The new avatar size constraints have allowed me to use an old one from way back :-)

Thanks to Wayne, Karlos and everyone else involved in making the transition so smooth. Amiga.org is better than ever now!

I didn't do anything major, really. And what I did do was only possible thanks to Wayne sending me the pm database structures for both systems and some sample data (my own messages, nobody panic) from each one. He didn't have to expend the effort to do that really, considering how much else there was to do.

Tried a vacuum pump? :p(

B*stard! That's my new LCD I've just sprayed tea all over :mad:

Besides which, do they even work? I always thought it was a marketing con to extract money from insecure men...

Do you think anyone is going to really answer that question? :D:D

I was hoping somebody might blunder into answering it, yes...

Oh well. The next gaffe trap will have to be a lot more subtle

LOL! It hasn't taken us long to make the place our own again, has it?

I'd just like to be the first person to say "Socks!"

I'm sure the raw data still exists. After all, some content hasn't been transferred over yet.

I fell lost with this new style..

It is a bit different, but I'm getting used to it.

I assume the old site has been archived and stored in its original form?

Not sure what you mean by "original form". I'm sure the database and uploaded image resources all still exist. After all, there are no "web pages", per se, just the code that generates and serves them.

Yeah, i mean the database and the original code... should anyone find an old PHP4 server in a basement, and fire it up... the old one would still run, and be frozen in time... :-)

Personally, I'm more for writing scripts to convert as much of the old content as humanly possible

MySQL6 and PHP6 are in the offing and v5 has been standard now for years. Unless you host it yourself, serving the old content just isn't going to be feasible.
