	Works in 2.1 without problems.

	All right, once you do this, don't you need to do something like change the password in the admin file to some pre-set thing which is the new encoding for 'admin', so you can log in? I don't see the instructions for this part anywhere, though I know I did at some time. Also went through the mod file, and they don't seem to be in there. I just copied it out of the original admin file, but it might be nice to get it listed here, just to help others.

	If you know the password for the admin, it should convert without issue. This mod can tell the difference between the encrypted format from the older mod, the new 2.x format, and completely unencrypted.

	Yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking, but I just used my old password, and went in without problems. Not that I don't have -other- things to clean up, fix, find where they are wrong, and so on! <ggg>

	I'm glad it worked. What version of YaBB did you use, out of curiosity?

	Original, 1.3 or 1.4, I forget which. Upgraded to 2.1. (And as an aside, visited your site and wasted a bunch of time on all the Runescape guides ... my latest time sink.)

	Cool. It was my communities timesink a while ago. That's why they are so outdated. They might still be a bit useful though, despite the better sites out there.
