Why am I rewriting the Forum using .NET Core? Migrating to .NET Core from .NET Framework can be a strategic move for several reasons:

• Cross-platform capability: .NET Core allows applications to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS, expanding your deployment options.
• Performance improvements: It's optimized for high-performance applications, often significantly outperforming .NET Framework.
• Modern development: .NET Core embraces modern development practices like containerization and microservices, making it easier to scale applications.
• Long-term support: .NET Framework is no longer actively developed, while .NET Core (now merged into .NET 6+) continues to evolve with new features and improvements.
• Flexible deployment: It supports self-contained deployments, reducing dependencies on system-wide installations.

Will I be able to migrate my existing Forum?

Absolutely, the new code base still utilises the core Snitz database schema and includes migration scripts which will bring it inline with the current schema.

What about plugins?

Some of the more popular plugins have now been integrated into the base code

• Polls
• Bookmarks
• Topic Rating

Others are included by default in the release and can be enabled/disabled as required.

• Image/Photo Album
• Calendar/Events
• Post Thanks

I don't know about all of the above because I don't really know what it all means to be honest, but performance-wise, this forum flies. I'd certainly like to try moving my old forum to this if it's possible, I know it's a dead forum now but it woud be interesting to see if it could be recovered in any shape or form.

PM me which site and I'll download a copy of the database and give it a whirl

Alright there, I have sent a PM but it doesn't show in my sent folder so I don't know if you have it or not?

I'm 99.9% sure that I had the save in sent option checked.

mmm, no I didn't , must be an issue with PM's will do some testing locally later see what's up

I just sent myself a message, that went through but my reply to it didn't go through...an issue replying.

Yes, even running on one of my Raspberry Pi it is pretty nippy.

You still playing with that
