Copy of the information about the new forum sent by PM to all users registered in the forum.
Hi guys and gals, I've chosen to send this newsletter to all accounts registered in the forum regarding your settings of not to receive newsletters from us since this is a notification that we are closing down the old forum and moving over to the newly created phpBB3 forum at http://forum.joomprod.com. No user data has been moved over to the new one so you will have to register your accounts again to be able to post there. We have not moved or copied any topics over there yet either, but are working on getting the FAQ topic to cover most of the important questions asked, just hope that our users bothers to read the FAQ, the old one is not read very good by the new users coming to the forum and asking questions answered in 50 different topics earlier. And the search function is not the most used one either, hopes that those two things will be used more in the new one.
Important: The old forum will not be deleted or emptied, it will be kept for reference to old solutions and problems not covered in the new one. We are working on a way to import the users from the SMF forum to the new phpBB forum, but we are not quite there yet. So until then try to use your old forum username when registering so that you don't get double accounts.
If you have any topics or questions in the old forum that you want over to the new forum please repost it. ;)
We also needs some moderators that can help use move topics from unsolved to the solved board so that it's easier to separate the answers for new users or old users searching for answers. We have also added the Topic solved mod so that when you ask a question and get an answer that solves the issue you click the "Set as solution" link in the bottom right corner of the answer given to tag the topic as [Solved] or [Résolu] in the French board.. This way the links in the top of the page "Show solved topics" and "Show unsolved topics" can make it easier to find unsolved/solved topics as well.. :)
