DaveLegg Developer Posted January 9, 2010 Developer Share Posted January 9, 2010 As you all know, we're planning to upgrade the forums to Invision Power Board 3 shortly (as part of an upgrade that brings a completely re-written front page, but more on that elsewhere). One of the features that IPB3 brings is Threaded PM's, allowing you to see a conversation laid out more like a topic view. Obviously this is somewhat different to the current system, and as part of the upgrade script, the existing messages have to be converted. I'm currently running the upgrade script on a copy of the database, to ensure we don't run into any issues when we upgrade for real. The script has been updating PMs to conversations for the past 2/3 hours, and isn't quite halfway through. It would be a great help in speeding up the upgrade process if you could look through your inbox and sent messages, and delete any that you do not need to keep over the next couple of days, as there is little point wasting time upgrading unneeded messages. Thanks all, More on the upgrade coming soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeston Veteran Posted January 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't think I have anything worth saving, so will probably delete them all. Well, there is one I might need to keep until the upgrade is released ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
