olddbrider Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 First of all, thanks so much Al for getting this up and running. It's sad to see MoJo and VooDoo go down in flames, but I guess it had a good run... A couple of things I had questions about as I was setting up my account: I don't see a way to add a sig line. Maybe I'm missing it... Is there a way to port over "important" threads? Because, you know, ParrotBoy, Aquariums for sale, and so on... Is Austin VooDoo dead, or can it be resurrected on the new site? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSarge Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 And is it too late to get a Bike Mojo jersey? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridenfool Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Should the BikeMojo Owner/Admin ever make themselves available, would it be worth asking if some of the content could be migrated? ParrotBoy's contributions, for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csmceuen Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 It would be nice to still have the stickied threads at the top as well as having some sort of for sale thread for parts and possibly a separate one for bikes similar to mojo.

Ridenfool Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Can we have edit privileges on our contributions? Edit: I guess we can, just not on every one for some reason. Is there a time limit that can be adjusted out, to, like, forever or something? Edit: Looks like Spicewookie is a Moderator over here and can edit my posts and make me look really smart or...... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooperMTB Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Not sure what might be available, but I'd suggest creating a corresponding Facebook Group and check into what all kinds of integration there are for InvisionBB. I know lots on here don't do the BookFaces, but a lot do as well and would be a good way to grow as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Austin VooDoo dead, or can it be resurrected on the new site? You're right about signatures, I have no idea where that is. Will take a look, as I know the forum does indeed support them. As for porting over "important" threads. This is something I've done in the past, but it's non-trivial, and even more so when going from a different forum. If you're converting the entire forum from one type of forum to another, there are generally conversion scripts that can be used to do so. These scripts pull everything over -- users, forums, posts, attachments, private messages, and so forth. If you're just trying to move threads, you need to match up users on the new site with users on the old site. And you certainly will not have all the people from the old site who posted in those threads registered on the new site. Before anything like that could even happen, though, I'd need a copy of the MoJo forum database. I'm not sure how realistic that is at this point. It certainly would be possible to transplant the whole Austin VooDoo forum, but you'd have the same problems as described above. To do it properly you'd need to migrate any accounts that were active in any VooDoo threads, while omitting users who have already registered on this site (you could try matching up via email and/or username, and neither are necessarily foolproof). ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots on here don't do the BookFaces, but a lot do as well and would be a good way to grow as well. I did create a Twitter account and a Facebook Page, but haven't done anything with them yet. I'll be working with a designer to make a proper logo and some nice graphics that I can use for those other platforms. A group would work well also. This forum has excellent integration with Twitter and Facebook. Right now you can login with Twitter or Facebook accounts, and you should be able to share posts directly from the forum to those sites. It's not something I've explored yet, but I will. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am collecting images like this and will sort through them to see which work well at the top of the page. Will probably have to wait until I have a proper logo graphic for the site.

It's currently invisible in the bookmarks bar with a dark browser theme (until mouse-over): That's what I get for using a black graphic with a transparent background. Which looks good in the browser tab (since you don't see the white around the sprocket), but against a black background it'll be invisible. Yes, I will fix that, thanks for pointing it out.

olddbrider Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Nice! I figured keeping threads from MoJo would be tough, but thought I'd bring it up just in case it was non-trivial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not in the City of Austin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
