Hello
Thank you again, Before I make the transition I was wondering, will I still have all past posts, and comments?
I understand I may have to make time and go back and relink certain things, but am I risking loosing, everyones contribution to the post with their comments and questions?

Sending a warm embrace,
Thank u,
Julissa
