We have seen another minor issue related to the data migration, and that is in some of the posts from the old forum the order of posts made on the same day may be incorrect. You'll notice this when you open a thread and it appears that there is an answer to a question that has not been asked. The original question is still there, but it may be one or two places down in the thread. I suspect this happened due to date format incompatibilities between the old and new forums. The old forum stored dates as text strings (?!) so the database entries actually said: Thursday, March 05, 2009 02:48p.m. The new forum (as most forums now) uses a more standard epoch timestamp, so when migrating the dates into the new system, it seems errors were made. I worked with the vBulletin developer who wrote the migration scripts to address some of the issues we found, but honestly, post order was not something I checked in the test migrations. Mea culpa. At this point I don't think they can be fixed, but I will keep looking around to see if anyone else has run into the same issue and found a fix. Frankly, not many people migrate to vBulletin from dotNetBB (not surprising, considering development on dotNetBB stopped some time ago), so it is not easy to find a fix for many of these issues. So if some of the old threads seem a little crazy to you, your eyes do not deceive you.
As it turns out, the post order can be fixed, but it's a kind of tedious manual process that has to be done on a thread-by-thread basis. There is no global fix. So if you find an important thread that is messed up (one we link to or use a lot), Let me know via PM and I can fix it. Though for older threads that may not be relevant any more we probably won't bother fixing them.
