Well part up of this upgrade seems to have gone to plan and the forums are now upgraded.
You'll most likely need to reset your passwords since they don't seem to be taken over from SMF.
I'll install the CMS later either tonight or tomorrow.
Right hopefully this will be most of the permissions sortted on the forum.
Myself, Max, Nog and 'tash have Superduper Moderator rights which is admin without the server settings. So you guys should be able to create forums, manage users etc.
