Yeah, bummer... I liked that I was a member since 2004 but only had 380 posts. :)

Yeah, I hope the member since dates get restored. Does anyone know how people end up with so many thousands of posts? Do they spam the ignore thread constantly? I've been averaging ~65 posts a year, and I thought I was fairly active. :omg:

Some people post 65 times a day, or close to it.
And it would take an act of God (or Margie) to get me to wade into trying to update all those member-since dates.

Yeah it's no big deal. As for 65 times a day, do y'all do anything at work? :grin: I only post occasionally because I have a lot of respect for the knowledge of this community, and mostly only offer my input if I know what I'm talking about, or it's something asking for an opinion.

What's the field name for date joined in the old table? I can't tell. You probably only need to add one line to the SQL to include date joined. I see it in the new table structure. The hard part is the linking and that will all stay the same. You just add ',new_table_field_name=old_table_field_name' after the other 'set' pair of field names and before the "where". However, it looks like the old board wasn't using the datetime format to store dates. That makes it a little harder because you'll have to convert the date formats as the new one is datetime.
