Hi Jerry..!
First of all -
Welcome!!!
As for the "old" profiles - yes, they will stay up. However, I'm still thinking through the "role" the Old Forum will play and what "features" will still be accessible? Honestly - I hadn't thought about the Profiles issue until you brought it up - as this Forum has a different "Profile" feature.
My primary intent to to be sure that the archives and information is retained in the old system - and allow it to be able to be searched. I know I can do that - and link it into the main site.
Anyway - let me give it some thought and chat with John S. about it - and we'll see what we can do, OK?
In the meantime - it's terrific to see you over here!! <img src="graemlins/wave.gif" border="0" alt="[byebye]" />
