Things that you'll find a bit different...

1. If you changed your login name to a different display name on the old forum, you'll need to do the same thing here. When you do that, YOUR LOGIN NAME WILL HAVE BEEN CHANGED TOO. So you'll need to use your 'new' name for logging in going forward.

2. Personal messages are now called 'Conversations' and are accessed using the little envelope icon up by your username

3. Smileys will not all have been converted across to the new forum.

4. I hoped that old forum links will link through to this new forum. The script hasn't worked. I need more time to investigate...

More after I've had lunch...
 
Log in went smooth, no issues. Thanks for the update.
Have to check out all the gimmicks on here.

Regards Gerald
 
It's good stuff, Rob.
I particularly 'Like' the ability to react to posts.
It may help to prevent the sort of unpleasantness that recently caused unneccesary, extra effort on your part.
Maybe the bullies, like the outgoing p resident, might pull their neck in when they see that they don't represent others' point of view.
 
change is not good, next thing you know we will be sailing off the edge of the earth . Ha Ha only joking I like the new look. I have even managed to add a pic, never been able to do that before20170910_101914.jpg

Hi Rob,
I've to get used to the new look at first (that's probably due to my age 😇), but I think it's great that everything works well.
By all means many thanks for your work in the background which helps this bunch of folk still having their most beloved toy ...
(y)👏

One question wrt #2: Where can I find my "sent messages" in the new conversations?

Cheers
Jo

Thanks Jo. Sadly you have discovered one of the bugs in the import process. Sent personal messages (PMs) were not captured. I decided to go ahead now rather than wait for a fix for which no date could be offered. Sorry about that. I hope that it doesn't cause you too much grief.
