Huh?

Front-end user interface.

OK so sticking with SMF...That's OK, as I'll just get used ter it.

I think I know what NB means in the quote - maybe install a different template (if you know how to do that, kralik).  I can vouch for NB's difficulty witht the front-end complexity factor ;)

OK all, some setbacks in importing the CC database as it is MASSIVE. It got about 85% done before (presumably) crashing my webhost's server. I think I'll start the process again with a staggered delay between chunks...

EDIT: I put it on the slow boat. Import 200k of data, wait five seconds, repeat. Hopefully that will keep the server load low enough that a) it will finish and b) my webhost won't ban me. :mrgreen: I was hoping to have it all ready by tonight, but we'll see... still hopeful...

Good news, bad news--

Good news: I have the CobraCards database up and "running." You can read old posts!
Bad news: It ain't purty. It won't let you log in. And the first try conversion to TLHH was unsuccessful (as many probably noticed!). Many parts of the forums are tied directly to cobracards.com and had issues... it took much tinkering for me to get it to work as it is!

I'm going to give it a break for tonight, but I think I've accomplished enough for one day, since I had a normal work day, two needy kids at home, and I only just got the database this morning. ;)

I just got another email from Cobra on that very question... and the answer is... sadly... no. He doesn't have anything except for the database dump, which means that all images, themes, custom code, the riddle game, etc. are lost. I did actually find the theme he was using (I had to find it to make it work), but as you can see it isn't displaying properly.

Good news #2: I was able to hack my way into the admin interface and switch the theme to the default! The forum is now readable! Note that child boards (for example, Expanded/Standard/etc.) are not listed correctly under their parents (Deck Clinic)

Awesome possum. At least we can see it all now, like a massive historical archive. 'Twould be nice to still get it all integrated, but if that's not possible, I'm content just knowing it's still there. Bravo.

If you need any help, again, just let me know. Send me a PM with how to get into the admin tools, though, if you DO need me.

Cool...wow.  All of our old posts up.  The main problem now is that any links existing within the posts, are under Cobracards.com domain...which is bad...

Unless you want to kill yourself trying to change all of them, I wouldn't recommend it.
