    It's not my belly button. That looks like it's on my hip, but it's the door behind me. It does not even look like a belly button, and it is definetly not in the correct place. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Sorry!!!! That took a bit longer than expected, mainly due to the internet connection speed from the UK to the USA.

    Everything is done and should be working OK, but please post here if you find any problems or have any questions.

    Well done Paul!

    Fixed, thanks! :thumbsup:

    Yes, lots of work over the last 3 weeks or so working, out the process and writing all the data conversion scripts etc, then doing test runs on a test server to make sure the process worked. The biggest part of the job was working out the process and writing the scripts to move everything from the old blogs and galleries to the new ones.

    Today was basically uploading stuff, following my process (an 8 page document), running the scripts etc. It all went to plan, apart from taking a bit longer than anticipated.

    If your biography (the bit of text about you on the homepage) in the old system was longer than 200 characters you will find it has become shortened to 200 characters now. I have set the maximum to 500 characters, so you can edit it in "My Settings", "Edit Your Details" if necessary.

    Blogs and photos are not available to people who have not registered (they will get an error message). That will stop search engines etc spidering them and casual visitors looking at them.

    I have found an add-on which improves the integration of flashchat with vBulletin and seems to fix that problem. I am going to install it now, so there may be problems with the chatroom for the next few minutes.
