I finally got the most recent active 100 users from my old site manually entered user by user into my new IP site (I am running the new RC by the way).
I sent a mass e-mail to all of them letting them know of the new site, and that their logins would still work.
So here comes the traffic. I am all excited. Then suddenly I am swarmed with complaints of ...

Help!!! I did search here but it's hard to even know how to search. I searched for "force read" and "read this" but no luck. It seems as if the site is trying to force them to read a thread number 1 that does not even exist.
So thinking that this has to be a FTR issue, I went to FTR and hit "Delete all FTR flags". Really stupid of me. I thought it meant "set everything to not be FTR". I realized my error as now even I am getting this "You must read this first" bug. So I went and disabled FTR, and that just made things worse. Now every forum or thread you try to go to, is just a blank white page. I emptied the cache through my ACP (everything except thumbnails) and still no luck.
I am now sad :( Got all my old friends to start using the new site, and our big grand opening was a flop :(
I still think this all revolves around me deleting the test thread that installs with IP. It seems to really have messed up a few things. I assume that thread was flagged as force read?
