Ok today was the first trial of converting this forum to vBulletin. Sorry to say that not everything went as planned.

We were successful in converting all members, posts, threads, private messages, profile settings, avatars, and sigs. But there were a few complications.

First complication - when you try to login - it would say you are banned. I can fix this but I have to do each member manually and it'll take hours.

Second complication - You cannot see threads opened more than 30 days ago. I can fix that too manually, but again, this will take MORE hours.

Third complication - signature images only work for administrators and I have not found a way to fix that, the only problem I cant fix yet. So I am waiting for vb support.

Final complication - I cannot change everyones settings at the same time, I have to do it manually once again and can take me hours. Also it keeps saying I dont have authority to run sql queries so I am looking into that now.

This conversion will be delayed for sometime but we WILL convert to vbulletin soon enough. Forum maybe down tomorrow for same reason.

Thank you!

No, but it could've been that you added the Avatar during the 2 months that we lost? So it doesn't show up?
