BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Hi folks emoticon

I have been thinking of transferring this board to a much better forum system.

I am currently testing the free forums powered by PHPBB.

The new forums if I decide to migrate will be located here:

http://shjihm.freeforums.org/

The forums will be free, but the hosting will not. It will cost 70 dollars a year. The upgrade to hosting is the only option to be able to migrate all the threads here to the new forums, and will allow for much better functionality.


So, what do you all think?

Re: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Michael, I believe so...Although I am not positive.

The forums allow for HTTP and CSS, so I would imagine so.

I'll certainly make sure.

Re: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Hmmm...so far it seems as though I will not have the same artistic freedom as I do here at runboard. I will only be able to install templates with the new forums which work like skins.

I do like the freedom to customize.

Tony,
There might be good technical reasons to migrate and I would not want to stand in the way of those. I am sure you can come up with an attractive look for the forum even with different software.

Re: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Tony, have you heard of Network54? I belong to a message board there and with the premier status board, the owner (you) can change backgrounds and colors, add pictures, etc. The board I belong to is a premier board and I think it is about the same cost, $35 every 6 months. Just something you may want to look into. The only thing is that I don't think you can categorize the posts the way you do here. Anyway, just an FYI in case you would want to look into it.

Re: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Well, I received word from the owners of the new forums and they assured me that I could do the same there as I have done here. So the question now becomes...

Do we move or stay here?

Tony:

As long as you still have editorial control and the site doesnt have to water-down its Catholic identity, I dont see why we cant switch.

Re: BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDNG SHJIHM FORUM


Just a practical point...When you switch how long will you be able to point to your new site from here? There may be other prodigal children who have wandered away that may come back.
