So we are kinda staying where we are then? :) One thing I think is a problem is that Google doesn't seem to be indexing us as well as it used to. Something about the way Google does its thing nowadays. It has a whinge about the page not being mobile friendly... https://search.google.com/search-conso...

Nah let's be rebellious

I'd be interested in a compilation

After reviewing the screen shots the new format does look like it may take some getting used to but there doesn't appear to be anything so alien that we all won't grasp the site pretty quickly. What might be helpful is if we can discuss the more interesting and exciting features that vanilla forums...

This is why I listen to good old fashioned records

My challenge is having enough time to do this. There are some template options and you can configure if you're into CSS. CSS makes my head hurt There are a bunch of add-ons that you can check out under the plugins at the vanilla forums site. If we're going to make the shift then I think we need to u...

Good lord he's lost the plot

I don't want to read this thread because I'm going to give it a go

It can be customised but that isn't likely to happen in the short term. There are a few themes that can be used so it might just be a case of picking one and living with it for a while

OK !!

Now with a bit of luck, the Vanilla Porter tool will be able to suck up the database and just work easy peasy lemon squeezy...of course that's not going to happen

I would have to use my super secret admin login for that...hope I have the login details around here somewhere

Ummm...I've been to Africa...you haven't been to New Zealand

Yeah that may be in the right direction. I am now reminded why I've dilly-dallied on this for a wee while. Currently using XAMPP, FTP'ing a copy of the KW code (with it's bazillion files) and using an old database backup that I made... Have discovered that phpmyadmin doesnt like databases that are a...

Badabging! Dare I go for four?

If you are not Sorus then DO NOT post next....strange crap will happen if you do

What he said

I think another problem might be the sub-forums as they impose a different data structure from the standard data model. Will have to work on that one.

I got 2 emails...maybe you guys used the wrong email thingy? There's two in the admin panel...and the one is limited I sent 2 emails. If you got them, then I used the right email thingy. :D --A I counter your point by stating factually that others didn't get the email so you therefore didn.t use th...

Get out of Africa man You're supposed to visit me at some stage boet
