Converting to Drupal

I need to convert a lot of data from an old site. I have about 10,000 users I need to migrate. There current info is in a MySQL database so moving the users names, passwords, and profile data isn't a problem except I can not locate any info on the Drupal users system.
Simple things like how roles are stored and the password encrypted.
Anyone know where I can find the docs for this information?

Hi,
Lately, I have been working in a project that demands that the data that is entered from the users must be validated. I wrote the whole code in php, and it worked fine outside Drupal (The required fields must be filled and the optional ones must not), with a javascript form validator (gen_validatorv2.js from www.javascript-coder.com).

When I included the php code in my drupal site (include 'blablabla/form.php'), the validation did not worked.

Disclaimer: I have already searched the forums and the handbook.

I just installed drupal for the first time, but the site looks like trash. It is text only, and I cannot figure out why it doesn't allow me to add pics and configure it for myself. Please look at it and tell me how to fix it.

Hi,

I am planning to migrate the website http://www.tutorial-reports.com to drupal to ease out the process of updating with tutorials and reports.

The website deals with tutorials and articles on recent technologies. I want to keep the exact layout particularly of the adsense ads that the website now supports. Also, ideally I want to keep separate adsense channels for each section.

I'm moving a website to drupal from another CMS.

In the old CMS the link for a news article was

http://www.example.com/news/news-item/1234

I moved the content to the drupal database preserving the same IDs

In the new Drupal web the articles can be accessed by

http://www.example.com/node/1234

How can I automatically redirect request to /node/1234 ?
