Hey all.
Ahead of the Xenforo move, we need to shuffle our subforum/categories so that links to ES threads between Xenforo and phpBB keep sync after our forum conversion. This will happen in a series of phases, and will unfortunately have to break some links to old content. But how i am doing it minimizes the old links breaking as much as possible.
I have developed some work processes to do this with minimal interruption to the forum, but you can expect the following things to happen:
1) You may find threads in 'your posts' missing... but if you reply to a post that's been recategorized, it should re-appear.
2) Some forum categories will have a lock placed on creating new threads after the new section that replaces it is opened. You can still reply in the old category though.
I have multiple volunteers who can help to make this process less painful and the interruption as small as possible.
