• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

FYI The Forum's future

Thanks for the information. :)

Will a mass email go out at the time of the Big Move to let both active and inactive members know that there's a new forum?
 
Great news! My thanks go out to all involved in saving our fair city forum from oblivion.


Given the recent developments in the mess that the JREF appears to be (and though I'm still rooting for them), I'm now kind of glad we're sailing off on our own. :)
 
<snip>and will be given the option to transfer their existing email address, name <snip>


This might be a silly question but I can't for the life of me seem to find in the control panel anywhere what all personal information I gave. Am I not finding a page or something?

On the top of this page, click "Use CP", "Edit Your Details", "Edit Email ...", you should see your e-mail address (you may, however, need to answer the "verification question" before clicking on "Edit Email ...")

I saw that. And I now see that the DOB is part of the border/heading, I kept skimming past that and not registering it. And I'm assuming name must not be visible to the end user?

Yes. Although I don't think it will be needed as I expect the changes will make the leading story on all reputable news media.
 
Look under usercp>your profile and the second tab?

I think she's asking for the personal information supplied as part of membership approval. It's not visible to users, only to Admins. (I don't even know where it is held.)
 
I thought it was as read only? Try going to your profile and looking... Mind you I do wonder how someone may have forgotten their own name..... ;)
 
Just tried with Testbot and you can't see even your own required info. Sorry for the confusion.
 
Stage 1

The (current) JREF Forum will be transferred to new hardware. This will require downtime expected to be 3 to 6 hours but may be longer. It’s hoped that this stage will occur before Sept 9, 2014. The site will remain under the ownership of the JREF and day to day control will remain with the current moderation team. There are likely to be a couple of additional "technical admins" created to help ensure everything goes as planned. Any new technical admins will be announced as per usual and their roles will be limited to technical matters rather than moderation.


One down....
