We will be using a custom script written by one of our programmers.

Thanks again bud. Quite a long one this eh.

I'll test it some more later, but basically it seems that if you've posted using the name "Admin" and migrate those posts. Then change your name to "Me" on the new board. All migrated posts still show the posters name as "Admin"

So... All new posts would show the name change, but all migrated posts from the old board show the old name.

Okay... There's a few issues.

(1) If you've been posting using the name "Admin" on your IPB, then migrate and change the name to "Me" it still shows as "Admin" in the posts. Even after running all the clean up tools.

(2) If you change the name to "Me" on the mother-board before migration, it still shows as Admin in the posts on the migrated board.

The main problem here for me is that my members (of over 8,000) have had the option to change their display name once a week, just for fun. Often they change it to something silly to represent their mood etc. It's not going to be great if their old posts are displayed with the display name they were using at the time of posting.

I've tested the migration a few times now but don't seem to be getting anywhere. As soon as I run the clean up and recount tools the post names are reverted.

Nice mod this one - Subscribed for developments

Will do. Thanks Matt

Brilliant. Thank you

It's okay... human error caused by incorrect table prefix

There's a light skin option for the members who don't like our default skin.

And there will always be hundreds of websites devoted to these subjects. It's all about personal choice.
Our collective projects currently have over 12,000 members, and the previous Admin Board had around 600 active members. So I'm pretty sure I can market this project given enough time. But we're not trying to compete with the established websites or break any records. We just want to develop our own information resource which will act as a release base for our own projects.
Our team includes well established designers and programming professionals who develop a range of products such as web scripts, web tools, web templates, forum skins etc which we release absolutely FREE and are only available via our sites.
If the site has just 50 active members it will all be worthwhile.

We're about to launch a new section devoted to PunBB which will feature our own skins, skinning tips and graphics.
If you're joining us from this forum please register your interest in PunBB on the board

I figured out the problem.

I had removed the default style but hadn't set the new default in the admin options.

Maybe that's a minor bug in the script? If a style is removed, shouldn't it set a new default?
