Excellent, thanks. Couple more questions.......does the script move or copy the attachments? In other words, do they stay in the source directory or are they moved or copied to the "gallery/files" directory? I wouldn't want duplicate files on disk, as in my case, available disk space might become an issue. I have over a gig of attachments

.......and what state are the original messages left in? Is the message text left in place and the attachment removed from the thread or does the script convert the message text into a comment with the original posting's member details included in the newly created gallery posting? Also, is there any fall out with the member post counters? Or will the 'Update Counters' option take care of that? Finally, how long approximately will this whole process take? If it's a "move" I would think it would be quite quick, no matter how large my attachment totals are, right?
By the way, I store my attachments in the file system.....shouldn't be a problem, right?
Ok, no more questions, I'll try it out shortly, that will no doubt answer anything else. Thanks again.
