The forum search misses quite a few posts. For example, do a search for the word 'pastebin' and only 2 entries are returned, even though I'm sure I remember coming across many more in the past:
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3839 https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=1858 The following post for example contains the word, but doesn't get shown: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/forum_thread?for um_id=3330 Is it because web links are not indexed, maybe? |

It might be time for a some new forum software. I made this forum from scratch many years ago. It might be better to use some premade software for this purpose instead. Anybody know about good software for this? |

I agree with an already existing forum software, that would add many basic features with minimal effort, and could potentially save you time in the long run, maybe I would personally try phpBB, seems like a proven, open source and free solution.. but there is many others that seems just as good: Vanilla Forums bbPress Simple Machines Forum etc.. cheers |

Is the plan to migrate the existing posts across to the new forum, or to start afresh? It would be a real pity to lose the wealth of information that lurks in the depths. |

I think migrating the messages should be fairly easy for Mr. Jensen, but if help is needed, I'll add my name to the list.. cheers |

I will only migrate to new forum software if I can migrate the existing content. Otherwise it is not worth it. Or I can make the old content available through some sort of read only archive. |

With your Yoda-esque Python prowess, I think just about anything is achievable for you... much respect and envy for your skill in it :-) Reply to #6: A read-only archive could work, I think. |

Another one to throw into the ring: Flarum (http://flarum.org/) Its marketing blurb: "Forums made simple. Flarum is the next-generation forum software that makes online discussion fun. It's simple, fast, and free." |
