nutlaw-

okay, here's the results.

i did a complete re-install, as suggested. i did not copy over ALL of the data files.

i brought over 'database', 'ballcaps', jerseys', and 'logos' into the general 'data' folder.

then i created a RIBC.lg folder and brought over the 17 .dat files and 'news'. ('messages' automatically gets updated with all old info once you fire up the league). i had an idea that the issue might've been something in the news, but that turned out to be wrong, i think.

i then fired up the league and was able to do anything/everything. the graphics were not accurate, obviously. the only real strange thing was that the news was all blank. i can only surmise that this stems from an option i chose near the end of the copying over, which i cannot remember exactly what it said, unfortunately. you are given choices for merging files several times (i copied onto the news already there), and it was the final couple that i think might've been crucial here.

but i am NOT concerned. at all. heck, it looks like a clean slate, which is all right by me. the news will become repopulated soon enough, so i have no complaints.

the bikini island bombers have got to be wondering if i am tampering with things. the day prior to all of this, they lost a top bullpen pitcher and jerry sinden, a top-10 slugger in the league whom they just traded for two weeks prior. both are out for the duration (it is august 18 right now, and they are one game ahead of the hard-charging ceylon intuders). in the first game back last night, they lost their #3 all-time VORP leader in CF sameer rose, all but handing ceylon the title on a platter.

so, as you can see - the intrigue and excitement of the RIBC season is back. i did not even mention that the liverpooll dung beetles and birmingham bollocks are tied with three games to go in the AAA English Premiership League.

bottom line - the league is now WORKING. we all thank you very much for your efforts, nutlaw. i've had a lot of mopey 30-somethings whinging to me daily, and you have turned their sad little frowns upside-down. ceylon will wear a commemorative 'nutlaw' graphic on our jerseys next season in honor of your selfless help.
