Ok, couple things..
First, why can I almost never see the option to edit my posts? It says edit enabled at the bottom, and I'm logged in as myself..
Second, in answer to my last question about ppconvert, I found it precompiled in the serverpack here:
http://eqemu.sesmar.net/sp/EQEmuSP-2.0-NoInstaller.rar
Ran it, worked great with no errors. Off to test my db!!
