IMPORTANT SITE NEWS!

Hi guys

We're ready to launch the new site. Finally! It's been a really long winded and difficult process for lots of reasons and I'd like to thank Charic for all his hard work on it for us.

Now - everything is ready but there's one thing we can't take with us due to the way the new software works. [b]Any pictures uploaded to the site will need to be re-posted/attached after we make the jump[/b]. I'm thinking particularly pictures in build threads and adverts are the most important to begin with. Porn threads etc we can start new ones and before long we'll be sorted. We'll try to email everyone here to alert them to save any pictures this week for re-posting but one if the problems with this site is that the mass email system is rubbish but we'll do our best. Failing that we'll message everyone from the new site.

So - [b]if you have an advert with us or pics you'd like to keep, please download them now. Maybe bookmark the page they're in to make it easy to out them back.[/b]

Please share this message with others and ask if you have any questions.

Pictures hosted externally will still work but show as a link (img tags don't work in the same way so they can be edited more easily) so we can get a bunch of volunteers to help with those after the jump.

[b]For the time being you could put a link to pictures in your adverts so it doesn't change when we move, then make them embedded afterwards.[/b]

Sorry we couldn't manage to do it - you wouldn't believe how complicated and difficult it's been to get the information from the old site synced over. Rest assured though that this move is essential in terms of making the site secure and future proof and we'll never have to do this again!

Thanks - we plan on making the jump as soon as possible so perhaps we'll give it a week to spread the word and let people prepare.

I'm pretty sure PMs will transfer no problem, but perhaps it's worth getting email addresses and phone numbers if you're in the middle of a deal just in case.

Cheers everyone

Are Avatars and Signature images OK?

Most avatars are coming across but it depends how they're hosted. I would suggest backing them up IF you can.

On the plus side, we've increased the storage allowance for members on the new site and everything displays much nicer!

Signatures I expect will be an issue as they're treated as normal attachments. BUT it will give you an opportunity to play with some of the new toys on the new site!
