So, what do you need to do? In short not much. The look and feel for the new site will be the same, all posts will be preserved. When you find the site is not accessible, just wait a day or so and try again. If you have a club email address you will need to remap the POP account details, we will deal with this once the transfer is complete, drop an email to enquiries@g4ownersclub.com. Also after the transfer, some of your favourite saved addresses for the forum may not work, if the browser has saved it with an ip address. In this case, just retype the forum address on the browser address bar and once the forum has come up, save it again in your favourites.
Undoubtedly,with such a major IT change there is likely to be problems, hopefully these will be minor. Please be patient as we look into it and work to resolve these bugs. Make constructive comments where possible and avoid rants, which can be at times tiresome and off-putting. ;)
As you can imagine, this is time consuming and has to be fitted in beween our day jobs and family committments, this is a hobby after all but a great one. There are a number of members working hard to achieve this. The committee is very excited at moving the forum to its next level, since the forum's creation 2 years ago.
The G4OC forum is quite vocal and provides a central place for communication for members and non-members, which is great for the club. Our vision is to offer our members more features and interaction going forward. Once the forum has been successfully transferred, we will post the new features that we intend to offer, so I am looking forward to that very much. :) Regards,Emon
The new forum software is up and running with the basic design in place. This can be found at the address www.g4oc.co.uk. So when you click on the link it is taking you to the new ISP. But the content has not been transferred yet. In the future all our domains/addresses will point to the same location/site.
The target transfer of all the posts is now next week and also the main DNS transfer for the address that is www.g4ownersclub.com will now be next week.
Meanwhile carry on using the forum as normal.:) Thanks to Peter and Anthony for their time so far. Regards,Emon
One of the earliest actions we will undertake to improve the forum is address data quality and look at the profiles of all members/non-members. We will do some of this at the point of forum transfer, for example we have old email addresses in 'your profile' which need to be updated, so please check your details and amend accordingly. Many Thanks. Regards,Emon
During this time look on the main homepage for updates on the progress!
