That's going to be one insane import.

This should prove to be the mother of all cluster fucks.

Please give it a nice skin/theme/whatever. I kind of really like how these forums look. Especially in Steel Red.

I just hope that I still have my cow avatar after the migration, I don't want to end up with something like, god of the internet forbids, a snail.

Yup. Why the change? I love Fusetalk -- VB is so generic IMO.

This sucks - and I better get to keep my briefcase.

Fusetalk sucks. To many damn problems.

 

[lupi]

please, for the love of god do not add all types of bullshit insert text screen from image prompts all over the place. one of my other main forums did that it it's a royal pita to use anymore.

...because Fusecrap is like $5 grand to license and is still buggy as fuck( I mean come on the last patch they tried to use killed the forums for a few hours a few months ago...).vBulletin is like $500 max. permanently. and $60 for updates per year after the first year.

I rather have some generic board (that AT will be skinning out--they already said this in another Vb thread a while back--). On top of that VB makes it a lot easier for the mods when it comes to taking care of spammers, trolls , etc.

Overall, this will be better for AT... and I support it.

No. I updated my address from an old school one (still valid, just not checked often) to yahoo. No problems.

One of the reason these forums are so popular is because the members are generally intelligent and the forum has a nice, clean, professional look. I hate going other places and being barraged with flashing avatars, terrible color schemes, and fifty million forum plugins.

 

[dbk]

Speaking of avatars..I guess I'll be losing mine. I think I'm the only one with it. I felt so special

 

[Evadman]

everything will be fine.

Fusetalk has been a pain for AT since they moved to it, and the system seems to break every update. The moved to Fusetalk was to have more control over the large user base/thread (such as butter) by take advantage of the registration system & multi forums.

I hope that AT spend more time this round on research so that they don't repeat their past mistakes, by be a technology lemming that constantly strive to have new shining toy/beta testers.

I thought I heard somewhere that Anandtech actually gets Fusetalk for free. Or am I just making that up?
