So does anyone have any advice on the best way to convert very large tables into the new format? In addition to a lot of homebrew work, I have a giant Excel spreadsheet for the much used X stat to Y bonus thread, with individual columns for each "|" and cell entry which I've been irregularly updating and maintaining for around 5 years.

I was very computer savvy in 1996, but time has passed me by, and it seems as if I'm going to have to manually change lots of new code. "Find and Replace" doesn't seem like it will work, since I need to open and close each individual cell now.

Also, I'd just like to say I'm very thankful for this community and all the admins. I am deeply afraid that I will lose something I wrote and love that I forgot to back up, or that my crotchety old self won't be able to use the newfangled forum tools. But that's really my problem, and not something that can reasonably be prevented.
