    Thanks for the reminder, I forgot that was still on my list of things to do.

      I have been using the Flag button at the bottom left of posts, but I have noticed that it doesn't seem to be there is Newbie Check In.

        Someone pointed it out a few days ago, I'll see if I can find the setting.

            Am I overlooking the Like/Unlike and MarkAllRead buttons?

              The Like has been replaced with emojis. The Mark All Read has been replaced with a "Mark Channels Read" on the Forums Home page and a "Mark This Channel Read" on every individual Forum page. They are located near the bottom of the page at the center. I found it the first day on the new database everything was marked as unread.

                I cant find any of the old posts with super valuable information in them. I did not print them but saved the links to them. Now I cant search them on the site. hopefully all this comes back soon.

                  FY I It can take 3 to 7 weeks for search engines to update their indices. We are just into that window. Aneurysm has just recently gotten them to remove all the old links that gave invalid link errors.

                  All the data is there. You just need to know how to find it. There are posts all the way back to the end of January 2005, which is when the administrator joined. When you open a Forum you will noticed a box at the top right that says "Filter" Click on that and set for "Date Created" "Ascending" With a Little trial you can get into the correct date range for when the post was first posted.

                    Im hoping the stuff is found. But I had a link to Ricoh C2003 fiery and how to remove the settings. But I am trying to search the site but I have no idea the date of when someone posted the instructions. So if I search Fiery and ricoh I don't get much. Maybe I am not doing something right. But, this site was super useful for me, hoping its all back like it used to be with the content.

                      If you have a saved "link" it most likely will never be useful. Thew structure of the URL is obsolete. The Topic name is the only thing that remains the same. The path portion in front of the name has changed as well as the sequence number after the name. So that name is what you need to search.

                      As for disconnecting the Fiery the following might help.
                      SP 5193 External Controller Info. Settings needs to be set to 0 when the Fiery is removed. Check the non-default printout to see if SP 5895-001 and SP 5895-002 have been changed to disable GW Print and Scan. If they have then reset to default.
                      Check that the normal, as opposed to the GigaBit. cat5 jack is enabled, SP 5985-001, set to 1.
                      Remove the GigaBit ethernet interface.

                        We're still working on a fix. The old links are still useable but a URL Rewrite is needed, it's a relatively easy task for someone who knows what they're doing but not in our situation. I'm looking at a few options before I go with a fix that takes a lot of work. I know the situation isn't great but it's being worked on.

                          Why were the url's changed I asked Google Gemini
                          When migrating a website is it best to keep the urls the same?

                          In ideal circumstances, yes, keeping the URLs the same during a website migration is generally the best course of action. Here's why:

                          SEO benefits: Search engines like Google value established URLs and the backlinks they accumulate over time. Changing URLs can cause search engines to temporarily reassess your site, potentially leading to a dip in traffic. Keeping URLs the same helps maintain SEO ranking and user traffic.
                          User experience: Users who have bookmarked your site or memorized specific URLs might find it frustrating if they suddenly lead to different pages. Maintaining consistent URLs avoids user confusion.

                            I would think that would be a question to direst to vBulletin since it is their software.

                              I think that may not be the case probably after upgrade reindexing Search engine function went wrong way...
