Hi,

I have been using webwizforums for a while and have a couple of questions...

Firstly I have been using the access version, however I need to upgrade to the sql server version as it keeps falling over at busy times. Is there an easy way to migrate the data from the access db to a new sql server db as I don't want to lose the data? e.g. does the sql webwizforums installer do it?

Secondly, my version of webwizforums does not work on Safari. I have searched posts on this and the advice on this forum seems to be to use a different browser! Sadly most mac users would probably rather not bother visiting my forum rather than use a different browser. Does the latest version work with Safari? or is there a fix?

Many Thanks

You would need to use the upsize tool in MS access to try and move the posts to the SQL Server. Do a search as there are loads of posts on this.

There are parts of the forum that do not function as well in Safari, but Safri users can still use web wiz forums as there are a number of users on this board who use Safari. There are just a few problems sometimes with some versions of Safari when posting links and images.

Hi,

I am using version 7.5 and in safari, if you click on a topic, you just get a blank page. I can handle minor functionality not working, but this makes it unuseable for Safari users.

Presumably the latest version fixes this... is it possible to upgrade?

Thanks

Since Safari users can post in this forum then yes it does work in Safari. Also if you have intergrated the forum in your site or using a 3rd party skin check these arn't the problem.

If you are using Access version just replace the ASP pages and the images to upgrade to new versions of the forum.
