Hello Vintage Computer Forum members.
February has been a busy month! We are currently on our third (and final) host since the beginning of the month and with our new home comes some added flexibility.
One thing I have been meaning to do is to switch the Vintage Computer Forums on to a new, better software system. I have been playing with this for the last few days and think I have what I want.
Now it's time for you to take a look and tell me if I'm right or if I'm crazy. . . (or both!)
I have set up the new board as a copy of this one and have made it available for everyone to play with for a few days. Please go wild and test whatever you want.
All posts, users, forums and the like were copied over.
The copy is a few days old so don't be surprised if something is missing.
If you have a bit of spare time or if you'd like to see the shape of things to come, please head on over to www.vintage-computer.com/vcforumvb and tell me what you think.
Your login will be the same, but feel free to create a new one for testing. It will be lost when we go live.
Be sure to check out "User CP" to configure your options.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a test! I will be wiping the new boards clean and re-copying the old ones sometime in the next few days, depending on how things go. Anything you post over there WILL BE WIPED.
Please use THIS board for our VC related discussions until the transition. I can't copy stuff back from the new boards to here before cutting over.
For reference, the reasons I like the new software:
- More flexibility
- Better interface
- Ability to upload/attach files to messages
- More robust security
- Better support
- Easier plug-in system
Please let me know what you think!
Erik
