Just got the emailing from Miles and had a question regarding the moving of media.

Are we only talking about hosting photos?

What about the videos and mp3 files we have uploaded?

Will this site host them or do we need to grab them and safely tuck them away somewhere?

 

Thanks

I just deleted mine. They're all saved on my computer anyway. Just trying to be a good member.

It is best if you have a copy of your own media (all photos, mp3, video, or whatever. I expect to be able to move most of it into some form, but corrupted files happen. We're talking 1000's of files.. even a 99.9% success rate means some stuff is going to get lost.

so...you are saying that this site has the potential to host mp3 and video files?

is that an option not yet turned on feature wise or is it already here and I have just somehow missed it?

"Hosting" audio and video in the traditional sence is not a feature of this site, but I should be able to bring stuff over and create a way to link to it.

It's gonna be tough re-establishing all the links from the threads to these photos and videos.

True dat....

Once I get the info into a database, I should be able to search the forums messages for any reference to a ning file, and update it to the new location... That's the theory anyway..

Edit...
I got curious... there are less than 300 posts with references to Ning pictures. Less than 1000 posts with references to Ning at all. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
