Ah, yeah... I tried to discourage people from listing HH's until a hitchhiker option was available since I knew it would be problematic to convert them later.
Ypu. Once a box is entered, you can't switch what type of box it is. Different types record different information in different tables. "Normal" boxes store information about trail length and location--which have no equivelents in the hitchhiker world. And people who've found hitchhikers can record where and in what box they found the hitchhiker--something that those who find normal boxes don't have to worry about.
Consequently, there's not really an easy programmatic way to convert a box between different types--and in rare cases is there ever a reason to do so in the first place. So, alas, there is no way to convert between them on the website, and probably never will be.
But if you give me a list of the boxes you'd like converted, I can manually tweak the database a bit and get it to work. =)

Nah, I've already converted them manually.
Thanks however!
