Project 7 is a lie... And there is cake.
On a more serious note, a number features of what's to come are beginning to come together.
I believe Gavvie has mentioned this already but when the switchover happens, the forums will be reset. The forums will be backed up before the switchover so we should have a copy in case anything is thought of after, but anything linked to externally from RadioSEGA obviously won't be. (eg. Photobucket images etc).
Start thinking now if there's anything you want to keep and feel free to PM, DM or email me.

So to clarify, all the threads and posts will be saved?

Ah...so the friends list is going to be wiped out, along with the visitor messages and PMs...right?

I've just tried to copy the current user list across to the new forum and so far, it's looks to have gone successfully.

Threads and posts will be backed up so should you need to recover something after the switch, we should be able to find it, however the threads and posts will not be part of the new forum.

So far, the friends are intact. I shall be testing this with Gavvie soon. If you would like me to keep the visitor messages,
I'll look into trying to migrate those as well, but as it stands, these are not in the new version. edit: I've managed to migrate these.
This is the first time I've ever attempted to not only migrate all users, but to do it while crossing vBulletin versions.
Please Note: None of the avatars have been copied across. You will need to re-apply these.

I'm looking into migrating the forums, yeah. I've you looked at the visitor messages, between these two messages, you'll have noticed that I broke them

. They should be back in this version and the next now.

Thought they'd be a bigger fanfare..

Fanfare? Once I see it, then I'll give my part of the fanfare out. But, I am surprised this whole process with migrating the boards happened as fast. It's going to be tougher with the playlists will it?
