Ian, if you are importing a ubb.classic into threads, there is a fix for the import script to import users using their public displayed name. It has been posted a few places... infopop a couple of times. If you can't find it and need it, I'll find it for you
Donate to UBBDev today to help aid in Operational, Server and Script Maintenance, and Development costs.
Please also see our parent organization VNC Web Services if you're in the need of a new UBB.threads Install or Upgrade, Site/Server Migrations, or Security and Coding Services.
