Forum migration during the week 18th April

[admin 4]

Hi all,

 

we will migrate the current forum to a new platform starting from tomorrow, 18th April and anticipate that during the migration the forum will not be accessible or some content posted on the old forum during the migration will not be carried over.

 

All content posted in the last few years will carry over automatically.

The forum is migrated. We are aware of one issue where a new user is created if you sign on. We will fix this issue and will merge your content once we have a fix in place.

This issue has now been fixed. We are aware that for some users new threads need to be approved first. This moderation is not intentional and we will sort those small issues out in the next few days.

Hi all,

although our forum migration is complete we have noticed that for some users posting a new topic requires moderator approval. The reason for moderation/approval is the posting of non-verified links/URLs to images and other sites. This is intentional to reduce forum spam. Once we have validated an external domain/link, we will whitelist the domain and future posts referencing those domain-links will automatically be posted.

Forum software has been upgraded - some noteworthy features:

• Images can be pasted directly into the editor
• Forums can be displayed as table (default, grid or fluid) - buttons next "Start New topic"
• Many enhancements under the hood
