The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
I think it looks very nice, Huw ... I like it. However, it is running awfully slow. Also, I noticed that I cannot change Themes. No matter which I choose, Default is applied.
Now, the BIG question: My forum is heavily modded. I probably could do without some of them, so it's not of huge concern. If I were to update my forum to this version, what issues might I encounter? Broad question, I know. I guess what I want to know is will it just ignore the mods, or will there be a big mess of missing parts?
Glad to see this is finally released. Congratulations and thank you!

some performance improvements added, still a few more places I can tweak

I don't have a clue how to do that ... I'll probably just leave it be, as my forum is pretty inactive these days and I am getting old.

My God! Why did it take so long!
Snitz forums was the very first script I ever installed on any of my websites, and after a decade I had to switch to another platform due to snitz's lack of improvement in many aspects.
Now I see a different platform, having solved many of the old asp version problems.
I have a website running in windows server (due to another script) and I am thinking of creating (yet) another forum in snitz.
Is there a way to use the same user/password combination from another script so my users will not have to re-signup for the forum?
The platform is nopcommerse running on windows server with mssql and my website is safekat
Nopcommerse has a built in forum system, but it is very vulnerable, slow and simple comparing to snitz.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Are you able to give me remote access to the database, or perhaps send me the schema? DO you know how your existing passwords are stored? what type of encryption?
Drop me an email and I'll see what I can do.

There's another possibility (other than decryption of existing passwords, if that proves impossible). Simply write a program copying all the user data (other than passwords) into a Snitz database, then modifying the login script to your existing forum to encrypt the password using Sha256 and modifying their account in the Snitz database when the user next connects.
