We are keeping the accounts - the forums will be changing a bit but the underlying accounts and software will be staying the same.

I spoke with one of our Web gurus and he advised that you should be able to share .set files at some point in the near future.

Take care,

Had another thought as well... I know that you guys are building a new website for Muvizu, so I just thought I'd ask a question regarding the existing member accounts ; Will they be retained? Or will they have to be recreated?

If I could offer an opinion, I think they should be retained - it seems that you guys now have over 7000 forum members, and while it'll probably be a bit of work to have these retained, it may prove better than losing some of that membership. I know from experience that forum 're-builds' that force members to re-register often take a membership hit - some people are just too lazy to register again.....

...having said that though, there is a possibility that some of the members could be random spambots - so if you killed the existing accounts and had 'real-user' validation when creating a new account, then you could remove the bots from the system... Just a thought.

(I completely lost where I was going with that.. sometimes I have a habit of typing-out-loud and contradicting myself. (it's too early on a monday.))

I like the idea of sharing .sets - I am not in the office today so I can't find out if it's been suggested before or if it's planned but I will do so on Monday.

-Jim.]]> Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:10:24 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic275-another-forum-suggestion.aspx Just thought of something else you can maybe try to include when building the new website/forum. In the "Projects" area (or whatever it becomes) - it'd possibly be a good idea to be able to upload the ".set" files also.

This could open up the sharing/collaboration aspect a bit more. Also, it'd perhaps help new users learn by studying other people's work. (Even though Muvizu is really simple and intuitive to use, and even though there are some *very* detailed tutorials, there'll always be people just cant quite 'get it' until they get to mess around with a pre-made project...)

..possibly?
