The Conversion Is Finally Complete
Well, simply put, you are receiving this email because I have finally finished the conversion of the forum and implementing it into the main site. The major hurdle was getting all of the users from the forum into the database for the main site, and then linking the two so when new users register at one of them, they are automatically registered at the other. Unfortunately, for me, there was no easy way of doing this aside from manually deleting your account in the forum, and then re-registering you, but now, you all are members of both the main site, and the forum. The bad news is that you all are starting over at 0 for the number of posts you have made in the forum. One drawback in the deleting of your account, but a necessary evil.
So, again, thanks to all of those who posted their support in me doing this. The major advantage to this process is that you will now be able to contribute on the main site as well as the forum. You all already know how to contribute on the forum, but logging into the main site will give you the ability to leave comments on each post. Additionally, I can grant access to certain users to post their own articles (hardballhock comes to mind). A lot of times, people send me info to post. Now I can make it so that person can post it themselves for everybody to see.
Now, make sure you log in and update your personal information in your profile (add websites, ICQ number, change password, etc.).
