In case anyone hasn’t noticed, the old forums (in read-only format) are available —>  http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/index.php

The only thing I noticed that isn’t working is the search, so unless you remember where a specific post or thread is, it’s going to be a bit difficult to find.

And my old bookmarks for it doesn’t work :(

I know there is no way to read PMs and the Member’s forum or other special forums.

Oh god no search…

On the old forum the search required people to sign in first but there is no way to sign in to see the search.

They should, if you change the “forum.daz3d” in them to “forumarchive.daz3d”; mine do.

Yes, you have to update your bookmarks as Chaomancer mentioned.

Also Images are not working :(

What’s happening with me is—
Where the image would appear, there is instead the HTML code which would display the image.

Are others getting the same?

It looks like typing in a page number to go to in the forum archive alos doesn’t work.  The only way to get to a page appears to be clicking a number or the next and previous buttons.

I’m getting the code for the images as well - kinda sucks for the tutorials that had pics in them, let alone all the other great artwork/images/renders/whatever you wanna call ems that was on the forums.

NO BOOKMARKS WORK!!!!!! I was assured that they would!!!!!!!!!

I found out how. just go to the old forums and copy the viewtopic.php?t=189550 from your bookmark after the http://forumarchive.daz3d.com /. The address has changed from http://forum.daz3d.com to http://forumarchive.daz3d.com

I have always used Google with advanced search to search the Daz forums. Far superior to the standard forum search and always I obtain the feedback I require.
Google still directs me to the old forum addresses, the only hassle is to have to “type” ( we are too used to point n click)  the word, archive, directly behind the word, forum, with no space in between, then click the go arrow and ” Bobs your Uncle”.
For example, Google this…

Chohole site:forum.daz3d.com

you will get 36,100 pages…that is a lot of work Chohole

The info about the basic URL should definitely be included in the FAQ for the new DAZ 3D Forums:. At present the…

...just doesn’t answer the question.
