There’s so much more in Beehive than there is here in terms of features but it’s also easier to navigate. You don’t have to move back and forth between threads and the thread listing.
Anyway, just a suggestion. Since beehive is free and open source I thought you guys might want to check it out.

Actually nevermind. They started. For some reason they weren’t but now they are. Oh well, maybe a server burp or something.

Don’t let that throw you Waldo. Those are entries I haven’t fixed yet with the Word macro. LOL
So no worries. Give me a few days and all will be well.

Thanks Nuclear Moose, that did the trick! Looks much better now. I appreciate the tip. You’re a good egg. ??

Thanks. ??
Hey, if you guys need some better board software for this site you might want to check out Beehive. I’m running it at https://www.jimlynch.com/board and it’s great. It’s free and totally open source.
You can download it at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50772 and you can hook up with the developers over at the Teh Forum at https://www.tehforum.net/forum/
This software is okay but Beehive is much, much better. Give it a spin if you have a chance. Feel free to check out my board.

Thank you both very much, I appreciate the help.
But it’s too late. I killed the MT database earlier this evening. I fixed the most important entries with the Word macro and will either prune out the nonimportant ones by deleting them or will fix the rest slowly over time.
But thank you both very much. I really did appreciate the effort to help out with this.
Despite the minor line break burp, I’m really digging WP. It’s got quite a lot of what I wanted from MT. And boy do I love the little smilie hack. ??

Good for you, I think you’ll dig WP. So far I like it a lot.

Looks pretty good to me. Congrats!

Congrats. I converted too. I had a couple of burps but I that was on my end not WordPress’. So far I’m loving it too. I don’t miss MT at all.

Wow. Funky! Very nicely done. ??

At this point, I’ve decided to use a Word macro to just clean up the important entries. That should make it fairly quick.

Well this is interesting. Some of the entries did get imported but still with the line breaks! So it’s not MT’s export that’s the problem. I see the exact same thing.
I doubt it’s WP’s problem either. Could it be the way Mozilla’s Composer handles links and HTML? That’s what I used for the most part for all of these entries. Does it have some kind of formatting problem or something?

Okay, I blew away the database and reinstalled. That took care of the error above.
But I got this one when it started importing:

I will never forget where I was or what I was doing whan I found out the World Trade Center had been hit by terrorists. People have a tendency to forget; out of sight, out of mind. Every month on the 11th on the large dry-erase board where I work, I write, \”REMEMBER!\” in the hopes that it will wake people out of their little daydream that they are safe in the world. Most people get it, and some people just think I am odd. Apparently, September the 11th, was not very important to them as it was to me. I feel sometimes that I am the only person that still thinks of September the 11th with horror and deep, desparaging sadness. I cannot be the only one, obviously, by the number of posts I have read here, although it FEELS like it. I feel physically ill, when I think about all of the people that had to make the gruesome choice of being either burnt to death or to jump out of the buildings and commit suicide.The 911 calls that were made and were not responded to because rescuers could not get to their location, is equally sickening to me. Is there anyone from the mid-west that feels as I do? Just curious…Well, I just wanted to say that I have not forgotten this horrible act of terrorism against the United States or how many people died nor will I ever. I am thinking of all the people around the world that lost a loved one in the terrorist attacks! God Bless You All!’,’0′);

Okay, got it to run. Got an error though:

Thanks. How do I execute this script?
