We have made the decision to migrate the forums to a new platform. This forum has served Bottlehead well over the years but it is built on technology that we don’t really fully understand how to operate and don’t have the desire to learn. This came to a head recently when changing email providers broke our ability to send forum emails like password resets or account activations.
The new forums will be hosted at forums.bottlehead.com (note the “s” at the end of forums). We are working with the new platform to perform a full migration. We’re told this will include accounts, passwords, and all posts and PMs. It’s prudent to make a backup of any important private messages just in case.
We chose XenForo as the new platform because it is a managed service that will provide ongoing security and feature updates, and because it retains a similar look and feel to this site. I imagine there will be some growing pains so I am grateful for your patience.
This migration will take place on August 7. We will keep you apprised of any issues or changes.
