Question

What About Moderators in the New Forum?

Read the spam thread for awhile and you will see that moderation works well in these webx forums

You will also see messages concerning the LACK of moderation over in the cfusion side of things

Will the new forum software/structure allow for "this" moderation to continue, or will it fall away to "that" style of non-moderation?

    In imported posts, would it be (a) possible and (b) desirable to have in the text of the post the name of the original person posting, even if the new system displayed that "guest" name in the member name part? So it wouldn't know who Cindy was but it would simply pick up the info from the current system as a bit of text, put quotes either side of the name, and add the word "wrote " -

    Eg (very crude mockup)

    All of your old messages pulled in from this system will say "Guest" next to them instead of showing your name.

    You are supposed to be using your Forums login here. Linking the accounts has no visible effect on these forums. Continue to use them as usual.

    All the linking does is tell the two forum systems that you are the same person when it combines the content of the two existing forums in April. Until that point, everything remains as it was.
