Please tell me we won't lose post count in the process! Everything else I can live with. Progress is good, but I'd hate to start over at post #1.
Post count will carry over
Good! I was unable to find that little piece of info when I Google searched for it in transitioning from one forum software to the other.
What a nightmare that would be if we were all set back to new member!
ROFLMAO The rest of the forum would look like a ghost town and the spamming for post count?!?!?!?! 
!
Ah, post counts should be abolished altogether (or hidden if membership ranking is important)
Post count isn't any kind of indication of character, intelligence, or standing, but a higher post count or longer membership length does signify that maybe the person who is giving you advice knows something about the subject being discussed, at least when the topic is ecig related. I know that when I was a newby I listened closer to people with more time and posts than those who joined last week with 25 post counts.
It's a valid and hopefully meaningful reference.

The information for each member as they post is going to change. A lot.
Here's what the new postbit will look like in the new forums:
To view the member's member card, click on their user name and you'll see the member card pop up:
Here's a better view of the member card itself:

oh no! a big 'supporting member' decal but avis are the same size?
i could do without that decal

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.

Imo, the current size of the supporting member decal is about right, in proportion to the avatar size.
Do without it? No. To me, it's like the post count. Those who care enough (and have the where-with-all) to support ECF are often those with more experience in vape-land, and are also more often those who are most willing to help out.

While there will be the inevitable hiccoughs in the transition, and the also inevitable curmudgeons, it's great to be making the move to improved software.
We'll be able to point folk here and/or try to explain
HEY - I resemble that remark . . .
The good thing is that this time - it has been really great to know what is happening prior to the change over to the "improved" software, especially since it will allow "Us" time to learn & adjust to what some of the changes will be . . . Just Sayin' . . .
YEP - Been posting links to both threads since the I found out from "My" Friend - "classwife"
I have a feeling that the changes will become second nature after a very short while.
SO looking forward to this, @retired1!
DITTO ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
I so hope so . . . For the past couple of years I have had to strickly use BBCodes to post "STUFF" . . .
Even wrote a "How To" use BBCodes to post Images "Blog" to help others . . .
The only thing I have to ask though - When using a tablet it is much harder, is therengoing to be any easier way to post multi-quotes and images/emoticons, especially since "You" normally are not able to use a "Mouse" ? ? ? ?
btw - please, don't lose any likes - i'm working on a milestone!
WOW ! ! ! "You" sure are . . .
(BTW: Right behind Ya' . . .
)What a nightmare that would be if we were all set back to new member!
Ya' Think . . .
Fully understand what "You're" saying here, however there are many of "Us" here that DO CARE ENOUGH and HELP OUT (and are even willing to continue to do so) who are not/no longer supporting members for personal reasons (including financil) . . . So being able to "purchase" a "Supporting Member Decal" doesn't necessarily say "You" actually care to participate Or help others on ECF . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Wouldn't join date and member title do the same thing (veteran, etc.)?
oh no!
I know it's not possible currently, but will the new software enable the ability to opt out of flying the supporting member flag if desired?
sure would be nice - i always thought the line 'supporting member' under my ecf forum name would suffice
having the option would be great - it would keep everybody happy
you're going about this wrong - worry about the little things; that way you won't have a chance to get shell-shocked by contemplating this daunting switch-over
no matter what - we'll be with you in spirit when the time comes
and if it works we'll adjust
