Great... just read the old private messages were removed a few weeks ago ....
Not so great really ... had lots of messages with references in there....
We announced they would be removed a few weeks ahead of when we did it.
The forum is in shambles .... what a lousy transition .. this happened a few years ago to ...
There's issues yes, but they are being resolved. Before you can make something better it has to work, and we always release early and often. It happened a few years ago to because moving from forum software to forum software is really tricky, we went WebWiz -> PHPBB -> Custom. There are no premade import/export tools for any of those transitions.
Perhaps hire a professional web developer? Ashley
That would be me, and we've also just hired Phill a new web developer. So you'll see lots of changes throughout the year.
What else about the forum is in "shambles" apart from formatting and search not yet available? Seems like hyperbole to me, it's working, it's far more reliable and faster than previously. There are issues, but they'll be ironed out over time.
