New Site format dropped real names
I noticed that the updates to the site has dropped our "real names" from the user profiles. Recent communications through PM's and emails are kinda weird when you have to refer to someone as "BlownHemi" or whatever you call yourself. If your momma named you "Crash" that's fine too, but everyone else it's time to update if you'd be so kind.
Go to "My stuff" and then down to "edit profile". As always, thanks in advance. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: New Site format dropped real names
The "Real Name" field on the previous version had to be hacked into the software...the new software doesn't use it either, but has a few extra "custom fields" available, to which I added real name. But, since this was an import versus a typical upgrade of software (they changed how the software handles a lot of the backend database stuff, thus one of the reasons for the URL change) the hacked in field from the prior board couldn't be moved over.
Soooo, everyone needs to update their profile, and provide the correct information, particularly their "Real Name"...

Re: New Site format dropped real names
Rob, did you try to dump the real name table, then on the new database try to query the table back up?
