I am converting data from another links program, and I have a question about one of the fields that wsnlinks uses. In the table Links there is a field threadposters. It contains data formatted like

1[,]admin[,]1[END]

What info is actually being stored here? What do the different parts of this mean?

I have not been able to figure it out, but I am guessing it is something like:

1 = first in the list
admin = admin username
1 = admin userid

Other than that, I think I have everything else figured out for the conversion.

Thanks

threadposters stores data about who has posted in a comments thread. In order it's the member id number, username and number of times posted in that thread.

There's no point to importing it. Just import the comment posts and members, and when you regenerate (Admin -> Maintenance -> Regeneration) after importing it'll fill in the threadposters field.
