Redesign overall this forum interface and "functionality"

I won't elaborate because I don't want to give more hints to spammers about the protections I use in this forum.

Well, I can still edit after your post. And the Delete button still shows too.

OK, I saw you may be Connected when I'm always Disconnected. I mean I post and I look at my message "being Disconnected".

I think the solution, to the problem of having an old and stale version of a forum, is to grab the bull by its horn and use one of two options:

1. try to migrate the old forum to a new one using a service like https://gconverters.com/forum-to-forum-migration/

2. make the current forum a legacy one and close it for further posting but open for searching and then start over with a new one.

2. make the current forum a legacy one and close it for further posting but open for searching and then start over with a new one.

There's a few problems with these: Do you have any idea what a conversion through gconverters will cost? Not changing costs nothing.
Keeping an old forum next to a new one is about the worst solution there is. Do you have any idea how large the knowledge base is in this forum? Do you always want to search through TWO forums?

IF and WHEN Emmanuel starts looking into new forum software he can contact me for conversion. It's my business and professional specialty. And free is a lot cheaper than gconverters.

I don't have any knowledge pricewise of what the company would charge for a migration, however, if you want to do it for free then I think Emmanuel should take your generous offer today ! (I certainly would)
