UkVAC MIGRATION !!!

[Ravage]

I’m pleased to announce that the planned migration to a newer platform has been confirmed.

This current forum will be LOCKED FROM NEW POSTS on SUNDAY 12TH FEB ready for Migration commencement on the Monday.




Migration will take several days so expect to be down for at least 3 days, probably 5 to be sure we’ve completely checked everything.

If anyone wants to clear down PMs please do so as it’ll reduce the cost we have for the migration.

All users will keep their handles but a UNIQUE password will be used which we will require users to changeto first log back in.?

I will expound more during this week on what is being transferred?

Regards,

Rav and the Ukvac admin team?

A generic password?

 

[sferigan]

Generic as per unique per person or same initial p/w for everyone?

 

[TheDaddy]

I can log in as anyone ! super ! lol. I will clear my sent items when I get 5.

Is the password :- password ?

[Ravage]

Sorry - I meant to say a unique password but not given out - everyone will need to use the forgotten password? Option

 

[griffo83x]

[Devil_Mish]

Awesome news, best of luck with the migration!

Well that's boring, I was imagining the mad scramble of everyone hitting refresh to grab their username again before someone else nabbed it.

Amazing news! Well done to all involved.

Would the photos in file manager need deleting to help ?

 

[ChrisBEANS]

I’ve deleted all of my messages…

Anyone who sent nudes, feel free to send them again post migration (I’m looking at you, Dave)

 

[John Bennett]

Great news

Deleting text PMs saves money?

What about all the uploaded images in our profiles? That must be infinitely more MB of data?
The problem with deleting those is it wrecks old forum posts as many useful images vanish, replaced by red ‘X’s’

 

[Alpha1]

Yeah keep the images as that's in the main forum price.

There's additional costs for messaging.

Exciting times

I have a ton of messages but I'm hesitant to delete them as I occasionally search through them to find some info I've needed at a later date.

Seems a crazy way of charging extra for just a load of text messages, but I'm sure you know what you're doing. Good luck hope it all goes smoothly.

Surely you can copy and paste them into a word doc?

Great to hear this. Hopefully the new platform will be usable on mobile devices
