Hello All,
57 years old. Married. No kids, but (being the slave of) 3 cats makes up for that. Have been active and employed in the career field of data processing since September, 1967. Yes, I'm an old dog.
Have my Web sites hosted by 1&1. Have 2 active forums; both quite small in membership and posts (with no expectations of that ever changing). One runs under phpBB2, currently running verison 2.0.22. This forum has been around for ~1 year. The other I set up in phpBB3, currently running version Beta4. phpBB3 (yes, I know, it's a Beta version) has a lot to offer over phpBB2 so I went with phpBB3 when I created the second forum. I didn't realize I'd be waiting until the end-of-time for phpBB to get phpBB3 RC1 out. But that's where that appears to be headed.
Glad, very pleased that Maddy, my wife, researched and came up with vBulletin as the resolution to our needs. We now have a third forum, running vBulletin 3.6.5, where we hope to jell together our 2 other forums. I was able to import/migrate the phpBB2 forum to vBulletin using ImpEx and, with all said and done, it went pretty smoothly. I then tried to import my phpBB3 forum. No go. It looks like I'll have to wait for the release of phpBB3 RC1 before vBulletin will then be able to come up with an ImpEx import process.
This has grown into more of a babble that an intro, so, I'll end it here.
Regards, theOZer
