Once again, without confusion, I offer a proverbial olive branch to the people at MJHD. No I am not going soft. No I am not confused because Tis_Ruthy commented (btw - Hi Ruthy, we miss you). And finally, no I am not such an asshole that I wish to watch the painful experiences over at MJHD continue.
OK, on the forum thread "
Wordpress or not? VOTE" some members mentioned pulling all the information from the Wordpress forum over to the PHPBB3 forum. Great idea; and easy to implement.
On the front page of MJHD it is stated that the database is corrupt, and for someone to fix it is going to cost $300. That is not so good.
So here is the proverbial olive branch: I can repair the database, and also transfer the Wordpress information over to PHPBB3 - and as a seeker of the truth; I will do it for free.
Technical information (a little boring but necessary): The old forum of MJHD is actually a Simple Press forum; which in turn basically uses MySQL as a backbone database. PHPBB3 also uses MySQL database. In transferring one to the other it is merely telling the PHPBB3 database where to put the fields/information from the Simple Press forum (for example Simple Press may have used user_id_number and PHPBB3 may be using user_id). It is all about mapping the old database to the new database. Nothing technical really. Using phpMyAdmin it is just a case of mapping various databases and fields etc from one to the other.
As for repairing the database, for free and not paying $300, some friends over at Database Journal have already discussed this and provided step-by-step instructions to do this.
Here is the link for repairing MySQL database corruption.
Once again if any of that seems like it was written in a foreign language, or is too technical for the new Admins (hereafter referred to as Silverfish and Nightmare) I offer my services free; for the sake of the MJHD members.
Peace.
