Re: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs!
91 in, 6 out... phew, just made it! 
Though I suppose I should start deleting some in case someone decides to send me four more! Some of my PM's date back to 2003 
Out of curiousity, what forum software are you upgrading to? A new version of UBB, or Something Completely Different? And what's happening to the rest of the site?
edit: P.S. in the new site, are the Shrapnel logos on the page header going to be links back to the main site? That would be handy...

Re: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs!
Going to something completely different. UBB has been going downhill for years now and parts of our version are just plain broken and it's not even worth upgrading to stay on software that is behind the times. We're moving to what is basically the standard among forum software right now which is vbulletin. I know I will hear some ahem complaining (to put it nicely) about the change in software as I know there are some who love phpbb since it's a free product and feel we should move to that, but we went with what we felt will offer us the most as far as flexibility, support and active modding community.
This should bring a lot of cool changes for the users and for the company. The whole site is getting a redesign as well courtesy of Tim. In addition, press releases are being 'automated' to a certain extent so that the news page is not being manually updated (you may have already noticed the new press release forums I have been putting up recently).
The only thing staying the same is the store.

So long as it isn't UBB, we are happy. |

Re: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs!
We haven't seen any issues with post counts during the import.

Re: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PMs!
