Forums Move *Updated*
*update*
Due to missing a critical window the forum move has been delayed by a week or so. We will update again when we restart the work.
Today we start work on the forum move which we have been working on for some weeks. The initial announcement was made on July 16th and stated that we would be removing and losing
all the forum attachments. Due to member concerns we have reviewed that
situation and will take on additional expense to maintain attachment
hosting on our new forums, thanks to the new host also taking on extra
work to enable us to do that via CDN (Content Delivery Network).
This extra work has been the cause of the delay, otherwise the move would have been complete a couple of weeks ago.
During the move, these vBulletin forums are now effectively in a “read
only” state. This will allow us to copy the content from these forums
without data changing, or being lost after the copy.
The merger will have some benefits like the very latest in forum
software, integrated login from TSR and a few extra bangs and whistles
to what you are used to with vBulletin, which we have allowed to run
somewhat out of date I’m afraid.
Once the merger is complete we are going to have a spring clean with the
forums, merging and deleting some of the older, irrelevant forums and
creating what will hopefully be a much easier, cleaner way of navigating
the forums. Once we are happy that things are working and stable we
will open up the forums in their new home which will hopefully be during
this coming weekend.
Fingers crossed, and we hope to see you on the very latest Invision forums soon!
