THANK YOU, Dunda!!!!! I just went out and bought an external drive and planned to spend the day copying stuff as fast as I can... I'll only copy and many images as I can, but it sure would be nice to have members' posts transfer to the new host. YOU ARE TRULY AN ANGEL!!!
sf, as i understand it, nothing will be lost and the images will be there.
Must say, I have always saved right away, what i wanted and have tem on a hd. 36 folders, all full with I don't know how many piucs and vids and whatnot.
CRAZY
The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..
I was able to save the contents of the forum and I was able to upload it to a virtual server on my computer.
( to hubby who helped A LOT!!
Next week I will transfer the domain to the new hoster.
I will use the opportunity to migrate the forum to a newer software called phpbb3, which will most likely look very familiar. I have to figure that out and when it's done I will movie the contents to the new hoster too.
It can be that all users need to enter the first time with a standard password and have to change the password afterwards.
But I'm not sure how this will work exactly, so stay tuned on the Back Up board. I will post there when it's done.
At the moment it doesn't look too bad and maybe I can finish within a fortnight!
No kidding! I have been saving and saving though. Lots of missing images - the biggest losses are from trueblue. But we have to be thankful for what we have and that's plenty!!
So will the new forum work just like this one? I hope???
