Whats up wit dat?


Am I reading that right? You had 210 posts which you think were odd? Some of mine might be a bit weird, but I wouldn't shout that to the world. :idea: :lol:


Actually I now see that everything of mine which was more than just over a year old has vanished too. This might be a good thing - cleaning out all the old stuff that nobody looks at anymore, but is there still a way to access archives if wanted, or is it gone forever? (not that I want my own posts, but there was also good information in some of the old posts too)

Hmmm.. I think I clicked the wrong button somewhere along the line. Dang. :(
I'll see what I can do, but they may be gone forever......

Keith, I have fixed the top 30 posters, but I am not going to do the other 1177 users. Can you write an SQL command the copies the users_posts from the old database to the new database.

PS Scorps I have adjusted yours to your ego. :lol:

Yes! I can! And have! :D
Amazing what you can get achieved at work during these quiet times... :wink:

Everyone's post count will now be what it was on the old board. Any posts made since the change the other week wont be reflected in the numbers.

Thank You so very much for that.

I don't really care about the post count, but its so good to see all the old posts available again, particularly in the Technical Help forum. I find that to be a brilliant source of information, but because it was always there, I never bothered to copy or save any, thinking that I could always find whatever I wanted. Now that all the old posts are back, I feel much happier that I can occasionally search and see what I can gain from other people's experiences.
