oh yeah, it’s not originally wordpress…I am interested to see the results I get on this tonight. I know the guy that built the original table is still around, I’m just not sure how available he is to help me out. And, I chalk this up to a really good opportunity for a learning experience.
there were no forums in the old database, just user info…and I’m pretty sure the table was built pre web 2.0 – thanks for the tips, I will play around with it and check back here.
