all the usersids are in order. Everyone that was there before the switch to vB has their correct number, it's just that any new user is 338 higher than they should be. In every case so far, that's how it's working.
and it's just to display Member #:1
on their profiles in their posts.... These guys love to have that so they feel like an original member... IE the guys in the 50s feel cooler than the n00bs coming in at 18x now... It's very superficial, but it's what they want so I'm going to have it there.
I just finished uploading a fresh vB install with a new db and I put impex in there too. So I'm all set to go at this point. I just have to double check all the settings, then import it w/o "testing" it first this time. I figure if it works (vB -> vB should be cake) then I'm all set. If it doesn't, I just turn the old version back on and figure out what I did wrong.
