Big forum update 5/27 - 5/28

[xxDeadxPoolxx]

Are my PM drafts going to cross over as well? Or should I save them elsewhere for now just to be safe?

They should save over as long as they're not made between the 25th and 27th. Like everything else.

My inbox too? I don't think the PM systems of the seperate systems are the same.

Everything will be fine.

Mostly everything will carry over, quit your worrying.

BUT WORRYING! IT BE IN MAH BLOOD AND ME SOUL!

The info that will carry over:
Import usergroup
Import user
Import forum
Import thread
Import smilie
Import post
Import Private messages
Import attachment
Import moderator

There will be a backup incase some things don't carry over.
Always a chance that something might get lost though.

Can I use your e-mail to ask you philosophical questions?

And what should we do if one of our important threads get lost?

Regenerate, and make moar.

If you have a link to the topic, I can restore it.
Basically what I need is the topic id #, which is inside a link to the topic.

Heres a link to a topic: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12625
The topic id # is 12625
so what I do is I duplicate the database, do a search for topic id # 12625, copy the topic, posts, and attachments associated with it, and I export it from the copy database and import it to the live database.

So if you have important topics, and you want to play it safe, go to the 1st page of your topic, copy the link to it, and save it in a file on your computer.

I believe you can do the same thing with private messages.

Oh, awesome

And what about the first question?

If we're getting a new forum layout, will we still be able to use the old ones?
