And it worked. Oh, and Brent? There are about 5 or 10 messages in the converted DB that still have unconverted HTML in them. Some of it is mysterious -- <br> tags still in the text -- and some of it is what I assume is essentially unique markup that you didn't anticipate. Fortunately there were so few that I could easily fix them individually.
What this means is... we are live to start porting threads over to the new board as of right this freakin' second. I'm going to see how much of the Marketplace I can in fact do in the next half hour or so, using it as my final QA run for my scripting. However...
LAST CALL FOR NAME CHANGES! If you've changed your handle between here and the new boards, and you want your old messages associated with the new handle, TELL ME NOW!
ETA: Hm. 6 threads and two bugs to fix. The thread record isn't getting the correct thread date -- not sure why that's happening yet, as it worked fine for the very first test thread. And I just ran into my first old-board user who isn't registered -- gotta do a coalesce on the uid, no big. We're getting there, people.
ETA2: Well. You learn something every day. Don't put sql keywords into message text in such a way that they actually look like programming language. Crapatalk will give you a full-screen nastygram.-- Bob

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
