this is good to know. I have a lot of old closed threads, that I still like to revisit at times. Sentimentality yanno. Some people do become like family, and unfortunately some of those loved ones are no longer with us.
I'm thinking we can shrink the Supporting Member badge a bit.
As for the avatars, we'll have to see what the final size is going to be. That's not set in stone. Yet.
The current supporting member badge is pretty. The new one is ugly. It looks like something out of the 1950's. (Just my opinion).
I might have missed it but there will be a thread to ask questions, even stupid ones, and get answers fairly quickly. I have a few already but won't know what to ask till I get a hands on view.
I vote for keeping the current "Supporting Member" badge - it's classier
I agree!!!
It probably doesn't work as well on low-res devices...(guessing).
Well, this is all guesswork, but for
and just to discuss it a bit (the people in the know can comment for real, I'm just discussing...)
There's a trend in computers right now to simplify and flatten UI (User Interface) stuff and mono-color it. Some may know it from "the metro interface" in Windows or many mobile devices. You even see it in advertising on TV with a flat color background and mono-color text on top. Like I said, I think it's a trend. Note the buttons we have now.
So some web designer's feelings are being stomped on real hard right now. I'm sure they can import the current badge/logo if they want to. They didn't. They went out of their way to make a new one. There's a reason to do it. Maybe just consistency. Maybe something else. But I think we should at least kick it around a bit.

As we have many forum suppliers who can not ask stuff here, how will the move affect them? is there anything they need to do on their end?
Answering this one cuz I know the answer.
This thread will be cleaned up and closed. It will contain all the how to's and tutorials.
The rest of the posts will go into a new thread and we can continue to ask questions as we are doing now.
Or he could flip flop it and move all the how to's into a new thread and keep this one for questions
As to Supporting member badges: I don't know
As to Suppliers: I don't know (but like the rest of us, I don't think they need to do anything different.)
They have a Private Supplier's Forum where they can ask their questions
classie, you picked that avi long ago....... you knew we were moving, eh?

Badges? BADGES! We don't need no stinkin' badges!
Needless to say, that's going to be so low on the priority list right now, it's not even on the radar.
Once the forum is converted and running smoothly, we'll take a look at it.

It is indeed. That trend somehow reminds me of Soviet era architecture in eastern Europe, in which aesthetics played no role.
Question that may have been asked and or answered- my apologies to retired1 if you have to repeat yourself!!
I think I remember that you said that all ratings will transfer. When submitting feedback for a classifieds transaction we have to inlcude the link to the sale post. Being that the url linked to the feedback will be from this site, will it work or will the link be inactive or not found when clicked on the new software?
I do go back to those posts from time to time.

Typically with software conversions for large boards, there's usually a provision in the server's .htaccess file to rewrite the old links. I assume we will have that provision. However, if the URLs for some reason are not rewritten then those links will be dead.
Also, I know you addressed this question to retired1 but I thought I'd chime in and see if I could help answer.
