Started looking into the missing images and wacky users. So far no luck. I think its some issue w/ the character set and/or going from mysql 5.0 to 5.5 :/

ok so I reset all the settings back to how I originally had them, which means certain member profiles are broken again. I've posted up on the vbseo forum asking them why its broken as I believe I've tracked it down to two queries that VBSEO is doing that may not be compatible with mysql 5.5.
