I am considering migrating from the current software, which is no longer supported by the developer, to a modern, fully supported, and wildly used forum system. It's no secret that this software has issues, the biggest one be photo posting problems. I have been researching options and there are not many that will import the current data into a new database system. One issue could also be the migration of member passwords. This means you would have to go through a process of resetting your password. I've done this before and some users had a problem getting set up again. As I said, this is a process I have been through before. It's very possible that the site could be down for up to a week (not likely, but possibly). It will take hours of work and the cost of the new software. We are starting to get busier around here and I want to make sure we are able to grow. If you have any comments or concerns please let me know. I don't have a time frame for the upgrade, but it's something I think needs to be done.
