Peter,
I don't know what facilities we'll have exactly in the new system. I don't think the features for archiving have actually been implemented yet. So at the moment, it's a bit of an unknown. All I do know is that there is a limit on the total posts we can have in the entire messageboard.
As I said in the other thread, Xara X posts won't be got rid of - they are a vital asset. If anything went, it'd be old off-topic posts. Emphasis on if.
Everyone will be informed before the changeover is made, and before anything such as archiving or deleting went on. I just had to explain some stuff in that other thread as it was relevant to that topic. Don't worry about the rug suddenly being pulled from under you. I'm sorry I can't be a little more speific on this now, but I just need to find out myself for sure about all the nuances of the new system. I'm still talking with Infopop about the move.
The move would have originally meant all attachments were lost. Yep. But of course that's totally unaccetable, so we're paying them to do some custom work to make sure all the attachments go over safely. It's issues like this that occur, but need to be planned and discussed and implemented.
In terms of searching, who doesn't use it? But I get quite frustrated sometimes by the results (or lack of them, or the board saying there's too many results). The new system should have far superior search capabilities, one of the users of the sysem saying it was nearly "perfect".
