I can't search, since it's down, but I'm thinking of converting my Invision to Zeta, since it has the option to, but... as the forum Admin, I need to know a few things. Will I have a new forum link? IE will my members have to bookmark a new page? Will my members have to re-register? How long does it take to convert? Will all of the sections/posts be retained? My board is here: http://z4.invisionfree.com/The_RPG_Spot/index.php?act=idx |

1. Your old URL will permanently (forever and ever) redirect to your new Zetaboards URL. 2. Nope, all accounts are converted. 3. It depends on the size of your board. Most small to medium-sized boards take only a few minutes. 4. All of your post, sections, threads, etc. will be retained, as will PMs, groups, permission masks, and a few other things. However, I suggest you look up a new theme or two and possibly find some codes to use in place of your existing ones since all IF skin and wrapper data is not converted (though probably still stored in a form of a backup). Most importantly, remember to create a test board on Zeta before you opt in. Edited by Fission, Jan 4 2009, 10:14 PM.

The AdminCP in ZetaBoards is a bit different from the AdminCP on Invisionfree. It has more options and different, more efficient ways of completing administrative tasks. Look in the Zeta Docs, there is quite a bit of helpful information there. |

Alright... I read one topic and I read this one and I really have to know for certain by something with authority, "Are the posts, etc. retained after conversion?" |

Yes, everything is retained by the conversion, at least it's what says in the official thread (as my forum is still awaiting conversion). But I have a friend who had a forum that was recently converted to ZB and it kept everything except the skin (that isn't converted yet), so yes, it's true. Btw, do you know how much time is there between conversion rounds? Thanks in advance, ~Why-Fi Edited by Why-Fi, Jan 11 2009, 04:17 PM.
