All good questions -- I don't have answers for them at this time. But, I can tell you this.<br><br>* If we can save the posts, we will -- that would be my desire<br>* Same goes for user information, if possible.<br>* When we do switch, there will be some warning<br><br>I hear a lot about how the switch to Macworld (the MacCentral forums) was a "disaster", etc... I would like to avoid this ... can you guys give me concrete examples of problems?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Neil<br><br><br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by neilticktin on 07/07/08 08:12 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

There were software configuration issues, that is to be expected and really wasn't the issue IMO. The biggest problem was their censoring. They gave us our own forum, but if a post even hinted at anything political or religious or controversial the thread was deleted. We were under the understanding that we would have the same freedoms as here, or at the old MacCentral, but it turned out not to be.<br><br>Things seem to be operating great here now BTW. Seems the tweaks have helped tremendously.<br><br>------>#1 - JD's Trivia game<br><br>------>#2 - MM-MCF Trivia game

You got that right! Seems the only allowable posts were either computer related or puppy pictures, plus the boards were way too corporate gray both in appearance and "feel."<br><br>

First off, many thanks for the obvious attention you're paying to the plight of we, the MacMinute Reader Café contingent. Performance is clearly improving over the past few days!<br><br>In addition to Reboot's comments, I offer the following. In my humble opinion, everything outside the light coloured area is a waste of space and an eyesore. Of course, a certain amount of ad space will be required, but the "junk" all over the place on those forums is as annoying as it gets!<br><br><br><br><br>- a.k.a. Mississauga -

Avatars are fine within the thread, but do we need them plastered all over an index page?<br><br>- a.k.a. Mississauga -

You're right. Didn't realize what I was looking at. Another brain fart.
