IMPORTANT FORUM NEWS

Postby Firefly » Wed Nov 17, 2010 10:02 am

Hi everyone,

I don't know if you remember me discussing a few months ago that we were going to be migrating this forum to our website in due course. A date has been set and we'll be migrating in the next couple of weeks. With the change in the forum, you should find it runs smoother and faster and also it will look fresher and be more secure.

However, passwords will not be copied across. Passwords will need to be reset when the forum has migrated. Also, I'm afraid that we are unable to move images across, so perhaps ensure you have backups of any important ones. And this is a good excuse to get crafting and upload lots more once it's been migrated!

We will need 10 preliminary testers to check everything is working correctly, so please could you email me at alicelipscombe-southwell@originpublishing.co.uk if you would like to do some testing for us. I have three testers already, but we really do need some more.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch, either on here or via email.

I hope this all makes sense!

Thanks

Alice

Hi everyone,

Just to inform you all, we should be migrating the forum early next week onto the [i]C&P[/i] website.

With the change in the forum, you should find it runs smoother and faster and also it will look fresher and be more secure.

However, passwords will not be copied across. Passwords will need to be reset when the forum has migrated. Also, I'm afraid that we are unable to move images across, so perhaps ensure you have backups of any important ones. And this is a good excuse to get crafting and upload lots more once it's been migrated!

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch, either on here or via email.

I hope this all makes sense, and fingers crossed it all goes well next week, we will be on hand to help if necessary.

Thanks

Alice

Thanks Alice. The new forum is much easier to use once you get used to it, have been testing with CMo3 and Spyder.

Alice has said you will be able to use your current forum name but will need to get a new password. It isn't there yet.

Hi all,

I would have updated you yesterday but I'm afraid I was off with this nasty sickness bug that's doing the rounds - the forum migration has been pushed back until next week so nothing has moved yet.

I'm so sorry for the delay and would have let you know yesterday, but only received the email when I came back to work today.

Thank you,

Alice
