Hello WLDGers!
As people already know, the WLDG board has long been dealing with performance issues that blocked access and made using the board a challenge. This was due to the age of the platform software, and despite significant efforts has not been reliably fixed.
That’s the bad news. Now for the good news!
A new software platform has been identified, and very soon the discussion forums will be migrating to a new home. Our volunteer tech guru, Jeff Grossman, has been working with the hosting platform migration team, and is ready to start the final process of creating our new home. By this time next week (or sooner) our new digs will be ready.
Some important information:
The new site will be wldg.net (full address is https://wldg.net ). We need to leave the current site active for a little while to allow us to verify data migration, and to allow time for people to migrate themselves to the new site. Please note that the new site is NOT active yet. We’ll let you know when to go check it out.
Your current login name and password will be your login name and password on the new site. No need to re-register. This is an actual migration, NOT a starting over.
As much as possible content from existing threads will remain. There may be some issues with photos or smiley faces, but in general the content will move over as is.
I will be updating this thread with additional information as it is available, including the day the new site goes fully live. Feel free to ask questions & I will do my best to get answers ASAP.
Thanks for being WLDGers, and we look forward to seeing you on the new software!
