Style and structure is now set up, and I must say looks better than the current forum!

Permissions and other settings are also done.

I now have about 20 mods to install...yikes! Lots of great new features though.

A few puzzlers for me.....

I cannot in any way transfer the database as forumotion wont allow me to purchase the database from them, which means no posts. I already plan to keep the current forum open and readable only as an archive, and my members have agreed to that. I have a mod to change postcount so as they reregister I can alter their postcount to reflect posts on the old forum, but oh how I would love to get those posts over.

I can make a link in each section to the "archive" on the old forum, but I have been wondering if I can copy all the posts over. I can post them as a guest (so I can change the username to the posters username) and add a "originally posted on..." at the top. But that will take ages......theres currently 12253 posts! Maybe before the move I will ask members to request certain posts moved, that should cut it down a little.

I also need to figure out how to point the domain to the forum without having to use the /phpbb3 script path.

Right....onto the mods!
