It's a good time to respond to threads & send PM's.

We're making the final backup of the board prior to reinstalling the server & having the last day for this web engine today.

Expect some days prior to things being reasonably usable again. Our new web engine is being developed "in vivo" (i.e. features are added in real time).

We return with three sites:

- BetWeb.cc - Personal spaces.
- BetSoftware.cc - Our software.
- BetSelection.cc - Forum reboot.

Save those direct links somewhere!

Okay so in layman terms please.

Do we still go to:  WWW.Betselection.CC for the forum as we do now??

Where will my Blog/Alrelx's space and Book Reviews be?  In the same set-up as now or elsewhere?

If we go tot he forum do we still see the 'rooms' with my space, Gizmo's and the other ones--as we do now, or each one will be contained under a special log in, as you said and as I understand, Alrelaxs.betweb.cc, etc.?

I answer Gizmo's response to my Expectations & Reality thread this morning, I will save the rest I had to post when you come back up. 

Let me know as I said in layman terms.  Thanks, glen.

Also, I sure hope you did not forget about the full editing and blocking features for the Blog/Mod end of it as we discussed.  Each board/blog mod should have the 24/7/365 ability to modify and remove anything and everything within his own Blog, they way it used to be, I understand on the main forums, but not the Blog end of it.  If the reader does not approve, like, enjoy the author he has no business going on his Blog in the first place anyways.  Please install those, thanks, Glen.

Correct.

Main forum stays @ BetSelection.cc

Where will my Blog/Alrelx's space and Book Reviews be?  In the same set-up as now or elsewhere?

Members get their personal web space in the format: user.betweb.cc

In your case, this is alrelax.betweb.cc

As the name implies, it's an entire website of your own(!) While we do share the same user-base among all sites, we won't mess with personal spaces for the most part.

Users are shared among all sites / personal webs, so it's the same login/password across all of our webs.

BetSelection.cc comes back without "rooms". We return as a very focused "gambling study" board. i.e. truly honoring our "bet selection" motto.

I answer Gizmo's response to my Expectations & Reality thread this morning, I will save the rest I had to post when you come back up.

As long as you see the site up, feel free to publish it. Every post gets included in the backup.

(Do write it in a word processor to have it off-forum. I know we do the move today, but the actual hour depends on how my day goes around here)

Are we still going to see the whole section as it is now?  Or will the person have to 'know' where to go, with the new board?

Just curious??

Each board/blog mod should have the 24/7/365 ability to modify and remove anything and everything within his own Blog, they way it used to be, I understand on the main forums, but not the Blog end of it.

That's the idea.

We get "thread versioning" on the new engine, which means edits are effectively unlimited again.

Also, I'm developing a "time machine" feature for threads to be seen as they were at a particular moment in time so people can't say "I never posted that" this solves the main concern for both the folks who want topics to be immutable to guarantee no comment is ever lost & those who want to make edits for any personal reason, be it today or 10 years from now.

If the reader does not approve, like, enjoy the author he has no business going on his Blog in the first place anyways.

Agreed.

We're splitting the board & giving every member a whole personal space to call their own to avoid personal conflicts. Users are certain to group according to their personalities & the sort of conversation they like.

Buddy & Ignore lists get to ensure disruptive members don't interrupt spaces where they aren't welcome.

They can post their views under their own space. Everybody gets their own BetWeb.cc space automatically on post (i.e. no need to request it).

This is an elegant solution versus trying to getting us all smiling with the same homogeneous ways

All active sections are indexed so visitors don't need to memorize much.

Any case, direct-access format is rather simple: user.betweb.cc
