I have a question: Do the posts we make in the test forum go towards our Post Count or do they disappear after the upgrade is finished?

The posts will disappear. Anything you post in the test forum will not be carried over to the main forum once we update.Quote:

If our names are out of date on the test forum will we be able to update them?
They won't be out of date on the actual upgraded forum. Just for this temporary test one.Quote:

The test forums were taken from January of this year so if you haven't changed your name or password since then, you should be fine. You can change your name on the test forum if you want but it won't affect anything on the real forum after the upgrade.
Ah ok, got it, so its irrelevant anyway. Thats fine too. Just thinking out loud.Quote:

Correct. If a user registered after the forums were copied, they won't have an account on the test forums.Quote:
