You would just set up new forums somewhere else and start fresh.
It is frustrating for dh and I, after managing to salvage the old forums (that still counts as a miracle since we had no access to any of the tools to transfer forums), to now, with full access to all the accounts involved and all the tools available, be unable to do a simple transfer to a new server.
Dh is going back to first principles and wondering if the tool that allows us to create a tool at GoDaddy isn't working. We proved to us (and them) the account works to put up a simple webpage, but we can't create a phpBB. If we can't do that, then we can't move the forums over so we need to figure out why we can't do that. GoDaddy supplies a tool that creates phpBB but doesn't offer any support on that tool (dh heard the support tech say he'd never heard of phpBB which I find completely unbelievable but it may be true.)
In the frequent flyer forums there's the acronym HUCA (hang up, call again) when you get a booking agent who can't do what you need to them to do (i.e. you can see a flight for sale but they say they can't transfer your booking to that new flight.) I think we'll be trying that until we hit a support person who knows something.
I'm equally frustrated with bookkeeping stuff this morning. Last night while dh was working on the website I moved into the office to be handy to answer questions or help and went to reconcile an investment account. But my opening balance was off. I have spent almost 2 hours this morning and am now to the point where I can begin that process. Everything was entered and should have been reconciled to the end of Jan 2014, but there were mistakes in August 2013 and October 2013 so I had to find and fix those. In the move, we shredded all 2013 and prior statements so I was working blind for a while until I remembered how to trick the system into generating statements online (if you get paper statements, the system won't show you online ones but when you switch to online, magically all old statements appear!)
The living room is a disaster as I pawed through all the files I could find, pulling out boxes of records, looking for the missing paper statements.
Oh, and I'm not yet dressed. Today that will be a long process as I have to henna my hair today.
Time seems to be flashing by quickly as the deadline for the trip approaches.
