Title: Exciting News! w/edit
Description: Board Upgrade/Conversion


TeachX3 - March 11, 2008 09:44 PM (GMT)

Soon, we shall have a new interface! I have submitted the request to convert our current InvisionFree board over to the new and MUCH improved ZetaBoards! Currently there is no time line available for when this will be completed.


What is ZetaBoards?

Like InvisionFree, ZetaBoards is a free message board host. We used our years of experience with InvisionFree to help build the ZetaBoards software from the ground up to address the needs of our users. In addition to an overall more intuitive feel, you’ll find tons of new features like blogs, shoutboxes, search, and custom profiles.
Since those are just some of the new features, you’re sure to find more as you use your board.

What if I already have an InvisionFree board?

Those of you with existing InvisionFree boards will be given the opportunity to convert your board to the new ZetaBoards software absolutely free. As you read this we’re working on the conversion process in order to ensure that your board makes a safe transition. During this process we’ll also be measuring server performance in order to set your board up in the best possible environment after the conversion. We expect to have more information on this process within the next month.

What is converted?

* Topics & Posts
* Forums & Categories
* Board Settings, Admin notepad, Board rules
* Member accounts and their settings
* Permission masks
* Groups
* PMs, PM tracking, contacts
* Polls
* Board Stats
* Moderator logs, warn logs, email logs, and admin logs
* Calendar events
* Badword lists
* Forum and topic tracking
* Moderators
* Validating members
* Emoticons (smilies)
* Titles & Ranks
* AutoTools (MultiMods)
* Attachments, pips, and uploaded files
* Ad removal

(Essentially this means that all data on your InvisionFree board is converted)


I look forward to this upgrade and know that this will help us here at Fit4LifeFriends be the best healthy community on the web! If at anytime you try to access us and find you cannot, please be sure to try, try again as we may be going through the conversion. When we switch over, we will have a new skin due to the fact that our current skin will not convert, but that is a small price to pay for the truckload of wonderful features that are headed our way!!

EDIT: I have reverted the board back to the default skin to make the transition easier.

:clap:

Not yet Shy :) The board just looks different because I reverted it back to it's default skin. That way when it does change over, it will not be such a shock to everyone! :spring:
