Forum conversion has happened!

Hmm, great stuff and everything. I don't really see a reason for using SMF 1 though... 2 looks better and is easier to use, IMO. And there shouldn't be too many mods that don't exist for 2, but for 1, that you really need.

Edit: And it totally screw up my avatar. D:

Edit2: That's better.

Give 'em time dude, give 'em time!

Marcus, if you read this: New members are starting on +100 rep. Can you fix this?

Fixed that for you .

We might move to 2 at some stage, but 1 seems to be pretty good for now. I think a move from 1 to 2 wouldn't be massively difficult, but we're concentrating for the time being on settling in and getting things sorted out between the old and new forum. Minimising disruption is, thusly, priority #1.

Ok, I see.

The other factor I need to admit is that I do have 9 exams in the next month or so, which is slowing my workrate; I'd be much more likely to consider a second change (if there is the appetite for it) in July when I've got more time to do any manual work on it that needs doing. Marcus has done pretty much all the heavy lifting on this move.

Anyway, good to see you around again and do take a poke round all the various areas of the site.

The new site awards system for citizens has begun - if you're not a citizen, hard luck but now's the time to get posting and go for it!

[Goldyrulz]

Does that start from now? I.e. Get over 1000 posts, some have that already? Therefore, doesn't count?

[Jubal]

I think we've ruled it does start from now (in order to stop us trawling through every mod release we've ever done counting up points), so you'll have to hit the 2k mark before getting points for it (It's get over a 1000 post mark, so you get points for hitting 2k, 3k, 4k, etc). Get working on it.

[Goldyrulz]

Yes sir!

[Marcus]

The rationale for moving to SMF 1.1 is purely because the script I used to shift the posts only works with 1.1. When 2.0 is stable (I know it pretty much is already but officially) I will transfer.

[Andalus]

I've noticed that some posts from before the transition have been cut off before the end. It doesn't seem to be posts over a certain word limit or to have any rationale to it; seemingly just random.

[Jubal]

Okay, rep for posts is disabled and reps above 10 reset to 10 to make sure it's actual rep we're seeing.

[Goldyrulz]

No fair.......

[Jubal]

Can we get the old bar that links in to the rest of the site back up at the top, Marc?
