This is an example post in your phpBB3 installation. Everything seems to be working. You may delete this post if you like and continue to set up your board. During the installation process your first category and your first forum are assigned an appropriate set of permissions for the predefined usergroups administrators, bots, global moderators, guests, registered users and registered COPPA users. If you also choose to delete your first category and your first forum, do not forget to assign permissions for all these usergroups for all new categories and forums you create. It is recommended to rename your first category and your first forum and copy permissions from these while creating new categories and forums. Have fun!

Woo-hoo! I made it!

Now let's see what happens when I try the next skin

...well, maybe not. Maybe I"ll wait until you lock out the incompatible skins or fix them.

Incompatible skins are now locked out. We'll have to start getting serious about updating these skins ourselves, I think, basing it off what we had on the old site. Pity there's no way to directly convert them.

I just changed my skin and I'm posting this to make sure the board still works for me

BTW, how do we get to the old posts that were backed up?

Since it's incompatible with this installation, I'll be uploading that over the weekend, and creating a read-only phpBB2 archive forum, where all that will be available.

That's perfect

Did you get the old forums loaded so we could read them this weekend?

Will be doing that when I wake up this morning.

How did loading the old forums go, and how do we access them?

The backup I had turned out to be corrupted. Thankfully, the old site still exists on the old server, and Khallah is going to get me an SQL dump from phpmyadmin, which I didn't have access to over there. Once he's done that, I can have the archive setup in a mere hour.
