I am trying to reduce the bandwidth used and prune old messages, but first I want them downloaded to store as static html pages on my site. I did this many many versions ago, but do not remember how....

My old vb 3.8 guest posted messages cannot be replied to in 5.0 cloud, so I need to close them all. But there are over 10k of them, seems to many to do by hand.

Any way to close all the...

Sorry but maybe I was not too clear. On the forum home page, used to be an "edit" link to edit the content on the page. I edited it before, just no longer have the ability.

When I first setup cloud there was a link on the top that I clicked that allowed me to edit the welcome notice on the home page. Now that is gone, how do I edit things?

Had hundreds of avatars in 3.8, where is the editor for them in vbCloud? Need to remove existing ones since they are just broken images, and upload more I guess.

I am currently running vb 3.8.8 with millions of posts. My current server will not run vb 5.1.1, so I am moving to a new server.

Once I install 5.1.1 how do I move the 3.8.8 database over?...

[Robert Fogt]

But if its the correct servername in my working vb 3.8 then wouldn't that be the correct servername to enter into the vb server test script?

[Robert Fogt]

I have downloaded 5.1.1 but not yet installed, still trying to verify my server meets the minimum requirements in the vb5readme.html. After downloading and putting the server test script vb_test.php...
