Title: UltraBoard moved and available for reading
Post by: kim on 2007.05.14, 10:21:31
Well, since a few of us needs the old forum to make ref points from the new forum; I've moved UltraBoard and it can be found here:

http://www.os2world.com/cgi-bin/ultraboard/UltraBoard.cgi

The forum should be locked up so only staff can post new post, but only to point over to new threads in the forum. So if you either are really active in the forum or just wants to help out to build up the new system with ref points, let us know and you'll get the proper access.

Among other all the leading bounty threads will be build up in the new forum and ref points to the old will be made.

Also I really would like input about 1) should we try to migrate all the old posts and 2) how do we avoid migrating old dead user accounts to the new system - suggestion has been made that we migrate all Ultraboard posts to one new user in the new forum (for example ub2usr) - but that would make the threads kind of hard to follow.

Or is the current way an acceptable work around?

Ultraboard had quite a few image links that was broken after the move to the new site. Reason for this was due to that the links to the images was hard coded into the postings - but this should have been fixed now.

Way to go KIM! can live without the images as this forum was way before my time...here at least, many KUDOS and thank you!
