2 small issues I need to attack...
I just completed a conversion from UBB 6.4 (classic), and everything went very smoothly. One small hitch, though, is that I have users who lost all of their IM conversations. About 375 of the IM histories translated fine, but there are a few who have lost them all. I can go back to the original board to see the IMs, they just never made it over in the conversion. I re-ran the IM import to no avail.
Also, here's one that is confounding me.
I wrote a piece of code to build my site's navigation header to embed into the forums to match the rest of the site. It has a Javascript rollover button bar and is fairly simple. I dropped it into the header CSS template in the Style Manager, made sure the code pointed to the script library on the server, and it works perfectly.
Until you get on an interior forum thread page. The rollovers vanish, though the buttons still work, and the links still go to the right place. I re-coded the script to point to the script library as an absolute link, so that regardless of where the forums or the site looked for the scripts, they would be in the same place, but that didn't work.
Looking at the source code of both a functioning forum page and a non functioning forum page (rollover script), they are both identical. One works and the other doesn't.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? Did I make a sloppy code mistake?

Here's the code for the nav bar that is in the header template:
Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<!--
NEW HEADER & NAVBAR
Now that the nav buttons are in the
navbar template, you can stick whatever
you like into this space.
This makes it much easier for novice
admins to customize their header
template without affecting important
navigation elements.
