    PLEASE BOOKMARK THE NEW BOARDS O' MAGICK URL: http://www.sorcerers.net/community/index.php

    LOGIN INFORMATION FOR THE NEW MESSAGE BOARDS - IMPORTANT!

    1. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER ANEW ON THE NEW BOARDS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING ACCOUNT FROM THE OLD BOARDS -- IT IS STILL ACTIVE!!!

    2. Your username and password on the old and the new boards are unchanged.

    ----------------------
    THUS FAR WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST 1 CONFIRMED CASE WHERE THE USER'S PASSWORD FROM THE OLD BOARDS HAS APPARENTLY NOT BEEN CARRIED OVER PROPERLY, AND THE USER COULD NOT LOG IN WITH HER PASSWORD ON THE NEW BOARDS. IN SUCH A CASE, USE THE "LOST PASSWORD" LINK ON THE NEW BOARDS AND ENTER THE SAME PROFILE E-MAIL THAT YOU HAD SET ON THE OLD BOARDS (YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RESET YOUR PASSWORD THIS WAY).

    IF YOUR MAIL FROM THE OLD BOARDS IS NO LONGER ACTIVE, PLEASE CONTACT TAL AND DESCRIBE YOUR PROBLEM AND WE'LL FIX IT.
    ----------------------

    IMPORT NOTES

    Please read all of this carefully; most of the questions that you probably have are answered here:

    1. There is always the chance that some threads/posts have not carried over to the new message boards during the import. If you spot a thread/post missing from the new boards that exists on the old boards, please send a PM to Taluntain on the new boards with the link to the thread/post and we'll arrange for a re-post, if warranted.

    2. !!! Certain members have had their avatars/portraits and/or titles messed up during the import. This will all be fixed as soon as possible. !!!

    3. The gem ranking system will be added back soon.

    4. The forum style (colour scheme, etc.) of the boards will be adjusted to match our old boards, more or less. What you are seeing now is just the default, TEMPORARY skin.

    5. Please keep in mind that this is currently a bare-bones, unmodified board. There will be MANY changes made to it in the following days and weeks, so please be patient while the settings and features from the old boards are being restored here.

    6. The Arcade data has not carried over. Eventually, a new arcade mod will be installed on XF and we will start again from scratch with new games.

    Other notes:

    - The MUG is currently inaccessible; this is just for so long that I can properly reapply permissions to users allowed to access it.
    - Various smilies will need to be reapplied.
    - Custom BB codes, including YouTube tags, will need to be fixed.

    If you have any questions or comments regarding the switch, please post them all here. If you spot anything broken or not working properly that isn't listed here, please let me know immediately.

    Finally, explore the new boards and features and have fun! It's been nearly 8 years since our last forum software switch, so here's hoping that XenForo will last us at least that long.

    Here's to the next generation of Boards o' Magick! ;)

    Congratulations for the successful move. So far I have had no problems although I will be much happier when the skin looks more like the old one. :)

    The default, temporary skin looks like a chlorine bleaching of the forum. ;)

    This is already quite a bit changed from the default, the original default was really unbearable to me.

    And yes, various broken tags are on the to-do to fix but they're a lower priority atm. There are literally hundreds of pages worth of settings and permissions that I still need to review in addition to fixing up the forum style and various other smaller issues. It'll take some time. ;)

    So the color is much easier on the eyes, but the contrast is pretty bad. It is hard to tell where forums have new postings.

    I take it that the albums did not import with the rest (or am I just so clueless as to not be able to find them . . . ?)

    Signed in a day or so ago and ran away blinded by the color and layout! This is much improved already and it shows a lot of work. Good job,

    Tried to post but it disappeared and a new window opened! Somehow I messed up again. The last time I signed in I could hardly make out the writing and took off. This shows a lot of work now and good job so far.

    @Old One -- when your post disappears, it publishes, just look up. ;)

    They did, but I need to still run the album counter rebuilds so that the numbers show up properly. The content should all be there -- let me know if anything is missing!

    The search should be fixed as well now. Getting everything back up & running sure is proving to be all the work that I expected it to be, and then some. Twice. :smash:
