Transfering of Old Threads
Posted: Wed Nov 28, 2001 7:39 am
I do want to apologize for my inability to transfer existing threads. Part of what made UltraBoard such a resource hog was the crazy way it stored messages and built threads. The formats are so wildly different between the products that it is virtually impossible to transfer threads from one to another.
Ask Paolo - I was up literally all night last night re-coding this new software so it would use your existing username and password (it originally used a different encryption scheme for the password and only had a username instead of a username/nickname like UltraBoard).
I had to custom code conversion programs to bring over usernames, passwords, signatures, and private messages.
That being said, I will endevor when I get home from work to experiment some more with thread conversion.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the new software. It was expensive, but it has a lot of nifty features yet still has close to the look and feel of UltraBoard so (I am hoping) that not too many people get lost.
