CF upgrade 05 May 2008 Q-A

[MMXII]

Just a suggestion from someone who's been here when they made upgrades before or survived through a huge crash. Take a picture (screen print) of what blessings you have and what you have in the bank and save it to your hard drive. They normally will repay any blessings that are lost.

That's a good idea, Dawn.

Just mostly wondering about my Armory items.

If you're concerned about your armoury items, go to my CF page, scroll down to the "What do they own" section, enter your name, click "Get Armour List" and your armour will be displayed less the backgrounds, and "character items" such as hair, eyes etc (as they aren't displayed on your CF page).

(If you've disabled showing your armour on your CF page, you'll need to enable it again)

MN and Criada & RM,
We've asked this question on another thread but maybe MN knows the answer.
Will blessing others anonymously be available like it is now?
Will it be possible to purchase something and send it either known or unknown to the recipient?
Thanks and God bless!

I honestly don't know... but I will try to find out... if I don't get back to you, give me a nudge, k

I did that, Greg. It was a great help.

Just another suggestion, I went ahead and saved all the people in my buddy list on notepad.

 

[Criada]

Buddy lists should be transferred.
But it never hurts to be prepared

Oh. Well, just in case then.

Hey, any unused Reps as we near the change can be given here. They will be cherished.

Nice try though.

I remember a few accounts which were corrupted in previous upgrades, so those folk had to create a new account. I remember some folk were able to have stuff from their old account transferred to the new account which they made.

Is there much likelihood of folks' accounts becoming corrupted during this upgrade process, and if so, will blessings, rep, armor and post counts be able to be transferred over to a new account?

I have been thru many upgrades on previous forums i was a part of. Most likely EVERYTHING will be transfered and you will lose nothing BUT at times there are issues or glitches and an account can become corrupt etc... hence why they advise you to save anything very important to you cause there is a risk (though very small think less then .05%) it is possible and they want to make sure if its that important you download it.

 

[MMXII]

With the upgrade, will we again be able to see who is viewing a forum/thread?

Thanks. That will help a lot.

That's happening to me right now. With all the glitches and technical problems, I was unable to access my other account here, so after awhile, I created this one. I've been in contact with one of the webmasters. I was told that all of my reputation, site support status and post count could be transferred to this account after the upgrade was done.

Hi
I asked the question... it appears that anonymous blessings and gifts are out.
But you will be able to give gifts
