Flake? You there? Are you ready for my dumb question of the day? :confused:

Will we still have access to the old threads once the transfer to the new program is complete? There are some old threads I reread, like the SKMB Halloween Story and the October Horror Movie Marathon and others. Will my bookmarks to those old threads continue to work?

Not a dumb question at all... :smile:

The transfer is already complete. I did copy the Halloween story over earlier today as it had only just been completed before the switch and so many folks may have missed out on viewing it, but other data won't be moved over.
I think by the end of this coming week, the old board will be archived and though Admin will still have access, it won't be available for us to link to/view. (Please correct me if this is wrong, Jordan/Marsha)

If people would like to save any of their P.M's (or their October Horror Movie Marathon list etc) now would be a good time for doing this.

Thanks Flake, I was afraid that might be the case. :(
I do know it's worrying, we have been through this a number of times before... the positive thing is how quickly it all builds up to being a big atmosphere with bulging threads ( :Oo: soooo wrong!) again--just see how full (and great) the threads were a few days ago? We need to remember that they weren't that way when that board first begun... "we can rebuild them" and we will, just wait and see. :love:

Let me just log in and go look. (I also don't want to make too many decisions about this stuff without Marsha's say so.)

lol... Sorry Flake, I get up waaaaay too early and you get stuck with my questions. I will wait until Monday before I ask another question lol.

Well... Just one more question :confused: May I c&p a couple posts from the old boards to the new boards? I promise I won't go overboard lol

It's definitely okay to start new threads with the same title from the old board, but please don't move over any content contained within the threads. :smile:

Oh... Ok... It was content I wanted to move. Can y'all keep these screenies of a couple of John's posts somewhere safe?

(arghhhhh... I clicked in the icon with the mountains and the sun but it won't let me upload a screenie from my computer - it wants a url)

All of the content will be kept safe, none of it will be lost.

Can you send me a link (from the old board) to the posts you're talking about?

Back... Sorry it took me so long, I had to exit the site to make sure the link worked.

See here.

I (reeeeeally) don't mean to be rude when I say this, but we're probably not going to be able to do this (in general) for folks. (do it for one, the many may ask...)
I do realise those two messages are kind of special and do very much relate to our current situation. (which is why I think it'll be okay to have done it this once)

The archive will be public, but it may be just this.
