    Hey guyz. Hope you all are enjoying the new Phlatforum! We know, it's not perfect and there's lots of work to be done but we think it's a major improvement and are really happy with it ourselves.

    As you know, we hired a company to help migrate all of the data. They provided a pass code reset tool. All 14,000 + emails have now been sent. Our hosting company limited the amount of emails we could send so we had to continuously "push the button" every hour or so to get them out. We felt like Lock from Lost :)

    Initially, the links were broken but they have since been fixed. Are there any bugs/problems that you have noticed that we should address with the migration company before we let them off the hook? We're going to give this thread the weekend and then contact them Monday morning if all is good.

    Please let us hear from you.

    Thank you,
    Mark and Trish

    Well we still have some problems . None of the old pictures i uploaded work anymore .
    Not sure why but it looks like the links are pointing to this new forum .The pictures never got migrated.

    also it looks like all the plans i posted in the vip section are gone as there is no longer any such place ?? :oldman:

    We need more examples to send off so if you have some links that I can share with them they can tell me if it can be done or not. That would be a big help for us Bruce.

    Mark, I noticed the search is "weird" I was searching for "FPV" and it tells me that is either a to common tern or is to short to search. Along with the VIP section missing as was already mentioned.

    Other than that, I like the layout.

    The reason for that search is it has a 3 character limit ( I can change that to 2) for a search.
    As for the VIP stuff, its still there I am jut figuring out the permission settings for everyone before putting it out there. I hope to have it done soon.
    Thanks Tim its been added to the list

    Thanks, Mark...I know the standard limit is 4 characters minimum for a search for most forums, but I remember the old interface allowed 3. I appreciate you fixing it! With all the acronyms we have in RC, its hard to balance making searches meaningful vs. to much content returned.

    So true, your welcome Tim. I think it will be a lot of little tweaks like this that will help to make this place feel like home again :)
