We currently run ubb classic 6.5, and will be upgrading VERY soon, although I will have paid for the upgrade install,(I'll let someone who has done this a few times and knows what they are doing do this one ;-)) when the time comes to have the classic bbs imported to the threads bbs, what happens with member numbers?, we have one user who is member # 1 who happens to be the organization's founder, will he be able to retain that # or will the import shift all these numbers? (I see in my "threads testing ground" that the user # 1 is a reserved - system i guess - user on a fresh install)it may seem trivial, but this is the stuff that has given me many gray hairs already....

Yes, user numbers will be renumbered, and any gaps will be removed. Since user #1 is the placeholder user, he'll get reassigned to user #2 which is the primary userid in UBB.threads (as you can see, that's my userid).

Unfortunately there isn't any way around that, as user id #1 is used to hold old guest posts or posts by deleted users.

No worries I wanted that clear in my mind about how to address it with my users. next question... Now Do all user rights migrate over? the three bbs admins would remain so as well as mods? - our new user #2 would retain what rights we gave him instead of all of a sudden having access to everything in the world? (we definitely do not want that to happen ;-))

Admin's will be imported as admin's, mods as well. Users who have access to private forums will be added to a group with the name "OLD_GROUP_[groupnumber]" as private access is handled differantly in threads.

The "super admin" user can be updated in the control panel, to be any user id.

:holds envelope to forehead: because Gizmo has nothing better to do than sit at 5 forums and answer random questions and ignore his coding folder
