Topic: Lost a lot of Posts (and some Users) upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3.4

Hey guys,

The upgrade almost went off perfect, but I think in the db_update.php phase, something screwed up.

I have a lot of old posts that were long, but have now been truncated to only the first 2 or 3 lines.

I have backups, so I can try this again, but can someone help me out with what might be going wrong?

I think environment and database info will help when a dev gets round to looking at this... cool

This is the information from the old forum before the upgrade and the post truncation had the following info.  I've reinstalled it on a new domain so I have all the old posts up there so I could do a MISERABLE copy/paste job, but I'd rather upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3.4 successfully and correctly.
