Sir Puntalot Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The upgrade to VB5 had to be done because of security exploits and to make the forum mobile, however, it's been nothing but problems unfortunately. We don't upgrade because it's fun to do so, it's always "needed". VBulletin 5 is slow and clunky. We've really tried to make it work, but enough is enough. PL will be moving to IPB forum software September 28th, all being well. However, there are ALWAYS issues after a big move like that, so bear with us afterwards and let's get the speed back up and forum functioning as it did before the move to VB5, hopefully even better. PM's will NOT be transferred, so make sure you have everything you need from there. Mindfulness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopdog Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Probably non PC to speak about other forums on here, but the GG forum was quite literally destroyed by changes and upgrades. People hated their new forum so much, they ended up killing it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 That won't be the case here. As I said, you have to upgrade versions or we and YOU for that matter are wide open to hacking/security exploits. The new software is good, VB5 just can't handle our size - poor show from VBulletin.

avongirl Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks like the move went ahead early and PMs are gone now? (I've been away since before your post.)Don't think I had anything important there but just wondering if there still a way into the old forum software to check? You've probably saved me a lot of time checking back anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
