Hello,

We might be having the same problem. I have searched for a long time and hope I am posting in an appropriate place. This is a very friendly and helpful site.

Background:
Our site upgraded from UBB4 to UBB5 in November 2001

Then our site converted from UBB5 to vb2.2.9 in March 2003

Problem: All of the posts from pre-November 2001 now show the poster as a "Guest" and not a registered member. When people search a username, these posts are not displayed in the results.

Our post numbers are accurate because we did not reset the counters. But it would be nice if the old posts where searchable by username and the posters had their proper title.

Is there a way to reclaim these lost posts? Xenon's comments seem relevant but I do not speak German. Can anyone give advice on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any comments.
