Okay, this has turned into a bit of a disaster.
In another thread, I explained how SQL keeled over due to 9meg post some moron was able to make. I was able to fix that by editing the post text manually and removing most of the rubbish.
I thenL
1. removed the old tables as instructed.
2. Closed both boards
3. relaunched the import
4. and of now it's still running
BUT
A. The forums are now somehow OPEN:
B. people have loged in
C. me an two other Admins can't login to re close the boards (I suspect those logged in made new accounts)
D. Someone named the forums "I EAT MY OWN POOP" <--

What do I do?
