Upgrade - Updates on what is hapening

[Andrew Brierley]

This forum is great value and saved me a fair chunk of money. Although to be fair, it has also encouraged me to spend money that I wasn't planning to More than happy to contribute, so pls send me the PP details.

So got new forum installed and working, busy mucking about with the importer. At 1am I started making stupid mistakes so called it a day.

Graham, The current one could have supported other file types, I just disabled them. As Paul said, hold fire for a bit; suggestions will get lost in the noise in in thread. I you wanted to start a Wish List thread, no harm in that.

Still would like some help with the look and field side of things.

The new stuff is here: http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/
Very very bland ATM and will change as I work on it so don't be surprised. Note that, for now, your username and password will not work on the new one.

Quick question, what will happen to all the links to the old forum? Will they eventually divert to the new one?

 

[Bat21]

What links Rob?

 

[Rob]

Like this link, or all the ones listed in the first post of the link: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=316

Reason I ask is all the links on the new forum point to the old one.

 

[Crispin]

The converter will replace them Rob to point to the same post in the new one.

 

[Rob]

I understand that you can change the links that are posted within these forums, but what about links from external sources? Will they eventually forward you to the new forum?

 

[TonyP]

Ok, update on the money front. All the folk who have either posted here offering or have pm'd me have had pm's.

Funds stand at: £157.00 The following have donated thus far, thanks very much

Thanks

Hmm, good point. The converter does keep track of old->new. I will write a remapper so if someone hits and old link they will be redirected to the new post. Unless of course there is already one out there but it's a quick and easy thing to add.

Do you need a pay pal account as I don't have one and don't have a baldie about them.
Enjoy the site and the banter and grateful for the advice so more than willing to donate.

Cheers
Phil

What about a bank transfer, but not something I would want to open to all.
