The New SSWT Forum

[Lynn Terry]

After 6+ years, I've decided to move the SSWT Forum and switch to the vBulletin platform. It offers users more features and more options, and is much easier to manage and maintain.

The original forum will remain intact as an archive, but will be read-only. Visitors will be notified to join us at this forum for active discussions. For members who are moving over, this means all of your content and all of your signature & profile links, will continue to work for you.

You can view the original forum at:
http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/forum/

You'll notice the categories and layout here at the new forum are much more condensed. I will create sub-forums as necessary to move dominant topics to a dedicated space.

Note: You will need to register here, and set up a new profile.

If you have feature suggestions, feedback, questions, etc - leave a reply below and let me know!

Nice facelift to your community Lynn. I'm excited to see this place grow and will do my part to help spread the word about the best community online.

[Lynn Terry]

Thanks a million, Scott :)

You've been such an asset to the Elite Members community at SSWT this year. I look forward to having you involved here at the new forum as well!

[Janice Dugas]

Really like the feel and look of the new forum Lynn. Looking forward to share and help inside the best community on the web. Take care!

[Lynn Terry]

You'll have to register here, and set up a profile. ;)

The new site looks great Lynn. Congratulations on a job well done!!!

[Lynn Terry]

Great new look, Lynn


Monna ;)

[Sherri Traylor]

It's like moving into a new house, isn't it? Lots to do but you're excited about the new space and layout. You want to make sure everything is put away in the right place.

Or everything stays in boxes until you move again :eek: (just kidding).

I think the forum's new home is fabulous and it is exciting to look forward to the new changes ahead :).

[Lynn Terry]

Good way to put it! Ironically I am redoing my house at the same time- haha. So when I'm away from the computer, I'm moving furniture around or shopping. :p

[lisamariemary]

Love the cheery, bright, upbeat new feel to the place - goes with the lovely pic you selected of yourself - it's a whole 'site attitude' makeover. I'm loving it! :)

[GanderCo]

You've probably already figured this out before I wrote this, but just in case; "I" had to create a new acct. Technically, this is a "New" forum. That's what Lynn told me, so I did it and it worked.

I still used my old UN and PW, but had ti like "Re-Register", worked like a Charm! :)

Pretty slick new forum Lynn! Looks GREAT. Just have to figure out where to put my "bags". :D

Let the par-tee begin ...

Hi Lynn!

The new site looks great! Do you have a specific Tweet message you would like re-tweeted? If so, post it and I'll re-tweet.

[Lynn Terry]

You can actually Tweet This Thread or Tweet This Post on anything here at the forum. You should see the options at the top of each thread/post.

Here is the tweet I sent out yesterday that has had several retweets:


RT @lynnterry I am archiving my forum of 6+ years, with over 10,000 members and almost 100,000 posts. New forum: http://tinyurl.com/n6ads9

[WAHumor]

That sounds like one very cool feature.

Is clicking that little link really all it takes??


Dan

[Lynn Terry]

Yes, it will automatically tweet this:

"Viewing this at SSWT: link"

With the link to the post or thread your are viewing.

[WAHumor]

That.

Is.

COOL.


Twittering AND forum lurking all in one!



Dan

[CorpRebel]

Twittering AND forum lurking all in one!


See??? You're just looking for the EASY way out! LOL

I posted this in the Welcome section, but I guess this is the place to post feedback, I hope.

I know this new forum must have taken a lot of work. Wise choice to not port all the old forum over and leave it as an archive. It would have been brutal to move it all.

The only thing I noticed that is worth mentioning is that there is an option to change themes at the bottom of the page. If you select default, all your navigation that you so nicely arranged at the top of the sswt, disappears. You may want to take that option away since you have the forum integrated into your website. I am sure it is a checkbox in setup somewhere to remove it.

I have been playing with Drupal and was able to integrate both phpbb and Simple Machines Forum. I chose to go with SM. But now I am dreading having to learn to run a forum, on top of everything else:mad:, so I know what it takes to get everything working and integrated so nicely.

Great Job

Pablo:)

[CaliforniaJerry]

I'd just like to check in on the new SSWT forum. This is one of the best fourms available for Internet Marketing training and personal support for your online business development.

[TraciKnoppe]

Hi Jerry. Welcome. :)

[Lynn Terry]

Pablo & Jerry - great to see both of you here! :)

I agree on that point too, Pablo - it's on the list to take care of. Thank you!

[grahamg4]

I can't send a "private message" as the option does not appear per the FAQ.

[Lynn Terry]

I am looking into that, Al - it was working before, and I'll have it back up & running shortly :) Thanks!

[nar321]

OK I have now registered for the new forum.
Will wait for further instructions as I realize this is brand new.
Instruction for use are use the new forum in the same way as you used the old Forum. Consider joining (if your aren't already a member) the Elite Forum.:)

[pschlegel]

This is so cool to see the forum upgrade. I just started using VBulletin awhile back and am already seeing some things I didn't realize could be done with it.

[Lynn Terry]

Hey Paul - great to see you here at the new forum! :)

[deannatroupe]

Nice new forum Lynn! I love the changes.

[Lynn Terry]

Thank you Deanna :)

Glad to see you here!

[Joseph Ratliff]

The new forum is b-e-autiful Lynn. Nicely done.

Good to hear about the archived posts too. I had quite a few on the old one. :)

[Lynn Terry]

Welcome back, Joseph - great to have you here on the new forum! :)
