    There's some bb code showing on the custom title under each nickname:

    Ex:
    Johnny
    Gran Turismo Freak<BR>
    <B>Site Supporter 2013</B><B


    I can edit it on Personal Details, but stuff like "Site Supporter" used to be added / edited only by Assembler on the previous board. No idea if all users can edit this now.

    You're a mod :p They can't edit. And since when is your sig THAT big? lol

    As noted, the supporter thing is screwed. It was just a custom user title with HTML formatting. Xenforo doesn't like that... and trimmed it. We will be abandoning it, changing everyone's custom titles and implementing a proper site supporter system. It will take some time, as it means an offline vBB install and manually finding supporters.

    I fixed the sig, wasn't that big before. lol

    As for the custom title, yes i know i can edit and they don't. The problem is that even being a mod, i never had the right to add Site Supporter info. But like you already explained, it was a custom html formatting and it's something Xenforo doesn't like.

    For now i'll just edit the bb code errors.

    You should be able to dump the SQL database and use grep to find the string "Site Supporter" which will tell you what table they are located in. Then it's just a matter of coming up with a SELECT statement that will output all the users that have that in their title along with the years in which they supported.

    Unless they, like myself cleared it from their profile because it was too long and broken. >_<;

    Couldn't Kevin go through his inbox for the sent automatic messages?

    Pretty sure its implied they have an offline version of the old forum running. So you could just use that for the information.

    He also said he was going to manually go through and find supporters, which sounds like a complete pain compared to searching an SQL dump.

    The manual part is manually adding people to a supporters group. No way around that.

    In all likelihood, it's going to be completely different and we might have to start from scratch. We'll see.

    This requires a manual fix. It will take some time.
