I recently upgraded from an old version, where we used unapprove as the means to hide posts but leave them in context (or soft-delete as many call it).
The hide functionality is absolutely perfect for how we use the forums, but the thousands of 'unapproved' posts all over the forum were a pain.
The upgrader should possibly ask "do you want to convert unapproved posts to hidden posts?"
I ended up doing it with a few queries directly in the db - doing each of them via mod panel would have been way too much.

Different Charity please

I noticed today that Invision are supporting Autism Speaks - http://www.invisionpower.com/charity
I would ask that you please choose another charity, Autism Speaks are widely despised by the autistic community because they do not have our interests in mind.
There are many many places online that will detail the criticism of Autism Speaks in great detail.
Here is one letter someone to another organisation supporting Autism Speaks earlier this year, which may interest you: Responding to Autism Speaks
From the letter:
They consistently work against the interests of autistic adults, and demean and demonise autism as a whole.
They outright ignore developments in the science... Even when they come from their own research - such as still promoting the now thoroughly disproven vaccine theory, and the overwhelming evidence that autism is genetic and not typically detrimental in itself.
As an autistic adult and a customer, I ask that you please do not support Autism Speaks.
They have done nothing but make it harder for the voices of actual autistics to be heard, and have been the driving force between the massively negative and dehumanising view of autism that most of the general public possess.
If you would like to help autistics, the autism community, or research to assist those with autism, please donate that money to one of the organisations that actually do help us, and help undo the damage Autism Speaks has been doing to autistics.
If you need more information, or would like to get in contact with organisations that could greatly benefit from such support, I am happy to direct you to the right places.
Just please, please not Autism Speaks.

From the letter:
Most people who support Autism Speaks are unaware of how offensive and demeaning their practices and language are to actual Autistic people. At the same time, organizations run primarily by Autistic people or that meaningfully include Autistic people, tend to be much less well known and have much less public attention.
