% UBB written files. Then I ran CCs wonderful script (the one above) to remove all traces of the avatar code in my member files.
From what I've read upgrading whilst having a hacked board could be dangerous.
