You might see some odd Alerts and New Posts this weekend

We're converting the Articles in the Preparedness - First Steps area from what this software calls Pages to Threads in the Survival Articles forum. This project is to bring these old (circa 2005) web pages into the forum.

One thing that we're doing is 'moving' all of the comments below each article into the new thread as posts. To pull this off, I have to post the comment as @melbo and then change the author and date to match the original comment. This may mess with your alerts or new posts notifications since the post is going to originally show as being made by @melbo until I change the author and date.

It's a lot more work to do it this way but we want to preserve the comments.

Sorry if we cause any confusion. Please also note that at no time have we 'logged in' as these users to post the comment. We are merely changing the post author through a moderation tool. SM does not have any add-ons or native capabilities to log in as you nor can we read your PMs.

 

Still working on this. Putting off the tougher ones for later

 

Here's what we do to redirect old versions of urls to new ones:

Code:
