WordPress plugin directory and autoupgrade mayhem!

Peoples! please! Do not use the automatic upgrade thing for plugins! Especially not if you didn’t update it manually in the past few months.

Please be aware that many changes are made over the past time (months/weeks) and chances are that when you use the automated upgrade thing for plugin you do more harm than good because of changes in how the data is stored. This is especially true for the Events and AdRotate plugin.

On the bright side; Both plugins pretty much have all the features they need and will not likely receive any new features that require changes in the database tables. So if you update manually this once, chances are you can update automatically from here on in!

yay!

Note that this does not apply for the RandImage plugin and Alternate Comment Form. These 2 do not have a database table.
