I've just saved a thread for future use and have many more saved. Are my bookmarks going to be rendered useless with the "new" forum?

[K2csq7]

When viewing a post with code or anything making it to wide, can we get it to start further on the left like under our names or something so we dont have to scroll to the right?

[Tyler Robertson]

Tim - Yes they probably will be. While the forum data itself will be persistent, all of your bookmarks will be pointing to a location that no longer exists.

 

If you can, I would say record the titles of the threads you bookmarked, and then search for them after we make the switch and re-bookmark them.

 

Unfortunately, since bookmarks are on your end, there's not really any sort of way we can re-link up your bookmarks, without us having the old forum paths still on the server, which is a nightmare.

[Tim Johnson]

Thanks Tyler.

@Keith

 

When displaying things while maintaining source formatting in an area not large enough to display it - something has to give.

 

In the new forums, if a chunk of code (for example) is pasted in, the forum will wrap the text but in the case of a steady stream of characters, stretch to its width causing you to have to scroll the whole page to the right.

 

More ideally, if you use the Code button when inserting code, that portion of your post will display within a frame that allows you to scroll that area, leaving the rest of the thread in tact.

I convert the pages I want into PDF. You can even add to an existing PDF if the thread gets a new post

[Tim Johnson]

That's a good idea Keith. I'll look into that.

[Webby]

Not yet But getting there.

 

On that note, there will have to be some downtime *gasp* as we try to bring over all the content from this forum to the new one. Anyone have preference as to when that should happen as far as days of the week?

[spade117]

Over the weekend.

[Jayson Kramer]

I would say Friday.

[Mic6]

Between 5am and 2:30...so I can get something done for once.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Friday night seems as good a time as any...

[Webby]

We are going to work with a company that specializes in these conversions rather than messing with it ourselves. The upside is of course hopefully having a clean conversion and losing as little data as possible. The downside is they're a M-F outfit.

 

If we do it on a Friday, there's no support over the weekend should something go wrong. The current thought is to try for a Thursday, if there are issues, iron them out Friday then we should be all systems go by the following Monday the latest.

[RandyN]

Will our member number carry over? I know its not really important, but its still a bit of status being one of the first to join back when..

 

P.S. Even if we haven't posted a whole lot over the years
