Oh yeah... sorry for the mess with the topic order... But you can make a forum sort newest first by clicking on the "Last post" column header (the white arrow that appears next to "Last post" text should be facing up). I'm not sure why do you need to switch these forums to reverse order to get the correct one, but it works. Hmm, it may be looking at the order of insertion to database instead of post dates, I guess... my script did load the most recent topics first.
While I'm at it, I apologize for the stray HTML mess in some of the posts (there was no easy way to clean these automatically), and for the fact my converter missed the twenty-few posts made by guests on the old forum (a guest post has the user-box different enough that it did not matched my scanner template, which assumed the username is always a link).
Well, for now the old forum is still there in all its glory...
