Using Your Old Account on New Forum Directions: How to Login Y-Corner (phpBB3)
Yep, it's official; WE MOVED! After gathering opinions and poll results in the "The Future of Y-Corner Forums - Switch to phpBB3?" thread, it was decided that we will be switching to a phpBB3-based forum that will be hosted under the YoonHuh.com domain.
Some of you might be wondering why we've decided to move. Few major reasons:
1.) phpBB3 offers a lot more advantages over using ProBoards.com.
2.) The new forum will be hosted privately under YoonHuh.com. Our ProBoards-based forum is restricted to being hosted only on ProBoards' servers, which makes us subjected to any downtime that affects ProBoards' servers.
3.) Ability to back up all of our threads and posts. On ProBoards, this was not possible, but switching to phpBB3 will give us this ability, in case of any data loss.
For a while, decision on the move was stalled, since there was no way to transfer all of our posts, threads, and accounts to phpBB3. However, there was a major breakthrough recently, as someone over at the official phpBB forums was able to develop a method to transfer posts/threads/accounts to phpBB3. Utilizing this method, we were successful in transferring all of our data to a phpBB3-based forum, hence making way for our relocation.
Since this is a major move, I know that this will be initially inconvenient, which I apologize for. Although some of the features that were in use on this forum will be initially missing on the phpBB3 forum, they will eventually be added back in, once everything on the new forum settles down.
Since member accounts were transferred as well, you can login on the new forum using the same user name that you currently use to login on this forum. However, all accounts were given new, randomized passwords, as passwords could not be transferred. Please check the thread "How to Login Y-Corner (phpBB3)" for directions on using your old account on the new forum.
As for the existing ProBoards-hosted Y-Corner forum, it will be kept online as long as possible. It will act as an archive forum, for those that want to visit for nostalgic purposes. It will no longer be updated. All boards and topics will be set to 'Read-Only' mode, except for the 'Forum Support Center' section, which will be left open for those that are having issues logging into the phpBB3 Y-Corner forum.
If you have not done so already, please update your bookmarks to 'http://forums.yoonhuh.com' or 'http://www.yoonhuh.com/forums/'. I will be re-directing the current forums.yoonhuh.com/ URL to the new phpBB3 forum on July 6. The ckturbo128.proboards4.com/ URL will be used to access the ProBoards-hosted Y-Corner.
If you have any personal questions or issues regarding the move, please feel free to post in the 'Forum Support Center' section or PM me. Thanks to everyone who was able to vote and give their opinion on this decision!
