    Just to note that all that is availbale on the profile here, too.

    It is, and I would guess it’s a basic feature of most modern messageboards. But as Nick alludes to, the FSM board is from the stone age, so you could only view POSTS you’ve made, not threads you’ve started. Up until now. It MUST be a feature of the new board, I think.

    I’m hoping to pillage the 27 years worth of threads I’ve made over there, with an aim to republish some of them here. Providing this board survives with the 6-7 of us regulars posting (out of the 50 registered, real users).

    Of course, just an info in case no one had looked 😉

    Re-posting entired threads on the forum or making some proper post for the site? The latter would probably be a good idea.

    It’s sadly quite usual that only a minority is active everywhere. I am running a message group (a mix of mailinglist and forum) for illustrators and althoug there 160+ people on the same 12-20 are active.

    Oh yes, just the original FSM post, not the entire thread. I have plans on how to do it.

    Does anyone know what kind of password fsm is asking for on their site now?

    I don’t think it’s a log-in that is meant for us users. Certainly my password didn’t work (if I remembered it correctly, it’s been ages since I had to log in to FSM).

    Well, it’s up. It looks okay. They’ve kept the general idea of the original board, but updated everything. The lack of borders feels a bit odd. And it’s slow as molasses at the moment, but hopefully that will improve.

    Alas, there is no “threads you’ve created” option…. 🙁

    …and I don’t think it’s quite up and running yet, because I can’t seem to see any field in which to post replies??

    And you can’t post a new thread either.

    61000 posts by Thor. Impressive!

    I have 12000.

    It’s definitely not fully operational yet; the Beta version ran considerably smoother.

    Looks they launched a little too early as a lot of styling is not yet looking ready. But what a task they managed to apparently port all the old forum data!

    It looks and behaves like a mess at the moment. But let’s give it a week or so and see what happens.

    Yeah, with such a huge relaunch it is quite normal that not everything works 100% initially.

    But 1.8 MILLION posts…..that’s quite the haul to transfer.

    The usual suspects on JWfan are grumbling that the free website they sometimes use isn’t 100% overnight. I’ll be happy when FSM is up and running, as I plan on leaving the other site for good.

    Not that there aren’t usual suspects on FSM, but the conversation does at least seem to revolve around music there.

    I would love it, Thor, if you could bring some of your old thread starters here. I’m not very good at that sort of thing. I like these forums, even if the site does yell at me in Norwegian before I change it.

    Yeah, that’s quite a number… and lots of threads. I suppose that’s why they did not bother to implement 301 redirects for the forum. Pity, because that means the Google search won’t register the new threads… at least for a while. But perhaps the new board search will function much better.
