    The site will be moving server and forum format with a few days.

    Please read, download and empty your inbox, sent messages, and stored messages. The messages may not carry over.

    The day before, the site will go into read only mode, with a "trash"
    forum for discussion. These discussions will NOT carry over.

    VB4 wasn't reliable or mature enough a product for quite a while.

    Seems we'll be going for VB4 now :)

    ASSEMbler are you going to install the CMS version or just upgrade the forum?

    Thanks for the heads up, I already backed up all my PMs.

    Looking forward to this. I don't really frequent many other forums but when I do it's a shock to the system what with all of their fancy plugins and graphics.

    Will be a welcome change.

    Sounds good. I've backed up all my messages. Do we need to delete them as well?

    A small request: when you do the migration, could you please return the Off Topic forums to the way they were (a single forum)? I think a lot of people would appreciate that, myself included.

    So how are you supposed to backup your personal messages? Manual cut and paste? or is there an export function?

    Not too fond of all the new plugins tbh :/ I like a simple forum.

    You wouldn't believe how many people want the old style back, myself included. ASSEMbler did mention it was on the cards a while back but he's been very busy as of late. Fingers crossed he has time to do it in the update.
