How's it coming?

Just thought I'd ask... I'm a little anxious to start getting real emails again to things I've subscribed to...

The new forum? Its almost ready for testing I think. Liam is working on building the functionality we need for the member groups (prevents posting in certain areas without the right post count - spam control).

We're not going to have email subscriptions on the new forums but there will be RSS for every thread.

Nice, that's what JeevesBond had said... RSS feeds will be way better.

Looking forward to it!

I believe Liam said there was a vBulletin -> phpBB conversion and a phpBB -> Drupal conversion, the two of which together allowing the complete conversion. Wink

He actually wrote a vB-drupal converter himself.
