Hero999 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Since the forum upgrade, all posts made since 24 February have vanished. What went wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Unfortunately, the forum conversion was not exact. Some posts, members and attachments where not converted properly and we couldn't do something to improve this. However, i can setup the old forum and you can copy some posts from there if you like. Just tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Can't you just go back to the old forum software? What was wrong with it? Edited July 19, 2015 by Hero999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 New forum software is way better and safer than the old one. It's an upgrade in my point of view. I will setup the old forum just for reference and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) The old forum can be located here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum_old/ . Please keep in mind that this is for reference only and will be deleted after some time. New registrations are disabled.

Hero999 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks. I suggest you wait and see how many people are using the new forum (so far it's just you and me!) before deleting the old one and switching to the new one.

Hero999 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 There have been no posts now for over a week, apart from this thread. The forum has died, since the upgrade. The new software may be more secure but it's no good if half of the old forum content is gone, along with the members. The new software, also seems to be less easy to use and lacks features or they're hidden. Where is the quote button? How about the smilies and fonts? What about the preview button to check ones reply, before submitting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 The forum was dead before the upgrade. I hope with the upgrade will motivate more users to participate. Only some posts are missed during the upgrade not half of the forum.The emotions and quote buttons are there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I hope more people will post. I can't see the quote button; where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I hope also more people to participate.You can see the quote button on attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 There is no quote button. Instead you must click on the word "quote".I saw that this site disappeared for most of yesterday then today it is completely new. I also noticed that 5 months of forums threads are gone.

admin Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 We are sorry we couldn't convert all the posts and topics. For that reason i have setup the old forum here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum_old/ so you can retrieve any posts you like from there.

Hero999 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Those buttons aren't visible from my account. You may be able to see them but I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I also can't find a way to post an attachment. Please go back to the old software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) "The forum was dead before the upgrade." It wasn't as dead as it is now. On average there was about 10 to 20 posts per week until you killed it. http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum_old/index.php?action=recent;start=0 "I hope with the upgrade will motivate more users to participate." So far that hasn't happened. Apart from this thread, only a few posts in another thread over the last two weeks. I suppose it's your site so you can do with it what you like and if you want it to die then so be it.

admin Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I also can't find a way to post an attachment.Please go back to the old software.Attachments are located as you can see on the image below. As for the quote button is strange. I will setup a test account and check for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sorry the problem with the quote button was at my end. I had scripts on electronics lab disabled. I've enabled scripts and can now see the quote button.Still no attachments and there's no preview button either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
