ECF is Preparing to Move to New Forum Software

[Susan~S]

I'm in the process of taking steps (starting with all my PM's) to make this new change be as painless as possible for me.

Per Rolygate posted on 04/09:

Next week we are moving from our old faithful forum software, vBulletin, to a newer application called XenForo.

The changeover day will be late in the week and most likely on or before Saturday 18th. We'll post a Notice just before it happens.

You can expect pretty much everything to be different, so there will be lots of fun

This has been in the planning for over a year now, and is finally going live. It isn't easy moving a giant forum to a new application, so it's taken some time to do.

Definitely a good idea. Besides archiving my PMs onto my computer, I can't see anything else we can do ahead of time. Hopefully, this transition will go off pretty painlessly.

Not worried about it. The more things change ... the more they stay the same anyway.

Doesn't matter what they do. . . I need this place a lot more than they need me. I am looking forward to it and sure we will all figure it out. Especially with help from our friends.

and YouTube heehee

I agree completely.

I can't remember all the new features this upgrade comes with but I know there are some (new features) that members have been asking for.

Thanks for the heads up Susan, I didn't know this was happening. Should be fun

Is there an easy way to archive PMs to my computer? I just had a quick look and didn't see anything.

What about thread subscriptions?

Select the messages you wish to save then, at the bottom of the PM screen, click the drop down. Select whichever format you wish and save them!

Further to the above ^^^^

If you want to save ALL of your PM's, just click one of the choices at the bottom of the Inbox screen:

(I save mine as Text, but choose your preference ).

good luck with the transition ...good for y'all this format's buggy as heck (used to run an Alumni General Board for the better part of a decade back in the early 2000s)

thanks for all y'all do..I'm sure any little inconveniences are nothing compared to what you've given us

I just hate change. There, I said it. Will probably take me a week just to figure out how to sign in again. Does anybody worry about us non-techies?

I will figure it out. I'm just still mad about them taking away our rotary dial phones.

Hell, I think it's going to be an easy way to clear my in-box
