All;

I have Clint looking into this as we speak - he's a programmer that's been working with Bob on many of the changes to the website/forum, improving security, installing patches, testing testing and retesting, etc. I asked him to look into this and he will most likely respond tonight.

Agreed, there are posts in the archives that could find a more suitable home in the new topics on the forum. Eric cites bad experiences in the past where migrating threads ended up losing everything.

With that in mind, I've asked Clint to backup the forum in it's current condition to an external hard drive so - in the event we migrate threads and lose them, we have a copy. These threads are invaluable and we needed a failsafe, so I'm adding one tonight.

I'm hopeful we should be able to confidently being migrating some threads. If we lose them, we can fetch them from the backup copy of the forum.

Clint, please address Eric's query specifically regarding: "Another question I have is if I move a thread does it change the link address. If so it will break the links on the other posts and threads that reference it."

Thanks

TJ
