RENOVATE FORUM update info.

[ubeaut]

Hello Reno people
All things being equal reno forums will be on its' own new autonomous site within the next few days.


When it does happen the below will also happen.

• There will be no posting to any of the Reno forums during the period of migration from here to new site.
  
  
• Last time we migrated the forums it took around 30 hours so... Reno may be closed to posting for that time, or at least part of it. There will be notification of the temporary closure.
  
  
• We will have to migrate the entire Woodwork Forums site including all graphics/images.
  
  
• Once migration is done everything that isn't Reno will have to be deleted from the new site. This may slow the running of the new site whilst it happens.
  
  
• All the old photos that were lost when Renovate Forums was closed down by Oneflare will stay lost, as will all the posts that couldn't be rescued in that closure. However everything that's here now will stay and be the base for the new forums to be built on.
  
  
• The new Renovate Forum WILL NEVER BE CLOSED DOWN by me or anyone connected to me, it will continue on until the WWW is no longer, some idiot blows it up or something new comes along to replace it and I am no more.

The official site address will be: https://www.renovateforum.au not a live link.

However you will also be able to access the site with:
renovateforums.com - renovateforums.com.au - renovateforums.au

Cheers - Neil

hi Neil, is it renovateforum.com.au (singular) or renovateforums.com.au (plural)?

[ubeaut]

The main forum will be renovateforum.au

However... Covering all bases it will also be accessible via
renovateforums.com - renovateforums.com.au -renovateforums.au which will link directly to renovateforum.au

And now for another HOWEVER It isn't up online yet as I'm still waiting for Steven to be able to do it and still don't have a set date for it to be done as yet. There's also a shop load of backroom work to be done in the meantime and we're not sure if we can still set it up with the same format ie vBulletin v4+ which WWF and MWF run on. Have it all ready to to go on the old licence but...

Sorry I haven't been back on to keep you all updated with what's happening but been flat out and having internet problems of my own that were only resolved yesterday. 2 computers with Telstra at the factory that keep on dropping out and have been for over 2 years with no fix being offered other than a couple of replacement modems. Same thing started happening with the 2 at home with iinet about a month ago finally got that rectified yesterday after a number of hours on the phone. So far so good.

Anyway I'll jump on and let everyone know when and if the shift will be happening. as it will affect the whole WWF site. Sooner the better for me.

Cheers - Neil
