Just so everyone is made aware, within the next few weeks, RMFTC will be converting software from phpBB (free software we are currently using) to vBulletin (non-free, more fully featured software). I will be doing a few "test" conversions between now and then to make sure posts, users, private messages, etc. are converted properly, and will let you know at least a few days before we "go live", as you can expect some downtime while I do this conversion.
This will mean a few other changes as well.
The calendar (currently at http://www.rmftc.com/calendar/) will be integrated with vBulletin. I will re-enter some of the calendar settings by hand, but in teh future this will be much easier and much better integrated/more secure. You should still be able to have private calendars, if anyone is currently using that feature, but any settings on current private calendars will be lost.
Photo Galleries will likely have to be reloaded by folks. We will be switching photo gallery software to one that interfaces better with vBulletin and will hopefully have lots less problems then the current one! If you use the photo galleries, and these are the only copies you have of these pictures please download them to your machine! I'll make copies but it won't be easily accessible after I make the switch
The online store may or may not stay where it currently is. If it is moved I"ll make sure all content is moved as well.
Bear with us while we make the change as you may experience some downtime, but be aware it is for the best! Seriously!
