Hay, Swishster,sounds like a goodeye Deer

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

I am not going to discourage anybody taking a backup copy of anything. I too have seen the results of forum upgrades go wrong but I have seen a lot more go unnoticed by people it was that smooth.

Our current plan is to take a current copy of the forum onto another server and upgrade that copy. Then we can open up the new server and if there are problems we can shut that one down and open up this one again. All we do is tell the Internet which one to use.

I would be very disappointed if my project post (A3-59D DODGE) is lost as it's the most complete record of my rebuild I've got

We are very conscious of the value of a lot of the information here.

For the non technical here our current plan is similar to taking a photo copy of an old manual out to the shed to use and leaving the original manual in the bookshelf inside out of harms way

Other forums upgrades are similar to taking the old original manual out to the shed to use.

If there's a problem in the shed and the paperwork gets covered in oil we can clean up, throw away the damaged copy and take a fresh one. They are stuck having to clean oil off every page of the manual.

Does that make the example make our upgrade plans any clearer?

This is the advantage you guys have where the people doing the upgrades have all been involved in large corporate system upgrades so have the knowledge to plan things in such a way to minimize the chance of loss (eg I have worked on large scale bank upgrades - imagine how upset people would be if we lost their accounts. The forum upgrade is following similar thought patterns as I will feel responsible and cop the heat if it doesn't work and we lose stuff)

I have to agree with Mrsmackpaul.
I think anything from Ronhorse is worth saving.
The bloke ,(to me, anyway) is a living legend, part of
Australia's History, and should be saved at any cost.

Just my 2 bob's worth.
