Oh, it was more than just an upgrade. Try converting to a different software altogether!

The problem now isn't the forums. Our homepage is, for all practical purposes, broken. It used to update blog-style with the Announcements and Hybrid News forums. Also, (and I didn't even think of this before converting!) the mileage database is no longer sync'd with the discussion forum database. That basically means that it's still drawing off the old database and new members can't log in there.

To make it worse, I think that member ID's were changed during the convert, so they no longer match up between the mileage database and the NEW forum database. I'll have to write a script to sync them back up, and then replace the code to connect the appropriate databases. Ugh, yes -- a nightmare!

Oh, and did I forget to mention that I'm leaving in a week for DC and won't be able to administrate during that time?
