WTH happened to the Hannity Forums?

That could be correct. I think I remember something about how it was supposed to happen, but of course I have no idea if it happened, considering I wouldn’t be one of those “regular” posters who got “special treatment” anyways.

Just create a new ID and come…
I my self think it’s the lack of those emojis they didn’t’ include in the new forum that makes it less appealing…AHEM…
[ I am a “regular” who didn’t get a special treatment and I don’t believe there was special treatment here for any one].

Every “old” member who requested it, was given “special treatment” by being made a regular member and so was not restricted (like new members are) as to how many posts they could make per day. There may have been some other perks with that improved status as well.

And is it no longer possible to edit one’s post for typos, etc. after one’s made them? That used to be easy to do, now I don’t see any way to do it…

Issue is being worked on.

So you keep saying …

off the shelf. I think it’s discourse or something like that

They never discoursed it with me.

The old forums were shut down. We were given a month or two notice that the forums were changing to this. Most usernames/passwords were not migrated (although, some more regular posters were). It’s just what it is.

The Mod’s can correct me on this of course but I don’t think any UserID/Passwords were migrated. I’ve been on the old forum since 2004 and still had to create a new account.

Most of us old timers just created our account here with out old name.

We were told you needed to create new accounts. But as far as I know, anyone who wanted to use their old name was allowed to. I only saw a few who changed their names, but I don’t think it was because they weren’t allowed to use the old one. Mods, if I’m wrong, let me know.

I just logged in using my email that I registered with Hannity 12 years ago and got right in with no problem.

That’s a bug right there. They made it too easy for you.

[Snow96]

Ding ding ding.

If they changed their name when migrating, while the old board was still up and running, we verified that’s who they were and granted them and “upgrade” to a higher status here.

Right. In my case it was pretty seamless, though I had the post limit for a day. I think that was before you decided to upgrade all the members who used their old names.

[conan]

They had too. Make it to complicated and I’m screwed.

The new forum does not know that the old forum existed. You could have even used your old password if it contained at least 8 characters.

Thanks for the feedback.

We were supposed to have access to the old site for a month, it was only a few hours.

Being the untrusting individualist that I am, I backed up what I wanted to keep before the deadline.

WTH happened to the Hannity Forums: It’s dead, Jim!

It’s the “Daily Kos” now…

Ok, you got me. I actually went back to check the link.

It’s just a dead link.
