Here are the keys: No broken links (redirects acceptable) iNo broken HTML (Rich Text Editor posts must be converted) I am fine with throwing out GC$ and the GC$ shop. Keep this mind if you're saving up for something, because it will all be gone in a month. Here's why we're making the move Spam problems, Rich Text Editor problems, Lack of an easy "Report this post" button, Feedback and questions go in this topic. I have finals in the next 2 weeks, so I won't have time until Dec. 12 to work on this. If you want to be in charge of the transition, PM me. We desperately need someone, but for now it looks like I'll be doing it myself. Elliot
Arrrrrrrghhhh No offence to anyone But this new vBulletin forum software IS and LOOKS like a total mess! I have used other vBulletin forums before that are OK but I can't even quote what Elliot said above here yet (I REALLY hope this improves! ) LOL!
