Ian Wong Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi all, We've successfully migrated off of the old vBulletin software, and onto Invision Power Board. Hopefully, all the user accounts have successfully been transferred over. This software is much more modern, and has better capabilities to deal with spam. It should also have dealt with the user registration problem. There are some new features here, including the ability to set up a blog, and a more robust chat room. If you have any comments or notice any glitches, please post them here in this thread, and we'll see what can be done to address them. Thanks!

For example I had 2 PMs before the update which I wasn't able to check and now I can't even access them. Also it seams a lot of posts and threads in the last 2 days didn't transfer over. And does this mean the old furoms are permanently gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_14 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I also noticed some posts from recently haven't been transferred over. Particularly the "Movies about Medicine" thread in the off-topic forum. If this could be fixed, it would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arztin Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah I noted that not all PMs and posts were transferred. Well, at least, it's a quiet period, so no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiiiluther Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah it definitely appears that nothing after August 5 really made the transfer. Definitely an upgrade nonetheless haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 A few missing threads aside, the new site looks great! Thanks for making the effort to continue to improve the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Wong Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi there, Yes, nothing from Aug 6-7 made it over, including threads and PM's. Unfortunately, we aren't going to be able to transfer those items over, but everything else should have made it. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I love it! But yeah a few things are missing. Particularly the entertaining/heated debate with uwopremed about ECs.

ploughboy Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for continuing to put time and effort into this. It has to be almost 15 years by now, eh? One small thing: I had 50+ names on my "ignore list" on the previous software. It looks like that list didn't survive the migration. Not a big deal, I'll just plonk them again.

tooty Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) 1. In testing out the new user registration, I don't believe the forum is successfully sending out vadliation emails. 2. The limit to 'liking' posts is currently 0 I think. Edited August 8, 2014 by tooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Also for some reason I can't visit the Med Student subforum because the webfilter at the hostel I'm currently staying at is saying it's inappropriate. What have you guys been getting up to in there... Birdy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetherus Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I love it! But yeah a few things are missing. Particularly the entertaining/heated debate with uwopremed about ECs.

uwodesperate Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi Ian, Just a quick question... I had urls of some posts that I found to be very informative saved in a word file (http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58328 something like this) and I am wondering if there is any way I can locate these on the upgraded forum?

NeuroPreMed Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 New chat needed... I like the old chat way better than this one! The ding doesn't work to notify you with comments and doesn't contain font color changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
