Title: Public Beta Test Of Fractal Forums Version 2 Is Open!
Post by: FF2-Team on September 02, 2017, 09:49:27 AM
Hello Community!

After long and hard work the next iteration of fractalforums is finally ready to welcome You for a first betatest!
Your future home is located at

https://fractalforums.org (https://fractalforums.org/register/)

Please register with the same username as here to avoid confusion.

Feel free to completely switch to the new site right away for discussion and posting your images.
Any feedback is appreciated - errors, suggestions, wishes - now is the time when we can still change things.


Enjoy your new home!

The Fractalforums2 Team



PS: The fractalforums.com site will stay open for at least 1-2 months after the betatest is finished.
Then it will be set to "read-only" but stay online as archive. We'll keep you up to date - nothing will be lost!

Not shure about the same name. It could make some mess if one needs to find something. Maybe better would be fractalforums2 ;)

We discussed long about the name and actually considered fractalforums2 but decided against it.
It is still the same community. Just the domain changes. To keep the old site as archive the best decision was to use the same name but with a different domain ending.
Both will stay closely connected and linked as live-system and archive.

If it's old information it is in the archive .com if it's newer it's at .org. That inconvenience wouldn't change if we chose a different name. Small price to pay..

Oh, good, I'm glad the domain ending has changed. Makes it seem more educational.

and it is

I registered but haven't gotten a mail verify.
I just now tried to login but it said there's already that account.

And I just woke up!

I'll look into it.

This counts as a verification for me, so if I don't find the error I'll just activate the account for you manually   O0

No error was obvious, so I manually activated the account.

Have fun!

Silly question, but did you check your Spam folder in your email?

This sort of letter often gets treated as spam by email providers.

Yes. importing the member database would have brought too much junk data with it.

And introduce other issues like member groups, post counts, etc.

We started over with a fresh forum and empty database.

We hope people will not mind and just register a new account with their existing user name so everyone knows who we are talking to!
