 * Articz, this is probably in the wrong forum area. You should repost this over
   in the help/problems forum. You might have better luck getting help there.

 * Getting help is like pulling teeth….. I have been locked out of my site for days
   because I can’t import user database files from my old site to my new……
 * Everywhere i look on here it says RESOLVED with no RESOLUTION for the problem
   posted….
 * So, GOOD LUCK!

 * help here is only as good as the questions asked. Youve started one thread. One,
   and it was started 2 weeks ago.
 * Maybe rather than bump a topic thats been fixed — (looking at the site the OP
   posted proves this), you might try starting a topic and explaining what YOUR 
   problem is.
