I can`t put the update to the new version off any longer.It will be forced upon us in five days time.
I`m sure they will put us on the basic theme,so,no complaints about "not liking the colour etc;" until I can be bothered sorting it all out again

When this transfer happens some of you may have trouble logging on with your password.If this happens let me know and I`ll try and sort it out. You may get a prompt to reset it,if so, that`s the way to go. |

Alex: Reminder to check if any other sites have lost their site due to the transfer. If so, I agree that we should possibly get a hold of the database. |

Could only find one and the odds are that`s probably his own mistake. We will lose all the html though which means the hyperlinks and youtube stuff won`t work.Everything else should be transferred ok with the possible exception of the odd password needing reset. The template will revert to boringly normal and I`ll get round to that when it happens... We could fix the hyperlinks as and when we have time over the next month or so. Fingers crossed

Alex: $30 doesn't seem like much, or am I worrying unnecessarily If you think it is a good idea to purchase the backup then you had a vote of 3/4 of the comittee last night voting to do so. Let me know if you think it wise.
Anyone else want to give their opinion on this

Just on the principle that data doesn't really exist unless it's backed up I'd say that seems worth it. It'd be a real bummer to lose it all. |

Good question regarding the photobucket pics. Have emailed them but won`t get an answer until tonight when they start work in San Francisco or somewhere out there. I`m with Dom on the data backup.But,if the database comes with the photobucket pics replaced by text then I don`t think it`s worth it.Shall try and find out....they don`t start rolling it out until 1st June. |

If the photos were linked from Photobucket using the " img " tag then they should be ok. That should take care of the majority of them... |

I don`t think Flickr like hotlinking .... they prefer a direct link back to Flickr. Have noticed on forums, with a lot more traffic than ours admittedly,that photos hotlinked from Flickr are replaced after a few days by a space saying why... |

I use the same system as Photobucket - link to the img file, but make the picture into a hyperlink back to Flickr. I think that satisfies their T&Cs. |

I never even thought of clicking on the pic... 
Forum upgrade delayed again until late June sometime.Things like this make me nervous
