Actually this transition has been remarkably smooth, thanks to Klaus.

[Mik]

Yeah, whatever.

Edit: I was taking about calling it Zetaboards, not the wonderful transition Klaus has managed.

@89th , @jon-nyc , you guys have "admin" and "mod" superpowers at the old Tapatalk TNCR. Can you please:

• Pin a thread to the top clearly telling every one we have moved here
• Make the old Tapatalk TNCR "read only" (if possible, may be "lock" the forum?)

In my little corner, I have changed the redirection settings for coffee-room.com to point here.

[jon-nyc]

Done. I don’t think I can make the whole forum read only, but I was able to lock all the topics

[jon-nyc]

Klaus might be able to make the whole thing read only

Yeah, probably.

Just for shits and giggles, I wonder how much hassle it would be and how long it would take to migrate all the threads.

Even if it could be done.

[jon-nyc]

What would be the point? We can always read them there and don’t need to kill the disk space here.

True.

The only reason would be the sake of convenience in putting them in the search function. I believe Klaus has said that that number of messages, being all text, would take up an almost trivial amount of disk space.

I’m surprised no one is upset about losing their post counts of 100,000+!

I could not care less about my post count.

Could somebody who is not a moderator try whether the forum is now read-only? I changed something but I'm not sure it works. I can't test it with my own account.

[Mik]

I'm logged in. Can't post or add a topic.

[Mik]

Can't edit either.

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm deeply embarrassed about my post count, or at least that other bloke's.

[Mik]

Man, 16 years. Plus my posts tend to be relatively short.

If you go back to TOCR, over 20 years...

[Klaus]

Maybe it's not a good idea to change it to read-only.

Right now the fold forum is still a fallback if this thing explodes.

[George K]

You can like or dislike posts - not quote, post or start new topics.
