InvisionFree boards may now opt into the conversion from their Admin CP (click on the "Convert to ZetaBoards" menu option). We will ramp up the pace of conversions of boards over the next few days. As soon as we have a good feel for how many boards are opting into the conversion and how long the converter will take for them, we will post a timeline for how long a conversion will take from the time you opt-in. You do not need to opt into the conversion right now, you can make the decision at any time. What is converted? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics & Posts Forums & Categories Board Settings, Admin notepad, Board rules Member accounts and their settings Permission masks Groups PMs, PM tracking, contacts Polls Board Stats Moderator logs, warn logs, email logs, and admin logs Calendar events Badword lists Forum and topic tracking Moderators Validating members Emoticons (smilies) Titles & Ranks AutoTools (MultiMods) Attachments, pips, and uploaded files Ad removal (Essentially this means that all data on your InvisionFree board is converted) Conversion Facts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The conversion is completely free. You do not need to turn your board offline, but during the opt-in process you can select to have your newly converted board turned offline so you can make any changes before members start using it. You do not have to do anything in preparation for the conversion. The doHTML tag will work in converted posts, but will not be available at this time for use in new posts. ZetaBoards offers a wider selection of BBCode that will let you do things such as create tables and embed YouTube videos without the doHTML tag. Your InvisionFree board, topic, and forum URLs will redirect to the new board. These redirects will continue indefinitely so that no one has trouble reaching your board. If you have a custom domain, it will redirect to the new ZetaBoards URL for your board. You will need to point the custom domain at the new ZetaBoards server to fully use the domain on your new board. If you have a custom domain, the instructions for re-pointing it will be listed in your new Admin CP. If the converter encounters broken data on your InvisionFree board (caused by a past bug or any other reason) it will either correct the problem or alert you of the problem and how to solve it via an Admin CP message on your new board. In no case will the converter be unable to convert your board. There is no conversion back to InvisionFree at this time. The ZetaBoards software offers an improved forum experience. If you have any concerns that ZetaBoards might not be for you, feel free to start a test ZetaBoards forum or open a support ticket with any questions. A skin converter will be available at a later date. We will store all your skin's data and make it available to convert. Only the board owner can opt-in at this time. However, once opt-outs start to trail off, we will allow an opt-in by any admin on boards that have yet to opt-out. |

| I didn't read all that so it's probably my fault for not noticing, but... Will updating the site reset the members, or will we still be here? |

| This looks cool, upgrading is always nice, especially if this means less bot topics. |
