FYI, Copying from the old Database

FYI, I am copying some of the old threads from the old database. I have reported them to Ray so he will be moving them from the living room to the database.

 

After copying some of the posts in the old database I noticed that I did not credit the original poster. I will try to get that done before Ray moves them to the database.

 

Donamo,

I'm not sure if your question was for me or Ray (Solari). Last night I decided to copy some of the original posts from the old database and post them to the new forum so Ray could move them to the new database. I just wanted to let people who were on the forum last night know why I was creating so many post last night.

If you would like to see one of the posts from the old database moved to the new forums database, Ray had left a message on how to proceed. http://menieres.org/talk/index.php?topic=8.0. Here's how I moved them.

1) You would need to find a post you would like to move and copy the text of the original (first) post and then in the new forums living room create a new topic and paste the text of the original in the new topic.

2) Then copy the header of the old post and paste it to the header of the new post. Before you hit the "post" button make sure you edit any of the html tools such as bold, hyperlink, etc, they do not copy from the old post. Also make sure you note who the original post was from to give credit to that poster.

3) When you are done hit the post button.

4) Then go back into the post and scroll down to the bottom of the post and you will see a "Report to moderator" link, hit that link and just let Ray know you want this post moved to the database.

Hopefully this helps. Also if anybody wants a topic moved from the old database and is not able to move it themselves, let me know and I will do it for you.
