I have been switching the old forums to READ only and working on making them available as a resource, like you said, maybe for a specific time into the future. I actually am in the process of turning the site on.
Try CLICKING HERE to see if it opens the OLD FORUMS PAGE

Hal should entertain providing a link to a forum wherin he asked for some help in re the migration problems h could not handle correctly.
(Which would give some credibility to his statements..)
If you feel I have to prove my credibility here on a site I am very PROUD of after 10 years, then you really need to rethink being a member here on the CTOA. Again, READ THE HISTORY. My loyalty to this group is something I don't need to prove, the proof is in the fact the CTOA is here online.
Again, why not try to be more personal, upload your pic, update info to your profile and try to be more than just a as you say, a USERNAME on this great site.

I can create other album categories, will adjust some and see if I can get the UPLOAD front end to allow a drop down box for that choice. Trying to keep it simple still (as much as possible).

I deleted it, and have warned him to be more polite here. I appreciate input and help, but not attacking my purpose and love for the CTOA site.
Beleive it or not that is the first person I felt I needed to remove a post from in over 4+ years. Think about that for a moment.
Our OLDEST site use to have lots of bashing and hate statement..I am not going to let that be the focus here. I am doing my best and ask for patience that is all.
Again sorry for those unhappy folks here. But, please be respectful thats all.
Our tag line I have used for over 10 years is “Helping Each Other With Knowledge” not bashing and attacking. Please all be nice to each other.
Sincerely,

The DATA IS NOT LOST…JUST OFFLINE..I am testing to see if I can make the old forum just viewable etc…while working on a way to port the data into a archive. I decided to make the move after the site was shut down my the hosting company becasue of virus issues (one problem with the older site software).
I have been wanting to move the site to a new platform for over a year. I have attempted to update the old software numerous time with fatal errors and lost data so I finally gave up and decided on this new style. Give me some time and it will all be fine!

Also, when you enter a block of text, select it and put “quotes” around it,
(which you do when the button doesn't work…)
subesequent letters also apper in the “quote box” upon display.
Once you highlight it and click the QUOTE button, hit your return key and then CLICK ON THE QUOTE ICON to turn the quote back off.
You will know it is right because your cursor will move back to the far left !!
Hope that helps

The old forums is a XOOPS PHP file called NEWBB but it is a outdated module that I can not find any support in the groups to make a conversion.
I have worked with moving SQL data and manipulating it too, but the structure of the old forums data is not compatable.
Thus working out a easy and friendly searchable ARCHIVE is my objective. For those that can offer ideas and input..by all means post or PM me..I am listed as a FRIEND on every member here on the site. Yes, even DavidIAM
I am NOT THE ENEMY..and anyone who has been around here notr only knows that but as some earlier post show…beleive it..
To all of you THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND BELIEF IN THE CTOA site.

How to upload a PICTURE
1) CLICK ON THE PICTURE ICON (looks like a little tree)
2) A box pops up – Click on the image that looks like a magnifying glass
3) A new box will pop up – now Click the UPLOAD tab (if you need to upload a new image)
4) Then click on the BROWSE button (will open up your computers folders to find image)
5) Select Image to upload (you can repeat this too) You have your own online folder
6) Now you have your selelcted pic or pictures in your own personal folder
7) Click the tree icon again and in the pop up folder just CLICK THE PICTURE you want.
Note: I have set it that when you click on the picture icon you folder pops up first displaying all your uploaded pictures FIRST instead of just the UPLOAD box. Feedback on this please.
The logic is you could just upload a lot of pics at once the use them in your future post as needed so your folder showing you uploaded pics opens first for future reference.

It is still online, just blocked, If you can help me figure out how to ARCHIVE it please PM me and help.
I know about the QUOTE AND REPLY issue and am working on the javascript conflict. Can't locate the exact cause yet! Sorry..until I took the site live I can find all issues..no one can! SORRY SORRY SORRY for those that are not happy with a change.
CTOA - Founder
Sorry, You are so upset. Life isn't perfect nor are websites. The prior site data is NOT LOST it is still there, just not compatable to just PLUG into a new forum. The CTOA gains its best benfit from eveyone helping each other with questions and answers. Even on the last forum, the older site before it eventually stopped being looked at because it becomes OUTDATED.
Also, READ THE HISTORY OF CTOA to learn who I AM !! If you have an issue sorry. Also, please note that if you start to attack and be negative and bash.. YOU WILL BE BANNED.. because I will not allow that JUST BECAUSE IT BECAME NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS SITE UPGRADED TO A MORE STABLE PLATFORM.
Again..if you read my post on here the old forums are not lost, and if you have the tech knowledge to somehow make them a easily search-able ARCHIVE by all mean volunteer your help my friend. From the old forum
