Welcome to the phpBB version of ZKL

Post by Jay »

Welcome to the phpBB version of ZKL. We moved from the IPB forum software to the phpBB forum software for 2 reasons. The first reason is that the old IPB forum software could not support the newest software that is on the web host's servers. The second reason is that the old IPB forum software was allowing too many spambots to register as members when we had registration turned on. We are hoping the phpBB forum software handles that better. In order to help prevent spambot activity, this site does not allow a new member to start new topics, send private messages, or have signatures until the member has first made 3 reply posts. A good way for a new member to earn their first reply post is by introducing themselves in the "A Place For New Members To Introduce Themselves" topic in the "Introduction, Reintroduction, & Going Away notices" forum.

All of the topics, posts, private messages, smilies, and user information has been converted to the new software. Some formatting was not converted correctly, but most should be fine. If you had a signature or if you had an avatar from the gallery, those might need to be updated. If you had any private messages in a Sent box, those should still be there, but it will not show who the messages were sent to. This forum software works differently in some respects than the old forum software did. But it works similarly enough that it should not take long to get accustomed to it.

Once again, welcome. :D
