If so, fear not, because we'll be able to move any thread out of the archive and onto the public forum so long as it meets some criteria (such as being a thread where attachments weren't posted or a thread about videos - because attachments haven't been carried through and the old video code doesn't work on the new forum).
In cases where we can't move the thread out of the archive... we can simply start a new one

Ok EZR I'll try not to rush

I'm sure you'll all be fine
If you've been using this forum (which isn't very intuitive at all really) the new one will be easy enough I am sure - it might take some time to get used to but then you'll wonder why we didn't do it sooner!
Here's some things it can do that this one can't:
- Automatically embed videos or photos into the post if their link/URL is on a separate line
- Do the same as above with links to BBC news stories, Tweets, etc
- Drag photos into the reply box for them to upload!
- @mention people - and they get notified they were mentioned!
- Get a notification if your thread is moved or edited and also be shown what was edited (so the before and after state)
- Get weekly digest emails if you haven't been online in a while
- Reply to threads by email
...and lots more
