If it might help fix the issues, then I see no issues.  Will it break links and avatars and pictures, or will those just be converted?

Some people prefer a dark background with light text and others prefer a light background with light text, like we have available on the forum now.  The last link for dark looks nice - does it also come in a light version, so we can have both?

[NoHumorMan]

Though, the first link has a black and red version, which looks good too.  But it may be too aggressive on the eyes, for some.

[NoHumorMan]

I could post examples of the two versions on the forum and see which one people prefer?  Could you give me a week to come back with a verdict from the users?

[NoHumorMan]

It's been a while since I've dealt with the inner workings of forums.  But what do you mean by main features?  We have a few hidden sections that needs to remain hidden (also so users cannot see new posts in the new posts feed from those sections.  Is that what you mean?

[ForumMate]

Ok, I will give it a test, keep both forums but just you can see.
That feature is included in the forums so should be ok.

If it looks good we can do another conversion and move the url old to new url will stay the same.
I see some issues with keeping topic urls will see if there is a plugin with the new phpBB version

Got one reply back on the forum style.  And I agree with that user that this one might be the best look:

Great. Can you send me the link to download page not the screenshot.


Also, any feedback on the link i sent for the newboard. Your old login should work.

[ForumMate]

Just checking if you had a chance to review?

[NoHumorMan]

Got more opinions on people preferring this look to the forum:

I'm not sure what I should review on that link you wanted me to review.  The alternate forum made looks decent and seems to work fine.

[NoHumorMan]

Will the update screw up permission settings on the accounts?  As mentioned before there are hidden sections that users should not be able to access or view the new posts from.

And will it fix the ability to upload avatars?

[ForumMate]

Permissions and everything should be ok test on http://thepropden2.aokforums.com/

It should fix avatars.

If it all looks good I can copy latest posts and change old to new. Via the url.

[NoHumorMan]

The forum link doesn't show the grey and black style.

And the "Officially Licensed Props Discussion" still shows it has no posts on the front page, even though it has a lot of posts.  Is that a bug that is fixed when the transfer i made?

Also, please wait with the switch.  I need to alert my co-admins about this and the forum itself.  I'll ask them to not post anything when I give the okay to make the switch, so we make sure we do not lose anything.

[ForumMate]

I have not installed the style on that version. I want to see if this is acceptable.

"Officially Licensed Props Discussion"
That i have no idea was hoping latest version would fix, might require a maintenance task to run in phpbb


Yes, i would do a final copy before the move.
