Yes, I know - already?? Anyway, soon after I built this forum, addonsfan, from over at the Avant forum, PM'd me, offering to host this forum for free. He said he and abfan123 (also in the Avant forum) run Mihopa, a company which hosts websites. So I accepted the offer, and addonsfan was even nice enough to set the forum up. So right now I'm looking around on Forumotion to see if there's a way to import this forum into the other one (I like the other one better Very Happy ). But keep in mind, this change isn't definite...I'll keep you updated on what happens.

Well, addonsfan and I tried to import this forum into the other one, but he found a thread in the Forumotion support forum that said there's no way to export a Forumotion forum. So, as of right now, it's staying right here. What I'll probably do is, when I have a lot of free time, build up the other one and once it's done, make the switch over to the other forum. How's that sound?

Don't worry; I think you'll like the new forum better, vtel. It's a phpBB3 forum, whereas this one is phpBB2. In the new forum, I'll be able to create and import multiple styles. Plus, there are more features in my administration control panel than in this one. Wink I'm building it to be just like this one, in terms of categories, forums, etc. The styles and ranks will be a little different, though.

Well, actually, I built alot of it up today. Here's the new link:
ourboard2007.mihopa.net
I'm not sure when I'll close this one down yet. I'll probably wait until Rickleeserarode gets back from vacation...either that or I'll just send him an email.

Unfortunately, yes. Addonsfan found a thread in the Forumotion support forum that says there's no way to import a Forumotion forum into a different one. Sad But the good news is, I re-did the ranks over there, so you'll only have the "Newbie" title until you get 10 posts. Smile

Actually, there is a way I can move topics from here over to there...using good ol' Copy and Paste. The only thing is, everybody who participated in those topics would have to sign up over there. I would select the message bodies, and post them in the other forum. Then, through the mod control panel, change the post author to whoever posted that message. But I'd just do it with the most active topics. WOTD, word games, and the like can stay here. Wink

I wouldn't worry about moving stuff. A fresh start won't hurt too terribly.
