ouch pete... talk about outdated forums...

[legoalex2000]

i was just looking into YaBB just to see if there was a new version, something better than PHPBB.

yabb and xnull no longer exist, so much for keeping up to date.

so what would you move to if you had to?

Oi - Pete moved once. You want all the info lost again? :-/
No thanks. Keep it outdated.

[pete]

Yabb does exist - it moved to a new home a few years ago.

http://www.yabbforum.com/

& we did attempt an upgrade - even had the Yabb developers attempting to do it for us - but it wouldn't convert.

It seems the only solution may be to delete all posts over 2 years old. Sad but maybe necessary. Still looking at other options though.

[Craig.]

To be fair how many posts are really read that are 2 years old? Its nice when some people do look back for the info they need but most just ask the questions anyway. Check all the stickies for age, if older just copy and re-post. And bite the bullet I guess.

But my post count would be halved!



Do whatcha gotta do.

[Craig.]

oh yeah, good point. NOOOOOOOOOOO
Just make a note of how many you have and ask an admin to correct it after the delete.

Oh no, it took me this long to get this many-how well I ever recover!!!  

[Saitek]

I like the post count for my own benefit - not for any competition - I'm no where near the top 15 and don't post enough to break into it.

Please don't scrap it Pete. Or allow everyone over resident status to volenteer their names for the change.

Oh, neither do I-my post was more of a joke really.

[Saitek]

No worries Richie the post was just to the world in general - not to anyone specifically.  :)

[legoalex2000]

world? you mean the cylinder that we can't fly to the poles?

ahh... yeah not in that world either

well, don't dix it if you don't have to. i dont know the behind the scenes of your forum, but from what i can tell, about 90% of this frum runs pretty well. a couple of glitche, but we can and have lived wih it.

I can't say I see any problems with the current set up (from my end of course). If it ain't broke, don't change it...

If you do decide to switch to phpBB they can automatically convert the forum over to their platform using one of the packages at the bottom of the downloads page
