The new forum is open and ready for posts. We hope you enjoy the added features of the new phpBB software. It’s better supported and more open sourcy than the old Simple Machines Forum.
The migration took longer than expected because our host timed out while uploading the new database. We had to break it into parts and do it a little at a time.
Everything transferred: users and passwords, posts, messages, permissions, topics, attachments.
Over the next few hours we’ll finish up with fixes to the appearance, fix some unrecognized attachments, and redirect old topic links to the new forum.
It seems like the forum is still read-only to normal users! For instance I can’t create a new thread or modify an existing post. Anything wrong?
Thanks, I’ll look into it now.
Looks to be working now! I can edit only posts made after the migration, which makes sense.
Hurray! It has a “view active topics” feature. That is very useful.
