CF upgrade 05 May 2008 Q-A

[edie19]

what about our pm's? Should we download those too?

Yes. I would just to make sure you don't lose anythin

can't speak for other members - but I know that I have ~250 pm's here (most are staff related). To be honest - I'd rather not have to copy all those onto my hard drive or into a word program - is there truly a risk of losing these?

I think there is always a 50/50 chance to lose things ..so better be safe than sorry. I think if you download as text, it will copy into a word document..I tried it before and it worked.

I download as xml, but text probably works fine.

 

[drstevej]

Text works fine minus formatting

All that will be saved. PM's must be downloaded, not sure if you will lose them.

 

[Angeldove97]

The only think you'll have to save, is if you have a special html set up on your profile--- that will NOT be in the update. Otherwise you don't have to save anything.

What about the gallary? and bunches of stuff in private drafts?

What you mean like closing a bunch of security holes and adding a lot of much needed patches, OR....

going on some heavy drugs while designing the user interface, trying to build a new product on code older than mankind itself, increasing hardware requirements to 'ludicrous' and making instability and incompatibility the new standard?

As I understand it, your PMs and private drafts will be transferred as they are.
Not sure about the gallery... I'll try to find out for you
