What will happen to the old Asgvis.com site?

rspierenburg

After the initial shock of the change I realize what Devin was saying makes sense. No reason not to integrate it all together. Having said that, does anyone know if it is or will be possible to setup which forum threads are shown individually? I mean, back with ASGVIS there really was only two thread groups to deal with of which I only used the Sketchup based one (although there is great information in the Rhino sections as well). But now that Chaos Group has taken it over there are like 5+ groups of which I am only really interested in viewing one.

I hope this post isn't in violation of Sketchucation forum rules. If it is I offer my apologies, I would have posted this over at Chaos' forum if I had the privileges.

Yes - there are roll up/down buttons for each section.

I hope they get this sorted soon.

There's a little arrow to the right of every forum on the cg forums. If you click it, it will collapse like the fold panels in our material editor. I think I like their forum more than the one we used on our site.

We are hoping to have this sorted out by next week.

thomthom

At least I got access to my imported account.

What I'd really like to know is if there will be a full compatibility between materials from vray for 3dsmax to vray for skp/rhino... I think that would be a nice thing..

nomeradona

oh..i can post to max and maya but not sketchup and rhino threads.

I've been waiting patiently, but it's been more than a week now. Anyone have any idea when the chaosgroup forum will be online for vfsu and vfr users?
Btw, I do have to say it's been really great to browse through the postings on the vray for max part of the forum. I have actually learned a few more tricks/ tweaks for my vray settings.

I know I can post now, and another user posted on the forums. Chaos Group is combing through the users manually, to help ensure that the data is migrated properly between our old forum and their forum. I'm not sure how far along they are, but if you give it another shot, you might be able to post now, or by this weekend.

thomthom

Some poor soul is going through all the thousands of user accounts from the former ASGVis site?

nomeradona

anyway we know you are doing your best there. so good luck to you guys.

the same happens to me

I could be wrong (I hope) but the dynamics of the old forum, is gone ...or will take some time to recover

since I still can't post there, I thought I'd ask in case Devin or anyone else reading this knew. Is there an expected completion date for getting all the old accounts activated? If my account by some time is not activated, is there a particular person to contact to get my account active? I'm hesitant to contact support yet, as it seems they are doing all they can to try and get things merged, but obviously have run into some major stumbling blocks.
I hope the spirit of the old forum comes back as soon as all the regular participants are able to post to their hearts desire! That and I am dying to see a new beta!!

thomthom

Contact them. They fixed my account merge.

dkendig

Please contact support if you are still having trouble. There may still be some issues with some accounts, but for the most part it should be fixed I believe.

thomthom

We can post in the SU and Rhino section now?

dkendig

I think so... If not, we would like users to contact support@asgvis.com so we can be aware of the issue.

thomthom

Nope! No posting access.
Gonna contact support tomorrow.

I can't even make the forum remember to sort by Last Reply.
