Hello:
We are in the process of upgrading the phpBB software. In that process we have to convert the database to a phpBB3 database so, may be, you could experience some problems. If that's the case, please, let me know.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Cheers,

Dragonrider is right. It seems like a lot of accounts have been deleted.
I wondered some minutes ago that I can't log in with my account. The "forgot my password" function said that the email address is not correct for the entered username.
finally I just recreated my account with the same username and password and that worked. But as Dragonrider wrote: all the posts have lost their authors.

Hello:
Sorry for the delay.
That is the whole situation. In the process of upgrading from phpBB2 to phpBB3.0.4 the database needs to be converted. The database convertor was complaining about a LOT of users that couldn't be converted, so, after talk with the phpBB support guys, I had to delete those users.
I was working on a tool to restore the user posts, because the posts were not removed, were associated with the Guest user.
So, those who want to get their posts again can send me an email to: please-restore-my-posts@tincan.co.uk with the username and, if it's possible, with the user id.
Yes, you need to recreate your user.
I'm really sorry, but it's the only way to upgrade the system and we _must_ do it.
The upgrade on the live system is going to be done the next week, Thursday I guess.
Thanks to all for be patient.
Cheers,

Still waiting

I emailed 'please-restore-my-posts@...' but have yet to hear back. I've lost my moderator status and my 60+ posts are now marked 'Guest'.

Looks good overall; however, there appear to be a few places where there are issues with font size. The left side menu ("Board Index", "Search", etc) seems just a tad small and there are some forum sub-headings such as where it says "Questions go in the Questions & Problems forums" where the text is microscopic.
I'm running Windows XP with Firefox 3.0.8.
