yw... I still working away in the background atm.. although I did take a short break to eat.
I think all the heart stopping moments are out of the way now as far as the database goes.
My heart was in my mouth when I deleted everything from the old forum and it was a huge relief when the database copied back over and went in the new software ok.
I'll try correct the remaining images next.. then on to working on the new anti-spam features i'll be installing... which should help a lot.. and why I decided to go this route in the first place.
