Koby Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 After many hours (actually a whole day and then some), I finally got the conversion finished. I had to borrow a copy of vB3.8 to upgrade the forum to so that it'd be compatible with the Conversion software IPB has, then install IPB, convert the database, and finally edit all the settings of the forum (including setting up user groups, user permissions, and fine tuning things).I'm sure there is likely some thing I missed/forgot/overlooked, so if you notice anything strange, out of the ordinary, or broken let me know.Members may need to use the forgotten password feature, I'm not sure if passwords were converted over or not. You'll also likely need to check out your profile information and edit/add things back such as gender, age, etc.Also, chances are you're all still Crusader-0, as it didn't convert members into correct groups. If I have things setup correctly, you should be able to simply post once (if you're over 15 posts) and you'll be upgraded (and unlike before, it should be instant).For those who had registered, but not gotten their validation email, or got it but didn't validate from before the conversion.... you'll need to click the resend validation link as the old one will not work.Also most links to threads, etc.. probably don't work (Anime Index comes to mind), as the naming scheme of the software pages is different, and thus things like that will need to be altered.Any comments on the switch, problems you notice, etc.. please post here about it. Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dae314 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think I speak for many people here when I say F*** YES woo Koby *hi5*Thanks for getting the job done so fast . Now to complete the transformation we just need a new color scheme and maybe some new arts for the subforum icons . And of course more new banners ^-^.

Leviathan Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 WOW, this place went some major remake. It looks totally different. I am happy to see that the forum is back again. Some themes and banners should make the place awesome now. And I am surprised by the fact that we have status now. LOL.I can't find where to edit gender. I think I saw just about everything else though.Yeah, i am facing this problem too. How can i change my gender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Irish Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I just had to use the forgotten password.. meh at least the board is back up. (though it seems like i lost my Crusader+) Edited July 10, 2012 by Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corocoro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It's probably under "My Profile" -> "Edit My Profile" (upper right corner). I say probably because I lost access to editing my profile along with my whole account during the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
