Michael - I am not a computer techie, but I not that the new proposed board is written in a different code from the current one. I wouldn't be in favour of any change that meant we couldn't access the existing two years of FT posts - they are a valuable archive.
However, I love the idea of personalizing the board

The Opentopic looks quite nice, I really hope FT moves to it...much more robust and modern coding.

james, thanks for pointing to this issue as it has been a major stumbling block for us for sometime now. I'm sure we are all aware that as nice as UBB is, it has some major problems and the fact that the data is written in an idiosyncratic fashion that is only useable by this BB system has kept us from going to another, possibly better solution.
We've been told by InfoPop that their OpenTopic will allow us to import all existing data. We remain vigilant on this front however since we have no desire to lose the existing content. There is some very good info up here.
Thank you all for your support and continued patience.

ThanX...

I'm relatively new to this board, but I do intend to go thru some older topics on a rainy day with the wife out of town..
So please do not lose the older postings!
I too agree with the idea about a 24-hour clock on the daily topics list, but I understand that it would be worthless effort if you are going to switch the board to a new system.
I hope that when you have a changeover it won't keep this board down very long or at all.
If it must be down, please plan to do it when I'm on a busy business trip..
