So that forum members will be aware of the expected sequence of events this evening:
Shortly before the process of creating members' usernames in the new forum begins, we will be blocking fms from starting new threads in the current forum. Members are advised to wait until their registration details are received by email, and then start the thread in the new forum.
The new AshFans section will go live at around the same time.
Members will have to wait for the receipt of the email containing their personal registration information before being able to access the new Forum or the new AshFans section. All emails should have been dispatched by the early hours of tomorrow (Thursday).
The new forum has identical boards to this one.
All current threads will stay in this forum. There will be direct links between the identical sections in both forums.
Members will still be able to reply as normal to any existing threads in this forum, but new threads will only be permitted in the new forum.
Post counts will be carried forward, but may not appear for 24-48 hours after switchover. However, after that, any replies to threads within the current board will not be reflected in post-counts in the new forum.
Members will have to re-establish any avatars and signatures in the new forum, together with their passwords and personal profile details. In the new board this is all done within an enlarged section, called the 'Control Panel'.
There is an FAQ thread in the Announcement Section of the new board, detailing how to set up your avatar, signature, link to an image, etc.
Staff will respond and post answers to any additional questions raised.
