Site updates and migration

Postby flyinglemming on Mon Nov 17, 2008 6:29 pm

Greetings,

Due to various reasons which includes tackling spam, server maintainance and administration, we will be moving the site over to a new server and be converting all forum posts and articles into phpBB3

The forum itself has been converted and will temporary reside in http://talesweaver.nxnexus.com effective immedately. However, due to the time it took to prepare and convert the forum posts; any forum posts and new users since around 12pm GMT 2008 November has not been carried across from the old server. The forum avatars were unfortunately not successfuly migrated across; please reupload into this new board.

I will be making the old forum "read only" and the next stage will be to convert the "Avatale" articles into BB code. Once that has been completed, the articles can be managed fully using the forum software and I will be able to fully migrate the domain name http://www.talesweaver.org to work as a standalone website as well.

Thank you for your patience.

There's still quite a lot to do, but hopefully these forthcoming updates will revitalise the community.

I can see that. I don't know about revitalizing the community but this should at least keep it spam free. I like all the little additions/features these new forums have.

Yeah, the lack of "Newest Posts" completely threw off my equilibrium.

Yeah, phpBB3 is pretty sweet. You can really customize your forums.

The newest post columns are coming back, but not quite yet (it was always custom coded before). I've got other things to sort out first but should come round to that eventually.

Since Lemming has yet to deactivate the feature, a moderator is required to approve of every new post that is made. So people, don't be alarmed when your post doesn't appear instantly. :P

There's a "View active topics" link near the top of the board index that does pretty much the same thing. Though it is nice to see it at the side on the index...:S
