It's mostly cosmetic and trying to figure out how to clean up stuff. Since you've already found the place, I'll let the others play there if they prefer, but everyone must remember that things will be changing.
(Of course, in 15 days nobody will be listening . . . )

Just poking around a bit, it looks there will probably be a bit of a learning curve with how to do some things we've gotten used to.
Some tags, for instance (bolding, centering, italics) seem to be a bit erratic with how they migrated over, but nothing earth-shattering.
Looking forward to getting the hang of the place.
Thanks, Nighty!

I don't know if you are soliciting feedback yet, Nighty, on noted issues (perhaps this is already something that will be addressed during customization), but - while doing some post clean up for tags, I noticed that there is a 10,000 character limit for posts.
As some of the "Bits" posts would routinely be well above that limit, could this be increased? Thanks in advance.

I'll look into it. Please don't bother to clean up tags. I still need to run a script that will do that.
Sorry guys, but I'm starting a new position at work while still doing my old one and just don't have a lot of free time to devote to this atm, but I also don't want to half-ass it either. I was showing the new forum as a way to show there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but it'll probably be January that I actually switch us over (as I'll need all of my vacation time to try and work on this).
The problems with porting over forced my hand sooner than I was ready.

And no problem, man... the tag clean up was just me being anal retentive with my own posts by way of getting familiar with things.
I understand what a mammoth task this is, so no worries.

Minor thing then - can you switch the dates to say (e.g.) "December 11, 2012" rather than 12-11-2012? The latter looks like the 12th of November to me (and probably all other UK Legion Worlders).

I just guessed the URL, but afterward I checked and Mr. Google had found it too.

You definitely can't redo it? It seems like there's a LOT of stress for you caused by the fact that it's Been Done and we'll lose something like a month's worth of posts - if you could do a new transfer, then you could simply take as long as you need.
