We could use some "eyes on" the new forum and the conversions. I've done a lot of work tailoring the conversion scripts so they would bring over all the existing posts and users. I'm pretty happy with it so far. There are a few formatting changes, things like images getting put in different places than they were in the original post, things like that. That's a small price to pay to move the posts over, in my opinion. We'll retain the originals in archives, because there are lots of links (all over the internet) that point to them. But by importing all posts into the new forum database, we gain a measure of consistency through the years. I like that and I hope you all will too.What I need is for as many of you as possible to search through the posts to find any bugs you can. Try out the forum, make posts, update your user information and modify your password. Just play with it and see what it will do. Let me know if you find any broken links or other problems. Write to me at webmaster@audioroundtable.com and I'll maintain a defects list and either fix them or deal with them in some way.
I've only uploaded a few forums, just enough to test with. This isn't a permanent move yet - so don't post important stuff in the new forum. Make test posts if you want, change account info, learn the user interface, navigation and things like that. We'll delete it all and reload from the archives in a few days after we've had time to evaluate the existing data load. I just want to see if I can identify any more problems and fix them before doing the final conversions and turning off the old forum.
