This forum has been a tremendous resource for all of us -- Just want to confirm that we will be able to migrate this forum and all of the historical data to the new upgraded forum! Thanks, |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:02/07/2018 12:53:19Copy HTML I get the message every time I move to a new page. Rather annoying.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:02/07/2018 01:40:15Copy HTML YUP, I agree.
It is this sort of nonsense that makes me not want to sign up for forum migration, until other people have dealt with the bugs of the newer software. So my plan is to see how other forms work out, and maybe even start a new test forum to figure out the features and "skin" issues before asking to be transfered. |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:02/07/2018 03:52:29Copy HTML In the upper right hand corner there is a little red "X" & Close. Click on it and like magic; the message disappears and does not come back. Yay!! :-)

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:04/07/2018 02:20:41Copy HTML The notice goes away for while, then comes back.
One thing I'd like to see in ThongBoard II is an improved editor for posts. It always seem I have to press Enter an extra time to get paragraph breaks to look right. |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:30/07/2018 10:00:30Copy HTML I use Bing as my search engine, and this migrated thong board forum doesn't yet list there.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:21/08/2018 07:21:59Copy HTML I have not been on the forum for a while and much of the content is not visible and many links are not functioning. Is there a procedure I should take to update? Many thanks! |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:21/08/2018 10:37:41Copy HTML Both set of links to the thongboard now work. Links from other webistes and websearches should all be working. Good. MOVE - to move a reply to a more appropriate thread. MERGE - to merge to threads when someone starts a new one where there is already a thread on that subject. |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:21/08/2018 11:24:51Copy HTML I can't believe they "rewrote" the entire code and we still end up with a website that looks like a 3rd grade coding project. With all of the free forum software packages out there (many of which are absolutely stunning and have a huge array of features), they're still looking like this. Absolutely insane.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:22/08/2018 03:50:38Copy HTML That's what I said in a strongly worded message to them.
I asked why did they not just write a data translator to migrate to the stable and similar phpbb platform.
Bunch of nitwits.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:23/08/2018 02:38:51Copy HTML Thanks for the explaining. Aimoo has long been behind the tech curve, but the basic functions worked... Now it's an incomplete site in slow-motion. Taking a few steps back to move forward is one thing, but to go as they are now is a train-wreck. Patience is a virtue! |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:24/08/2018 04:03:37Copy HTML As some here wrote not all things are implemented. Yet I can post using my iPhone X but can’t with my MacBook. Tried the links given to new forum adding the forum1 link and name, email but errors with matching my name and email or wrong URLgiven persists. |

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:31/08/2018 01:27:34Copy HTML Somewhere during the migration I've lost access to my profile - mo_thong. Consequently, lost my messages, contacts, etc. How can I get that back?

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:10/01/2019 10:14:41Copy HTML First up I know very little about websites, computers etc. It's been a while now since the change/forum migration whatever it's called happened, to me it has been a huge failure. I can't even see my own photos in my profile let alone anyone else's. This has resulted in a dramatic drop in peoples participation from my observation.
Where does the site go now? because it will not last much longer like this.
Was the plan to run it into the ground?

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:10/01/2019 03:20:09Copy HTML The forum is still hosted by Aimoo.com - They have fixed some of the more glaring data problems after the migration. Still waiting for them to fix profile access issues, like photos.
We have considered migrating the forum to a different platform, i.e. different host, but this also means a rather large screen scrape and user migration problem, because we don't have raw access to the underlying data or user files. You are Aimoo.com users, and just board members.
This forum is always slower when the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter. Hopefully Aimoo will have fixed things by the time spring comes and people start thonging again.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:14/09/2019 09:46:14Copy HTML It's been a while now since I commented on not being able to see my photos, is there anything I can do to restore them? Also I can only see some of other peoples and in lots of cases only part of the photo.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:27/01/2020 06:10:34Copy HTML I haven't commented at all since the migration, I've just been relatively inactive until things settled a bit.
I just noticed that all my friends links all disappeared in the migration process.
Is the friends feature something that didn't get re-written?

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:27/01/2020 06:15:56Copy HTML Don't worry I found it, I only noticed because when viewing a profile there is no button to invite them as a friend.
This feature is now really difficult to use, to the point od being practically useless. Probably written by a 4 year old.

Re:FORUM MIGRATION Date Posted:01/06/2020 11:06:56Copy HTML I posted in January 2019 and again September 2019 in regard to my photos and the inability to see them and other peoples.
Has anyone worked out how to open the photos?
I would also like to get mine downloaded back to my computer.
Thanks.
