Hi All;

This is the first time I have been able to get to the discussion forum today.

This error thing is persistent for me.

Moving the site from the original servers to the new servers caused some issues.
Folks are working to sort out the issues with the forum, but there were some unexpected health issues with the previous owner and one of the new owners.
Having strokes makes all kinds of things very difficult to complete, since personal health care winds up being the top priority.
Plus - the vBulletin folks wanted to see an actual bill of sale or some such before a planned upgrade could occur,
when the site transfer had been basically a gentleman's agreement.

Yes, its a royal pain the way things have gone - but the folks involved are doing the best they can to preserve the site and not lose the valuable info contained within.
FWIW, I am not doing the upgrade or any of that, just a long term fan of both sites, sharing info as its been explained to me.

Hi Heather,

I understand that the best made plan can sometimes not turn out the way it was intended.

But to be clear the preserved content being of Don’s research and the history of JBL is un effected by the recent data base issue. Robert has declared he has the information saved on disk.

So to respond to saving valuable information that is not the consequence of the problem.

The issue of concern is that of the functionality the interactive forum where members exchange and share information.

It’s the forum members that are the ‘client’ who are being inconvenienced.

Very few threads with the exception of the reference threads you were involved with are sticky’s that remain visible. All the other threads are long beneath the current threads. Do new members go searching for those threads? Invariably no they don’t. They are the same questions over and over again.

I would suggest that members who have searched and found old threads interest have saved them. I know people who have contacted me have saved the threads l was involved with.

The information in the technical reference threads can easily be saved and most members have already done this. Don hasn’t appeared on the forum for years.

Looking at AK there has been significant efforts made to upgrade the interactive threads over the past few years. But efforts have been made to maintain the interactive forums on the LHS. It would therefore appear having analysed the above that the stakeholders narrative is at best confused. What’s the longer term future for LHS interactive forums? This us the question that needs a solid explanation.
