Title: Back to where it started...
Post by: Creech on February 01, 2009, 12:03:17 PM

Does anyone remember the old Aussie Pinheads site, the pre-cursor to this site? I thought it would be nice to open it up for a day so you can take a look at how we got started. Those of you that are not registered can probably still sign-up for an account and if there is anything you want to bring over here feel free.

The link is http://pinball.inventforum.com/index.php

The site will be shut down tomorrow.

Stupid question time for the "web" guys ...

How do I grab threads - pictures and comments - is is simply a case of just "copy and Paste" into notepad or another app ? I want to bring across some restos..

I would just copy the text into Notepad and save the images to your hard drive. Then post here as per normal.

Yep, and that's one of the problems we faced with the old site. No support, no debugging facilities, no way to update software. So when a problem occurred we were stuffed. Sorry about that. You can use my logon if you like. Just PM me if interested and I will pass on the details.
