Transferring of emails to the forums
Transferring of emails to the forums
I just wanted to send an update that I am well on my way to creating a program to transfer all the emails from groups.io to the forums. This is something that many phpBB administrators/users have asked for, and have tried, but there is no way of doing it right now. When I am done with my program I will likely give the code to the phpBB community so others can use it.
I am past 80% done, and working on the harder aspects of the loading/display right now. Once I think I am almost done I will send a link to the test site for everyone to check out before I move it to the live vintagebmw.org site.
A question I would have is; there are 51,977 messages in the R90 Worldnet. I believe I should make a read-only forum on the vintagebmw.org site specifically for the archive of the Worldnet and leave the other R90S forum in place as the active one going forward. I think this would be cleaner and it would not preclude anyone from searching the WHOLE forum including the email from the world net and all the posts from the existing R90S forum on the vintage site now.
Thoughts are welcome!
Best,
James

This sounds very logical and practical to me.
Thanks for your work on this,
