I think you should switch...BUT...you should do some research on the problems other admins have had with THEIR forums...HardForum changed and they ran into lots of unforeseen problems...they're still recovering...might wanna do a FULL backup on this forum just incase something screws up big time so you can revert back to this forums again and try again...HardForum was down for more than a month
On the other hand...SlickDeals converted to the newer version with no problems at all that I can see...I don't even remember any down time...I guess it depends on how much you know about the inner workings of the forums...how it works Maybe you could ask some of the ppl from other forums who have had experience in upgrading to the newer version to come and help...talk them and see what kind of problems that they ran into so you can prepare for those problems if they come up - Undercover Man P.S.: As for the Journal problem...AFTER you successfully upgrade the forum to the newer version you could load the old version up again and delete EVERYTHING except the journals and have just the journals working on the older version...kinda like the "start fresh and archive the old" idea...keep everything (cept for the Journals) and upgrade 100% and then have the other forum with just the journals in it... Just an idea Last edited by Undercover_Man; 06-06-2004 at 11:13 AM.. |

ok i would prefer just staying the course so to speak, but if we do switch over, i do not want a fresh start. i worked really hard to get my avatar back after tfp3 crashed, and also my journal is sorta something i can come back and look on to see how i've improved. but whatever you think hal!
