Migration Plans
Everything is pretty much set to be able to do the change in domain name. There is one thing outstanding which could be completed today at which point I will do the migration this evening, if it doesn't happen today then the scheduled day is Wednesday or Thursday this week (work commitments allowing)
At the point of migration, the Planet Swans forum and site will be placed into read only move and the databases all transferred and the redirects bought into place. Estimated this will take 2-4 hours but it could be significantly quicker.
Usernames will all transfer across, passwords appear to be a little more hit and miss largely as it seems that the current forum software provider changed the way that they are stored in the database at some point in the last two years which makes transferring harder. If yours does not work on moving then a simple reset of password will achieve the desired effect.
Most of the background work has been done on the "new" site, but some cannot be completed until the database transfers hence the time of transfer being a but woolly.
Please keep an eye out for exact date/times, it could be as soon as this evening.
