There is an issue with the Directory Module. It appears that it is not PHP 5.X friendly. The old version ran 4.x. So I need to either find an upgraded version of this module, or just write my own like I have done with many of the other pieces here. All the data is intact. So I just disabled that module until I can get it sorted out.

You fixed It! Did you have to write code to do it?

I found a new module, but had to change a bunch of code to integrate it into the website. The I had to write a couple of custom import scripts to move all the data from the format that the old module used, into the format that the new module used.

Kev,

I might be a little slow here, but I just had cause to go back and search for an old thread in the "For Sale, Wanted, Trade" Forum and found the oldest there dates from April 2008!

When you did the data move from the old to the new server did you only bring the more recent threads over? Or did I miss something?

When I was still on the old server I had to keep cleaning up things to give it breathing room. So one of the things I did was purge the posts in the For Sale forum that were over 4 months old. I did the same thing with the Staff forum. But none of the other forums were affected by the purge.

I should not have to ever do that on the new server. Sorry if I purged something you needed.

Kev,

It isn't a big deal as I found what I was looking for elsewhere, and thanks for answering this query. I had noticed at the time the Staff Forum had been truncated but my attention wasn't drawn to the For Sale Forum then so didn't catch it till now.
