Can I switch content on my forum with another?
« on: November 07, 2007, 01:57:41 pm »
Forum Url: http://NintendoHardcore.smfforfree.com
I just noticed that there's an SMF for free 4 out now. Well, for starters, what's new? Second of all, If I wanted to make a new forum under the new system, is there any way I could transfer all the stuff from my "old" forum to a new one without having to re-do everything? Thanks for answering.

The link doesn't seem to work...the real link is http://nintendohardcore.smfforfree3.com/index.php

I found out about it right here. On the place where you put the link for your forum, it has SMF for free, and SMF for free 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Oh I see! I don't think there will be any difference. That just means he is probably adding another server.

NO SMF no longer does data transfers.  You would have to start a new forum and copy paste all your forum posts by hand.  It's a lot easier to stay where you are after all the work you put into starting your forum.

Most of the new stuff on Server 4 will eventually be transferred over to other servers or be offered a chance to upgrade to the new version.

SMF Server 4 is only up now for testing reasons and is a bit buggy. Bugs will have to be worked out and tested before it's released to the other servers.
You'll all get the new stuff...when it's ready.

It's mostly the same but some new systems.
