    The old posts have been imported back into the database.

    In the process things may be a bit messed up.

    For instance there were a few recent member accounts that conflicted with the old database.

    That required the deletion of those accounts, which will have to be restarted.

    It's possible some things are not right.

    Everyone please check your posts and make sure everything looks right.

    If not, send me a PM with details.

    Note: Old PMs have not been imported yet.

    If things look right for ppl, we can try importing the latest posts & PMs.

    If not we can go back to the situation before the import of the old data.

    The accounts that were removed are:

    Ddharma
    stellar1dan
    sky2014
    jjgiles
    icee-man
    lampredi24
    okthen
    analbead
    dr.boing
    koi27

    If any of these ppl have older accounts, they may now be able to access them.

    If not PM me.

    Thanks for your patience.

    Besides a few issues with data that was posted during the transition, we seem to have done fairly well with the import of the old posts.

    I'm going to be out for the rest of the day, so I'll get to any remaining issues tomorrow.

    Enjoy the site!

    looks great to me, and chat works great on iOS

    thanks skip .. ive never ran a website before but i know computers and sometimes you do everything the way you know it should be done and everything is supposed to work but this time something gets broken, cuz sometimes there's a couple of "gotchas" that you didn't expect coming ;)

    keeping things the least convoluted as possible, temporary hacks can fix things temporarily .. of course sometimes the puzzle pieces just arent quite the right shape to fit nicely together and then there's nothing else you can do but get a little crafty ;)

    edit: having trouble editing post, it won't submit the new form until you click "use full editor", then "submit modified post"

    yup! But I swear I did not break it!! ;)


    Edit
    When I click on the image on the main page of one of my photos, this is what I get.

    Sorry, but that does not appear to be a valid image. If you arrived at this screen by following a link on this site, please notify a system administrator

    Permissions have now been reset for members and mods. I had mentioned this might need doing again after the old posts came in.

    Please report any issues with them via PM. :)

    Thanks for being so patient. It's coming together now.
