Been under dev for a couple of months - I wanted it perfect. This may go live next week 😉

I’ve been loving it since you first said we were going over :D

Have we figured out how to move all the threads?  I don’t want to lose my 1337 post count…

are we going to have to register there or will the database be transfered over?

im guessing that will be replaced with this.. but he needs to figure out how to transfer members and posts from here to t.here..

I’m sure the peeps at EE know all about the forums we’re using now and have started to create a script to convert it.. It’s not all that hard.

Actually, it is VERY difficult, and the script is not yet done for transferring data.

The new forum is tied in to the main Gear Live database. This means that whatever username you log in to on the blog to leave comments is the same name you would use on the new forums. Once the database conversion script is done, it will import everything into the new board.

I’ll be honest and say it looks nothing different than this one.

I have an issue…

You can’t send a link to a post, just a thread.  Like on this thread if I want to show someone the thread I send:
http://www.gearlive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14247

If I want to link to a particular post I post:
http://www.gearlive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=266033#266033

When I get an email notification of someone posting I get linked directly to the new post, on the new board it only links to the thread.  This will get super annoying if there are like 10 pages of posts.  Is this something we can enable or fix?

Anchor tags have to be included within every post. Most likely going to have to be put by the people in a new release of ee.

But its a needed thing.  It would suck without it, trying to find the last post…

a few requests:

can you transfer these smilies over? i really like these 😊

enable Avatar linking… it’s getting annoying (yeah, i kno9w, it’ll be done by launch time)

is there a way in EE to have each user choose their own theme? i hate to admit, but orange isn’t my style :oops:  (i like pastels… easier, err, EEsier, on the eyes)

You can’t use the same login and password as here. You have to use the account you made onwww.gearlive.com if you have one. If you don’t I think you will have to register again.
