new layout Forum - Peter StreamMagic - 19-04-2021 20:41
I find it a bit confusing where to ask a question for e.g. support since the support for MinimServer 0.8 has ended.
In the overlapping period it seemed to be logic to refer to the MinimServer 2 column for support and most of the other questions.
At this moment there so much historic, non relevant information on the Forum that is only related to MinimServer 0.8 and its development, that I would suggest to introduce a MinimSever 0.8 History Column and relate all other columns to MinimSever 2

I am not sure whether your suggested MinimServer 0.8 column would be for new posts related to MinimServer 0.8 or for old posts related to MinimServer 0.8.
I don't anticipate a large number of new posts for MinimServer 0.8. I don't want to move old posts as this would be likely to break links between posts and/or links from other forums. So my preference is to continue as is.
I would expect general support questions for MinimServer 2 to go in the Support section. The MinimServer 2 section should be for questions about migrating to MinimServer 2 or problems that occur after moving to MinimServer 2.

I would suggest to create a MinimServer 0.8 column with a text like: MinimServer is no longer supported by Admin and threads are to be treated by forum members only.(e.g.)
I can understand you have no intention to move old posts, but whilst MinimServer is growing and growing so does all Forum information,there may come one day it is getting to much.
I think it is better to leave out the MinimSever 2 column, as from now on all threads should be related to MinimServer 2 and introduce a not supported MinimServer 0.8 column.
Still, it is just a suggestion.
Kind Regards ,
Peter

Thank you for explaining this.
I have updated the description of the MinimServer 2 section to clarify what posts should be placed there.
I don't think the time is right to split MinimServer 0.8 and MinimServer 2 discussions. The transition is still in progress and I am still willing to answer questions on MinimServer 0.8 (but not provide updates or bug fixes). Also, it is no bad thing for MinimServer 0.8 users to be aware of what is happening with MinimServer 2.
