Re: OT: Logging-In Issues at Altec User Board
I have no problem pitching in some funds if this site gets moved elsewhere--the assistance I've gotten here from some really great folks is priceless--we really are fortunate to have a great group of people here. I do have a question regarding starting a new website. This forum is not only a great place to ask and answer questions/exchange information, but it's also become a veritable encyclopedic resource via the search feature. So many great threads/people/ideas have passed through this forum since I joined over two years ago (and tons before I joined) that this forum is now a vast repository of knowledge. All you have to do is type something like "duplex" or "Valencia" (for example) into the search feature and you have more information at your fingertips than you could ever imagine. If we move to another website is there a way to transfer the accumulated knowledge/threads from this site to the new one? I hope so because I for one would hate to see us move to a new website and have this one fold and have all those amazing threads/information/collaborations lost forever. Just a thought. For what it's worth, all the screens on this site do seem to load a lot faster than they ever have since they added the additional server (although the upgrade process was undeniably a mess and I'm still not positive they have everything up and running properly yet)--should we sit tight for a few days and see if all the bugs are out before we pack up and leave? Lastly, there are quite a few people "missing" the last few days--I wonder how many people are going to their bookmarks menu (their "old" bookmark) and still think the site is down. Is it worthwhile to put together a list of people who are missing and send them PM's alerting them to the new URL? Or should we sit tight and give them a chance to find it on their own? I think this thread has taken an important turn (via Altec Best's and Pano's contributions in particular--I think they're raising some valid concerns/alternatives)--something we need to consider--just thought I'd contribute my two cents.....
