Title: Forum Update - PLEASE READ
Post by: thatquailplace on April 20, 2004, 02:20:04 AM
Well,  I have some bad news!  Our transfer to a new hosting company means that we can no longer use the old forum (brand name Snitz).  This means a loss of 10,000 messages. Trust me - you can't make me feel any worse than I do!

Also,  you must re-register, which is very simple. Click Register in the top right hand corner.  You will recieve an email after registration to verify your email address and activate your new accout.


Now for the good news!  This new forum ROCKS with new features and many neat things will come.  I wanted to get the new forum up and running as quickly as possible, but I will continue to customize it with cool features.  Trust me, it will be better than the old on by a long shot.

I encourage you to post new messages to your hearts desire.

Big Tex you need to register as a new user again.  I was going to recommend to Shawn if he reads this:

Shawn, you may want to set up a big red flashing light somewhere telling people they need to register all over again in order to post as a registered user.  I fiddled around here for a while and finally realized all the user accounts had been lost too!
Title: old data
Post by: isda on April 20, 2004, 06:12:17 PM
What database are you using on your back end?  Couldn't you get your old hosting co. to export your old data, usernames, pw's etc...?  Just curious, I do this sort of thing all day long.

Going to take some getting used to but I'm sure after we all get the hang of it things will be alot better.  I like the new features and I agree on the chat room idea.  This is my first post so we'll see if it works!

Well that worked out just fine.  I just realized though one feature on the old site I'm definately going to miss unless I havent discovered it here yet.  Thats the folders turning purple letting you know they havent been viewed yet.  That was a very useful feature that I always used to read new posts.

No one ever likes change. I just joined the forum about 2 weeks ago, what a great learning tool. I am sure this new version of the forum will be even better then the old one.  :lol:

Was this change expected? I had the location saved in my favorites and it kept on coming back blank when trying to log on.   It only took me three days to figure it out. hope the data builds quick some of us really need the info, thanx from Crookston Mn

Well I think we will be rebuilding for a while but this will be better in the end.
ADMINISTRATOR::: can you get us a link on the jump to forum section to go to all forums. As it is now you must go back to the home page then to the forums.

Also since there are several gun dog owners can we get a forum dedicated to Buying/Selling/Breeding dogs?

Post by: britguy33 on April 22, 2004, 01:58:04 AM
nevermind about the jump to feature I figured it out I didn't look at the top of the page. Sorry.

It would be great if we could salvage the old posts. But We can Rebuild it and make it stronger, faster and smarter.

This will take some getting used to.  I agree with many others that the information that was lost isn't cool. I've been wandering why I couldn't get this site to come up for a few days.

Go into your profile and down at the bottom there is a field 'Upload Avatar from your machine:'.  If you click the browse button it should bring up the file explorer on your local machine.  Picture has to be 100X100 or less I believe.

If you didn't bump the site, just took it offline you can bring all the old threads over to this new forum and put them in a archieve section. The http://poultryyouth.com did this.
