AI Thread Summary
The forum will undergo an upgrade to vB3.5 next week, potentially causing downtime of 4-5 hours, primarily during US night hours. Users are advised to back up their journal entries, as some third-party hacks will not be compatible with the new version, requiring a fresh start for certain features. A new custom skin is also in development, aimed at enhancing the forum's distinctiveness while maintaining usability, expected to be ready in about two months. An export feature for journal entries is being considered to ease the transition. Users can expect minor changes post-upgrade, with ongoing adjustments to improve functionality.

I can't edit my posts at all. I don't know if it's because I work on a Mac or what. Before these changes, I couldn't write in my journal. I didn't have much to say there, so it wasn't a problem, but I don't think I've ever written a perfect post the first time, so not being able to edit is a disaster. :frown:
If it was me, I'd never let anyone to edit his posts. :rolleyes:

1. People would think more for the first time they want to reply.
2. It's more fun when no one can't edit/delet his posts. You get to see their offensive potst too. :-p

Well, that would be the problem. I have neither a DVD writer, nor anything else around these parts that's mac compatible (*grumbles about crummy department server*). Heh heh, the contents of my hard drive wouldn't fit on a DVD anyway. I'm really going to have to start grumbling to our IT folks really soon about getting their servers to talk to macs since I'll soon be generating some massive data files that I'm going to need to get off their servers and onto my computer somehow (I've never been in a university that was so incapable of functioning with multiple platforms before).

If you have access to an iPod with enough free space to hold the contents of your hard drive, you can copy to that and your old system will boot from the iPod.

Don't have one of those either. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I already have nearly 40 GB on my hard drive! :eek: It is backed up, but a little at a time (before I left Cincinnati, I got my paws on a DVD burner and backed up everything work related...anything else is there for convenience and doesn't need backing up...like music files; I can always reload my CDs). Looking into buying a desktop for home, so then that will be an option.
