   What makes you say that? Is the update.js current (the latest from the Git   
   repo)?

   Look at the ctrl/main.ini file - does it have your BBS name, etc. in it? If   
   not, then there was no conversion of the your old ctrl/*.cnf files to   
   ctrl/*.ini, and if that's the case, then you ran the wrong update.js or   
   something like that.

   Is it *your* BBS name or "My Brand New BBS" (or whatever the default is)?

   Yeah, like I said above, it sounds like you ran the wrong update.js.   
      
   k, let us know more.
