	No, but Sean did have a very valid and significant point about upgrading 7.x to 8.x, and that is the table structures have changed so much, the only way to get the mdb of 7.x to work with 8.x is to manually enter in the new field structures of each table so that they match. This is unacceptable to anyone that's been using WWF for awhile and has a significant number of users, topics, and posts they want to keep.

	Unless I'm reading wrongly, you are saying that you need to manually upgrade a 7.x database to 8.x This is incorrect, there are database upgrade tools on the Web Wiz Forums download page, that will automatically upgrade your 7.x database to the version 8.x database. Using this database upgrade tool you don't need to touch your database, the whole process is taken care of, and you keep all your 7.x posts, members, etc. and all old posts are automatically updated to work with the new version 8.x database schema. The database upgrade tools also come with a step by step guide on how to not only update your database but also on how to update your whole forum. It has been designed to make the whole process as quick and easy as possible and judging by the lack of support questions on using the database upgrade tool, I'm guessing that most users are finding the process quite painless.
