However we're having to tell each user to re-register if they registered on the old forum and then subsequently used our new forum.

You are right and people must re-register in the new system. We don't move the login information because people must realize that they are using a different system, with different features and navigation. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Also we've all had a bunch of emails come through from all the previous posts we were involved in the old forum.  Not sure if that was expected or not, but its a lot of emails for some!

This is very strange and I apologize again. I sort of imagine what could cause this and I will check in the code. Thanks for reporting this.

Ok, question now on trying to merge the two forums we have.

1.  Existing one on Nabble 2 (not migrated) is http://n2.nabble.com/Greyhound-Rescue-North-East-f3561393ef3561393.html
2.  Old one you've now migrated is http://n4.nabble.com/Old-Greyhound-Rescue-North-East-Forum-f77538.html

What I'd like to do is to move the forum on n4 (migrated one in point 2 above) to a sub forum within our new forum site on n2 (point 1 above).  I figured I could do this by:

a.  Create a new sub-forum in our site: http://n2.nabble.com/Old-Greyhound-Rescue-North-East-Forum-Posts-f3799352ef3561393.html
b.  Then set the parent forum of our migrated forum to that URL

However, I can't seem to get the migrated forum "into" the sub-forum I created for it.  Note that the n2 forum is embedded within our website.

I see the problem now. Each forum is in a different machine and cannot be placed together and merged. So the solution would be to migrate the old forum from n4 to n2. If you agree, I can migrate it again after fixing the bug above related to emails. Please let me know if we can move it to n2 after fixing the bug.
