Just my tuppence worth
The odd thing is that it was only for some users. Really when you do a migration like this /GEEKMODE you export the data from one data base and import it to another. Since both are running the same software (the forum software - albeit different versions) the data structures should be the same (first field is username on both, second is real name, etc) so the import SHOULD work for all or none. So something very odd must have happened for some users to have a problem and others to not. /GEEKMODE

Tracking down problems like this are a big pain.
