If we switch over to CreateAForum.com do the things on here like the codes still work? Are we eligible to get the 100k posts thing still?
The most codes that work here will not work on the new version of smf.

Actually, many of the codes DO work. Like the swap images code used for your own rank images. And many others.
CSS does not though. So styles found on this support forum cannot be used for CAF forums.
I imagine that SMF would still give the 100k Posts prize thingy-mo-jig. (I can make up words like that) ;)

As the file structure, templates, css, etc has changed immensely with 2.0 there will be many of the codes posted here that will not work with the 2.0 software. It'll be hit and miss and testing to know which ones will and won't.

True but some of them actually do. And others can be restructured to work with the new software. Right?

Yep - those that do not would need to be reworked.

Will add to this - I have NO plans to update all of the stylesheets I have created. I do not have the time to do so. I "might" on a case by case basis as I have the time but given Ive been using 2.0 myself for over a year now and knowing all the work involved - its not something I can devote all of my time to right now.

Lol, yeah... It's supposed to be much harder making them on there than on here because CAF doesn't have some of the features the SMF has..
The only issue(s) I can really see with updating the stylesheets to work with 2.0 are learning 2.0's css, learning how the images are set up, what area's they effect. It will be easier with the styles posted here that do not require header or footer codes for them to work. Those that do require those codes will require more work and figuring out as the templates are different. I plan to fool with a couple of mine this week (if I can find the free time) and see how that goes. Once those that do them figure it all out I'm sure you'll see more posted there. I could easily do several color changes, thats the easy part. Re-arranging things, using headers/footers, is the difficult part to relearn but knowing the few style designers we have here they'll figure it out . It's just gonna be a learning curve.

Yeah... A bit too much for me to read, lol... I can understand that you dislike the CSS as much as I do so great... Lol..
Naw, you misunderstood ;) I don't dislike it at all. In fact I think its done in a much better way and leads to more flexibility. It just took a lot of digging thru and re-learning is all.

I like the SMF version more because I feel it's much easier to edit things on here...
Totally agree...
I guess we have no choice when creating a new forum as to if we are SMF for Free or CreateAForum.
Just way to confusing...
Glad my two forums are both SMF for Free!

will www.rvsclan.smfforfree.com go down?
No it won't. SMF for Free and CreateaForum are two separate forum hosting services; both owned by the same person. They both use simplemachines SMF software. SMF for Free uses the 1.* version of the software. CreateaForum uses the newest version of the software - 2.0 New forum signups are created on Createaforum for now to lighten the load on the SMF for Free servers. That's all that's happening ;)

As far as the 2nd question, SMF will need to answer that one for you.
