ecardmodels Forum

As some people know, the ecardmodels forum will be migrating into our community over the next day or so. In order to make the migration as smoothly as possible, it will require our community to be offline for short periods of time. So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. if you have any problems or encounter any problems, please send me a PM or use the contact us link at the bottom of each page. Thanks for your understanding.

Yes indeed - I am looking forward to beefing up the design section with more stuff! Please keep in mind that though this is the new home to the ecardmodels designers that I hope this helps bring more designers to the table to offer free and commercial kits through any vendor.

It might be a little messy at first as when we bring stuff over it will be an exact replica of my site but likely emeshed under the designers area. It will take a bit to bring it under a more formalized control to fit in with the set up here. I dont want people to scroll a country mile to get to the bottom!

One thing that has worked out well is dedicated designer buckets which I hope to keep going here for designers to make it easier for people to find their other works in progress. This will help everyone see what kinds of stuff is coming out and keep from doing duplicate work!

Any suggestions feel free to chime in via PM at first (please no public discussion) until Jason, Rick and I have he basics figured out
Thanks!
Chris

one thing have to ask is the use of the same user name on ecardmodels as we had here going to be a problem? if so would it be wise to just add a number or + to the present user name that the migrating names have here.

if the username is the same they will merge and your password HERE will be the valid one. if they are different you will have two accounts, in that case let us know and we will merge them with your chosen username of the two.
Thanks!
Chris

This is a good thing, the design section here has been a little weak, compared to the "other" forum. Maybe with enough tips and tutorials, I can actually finish the many models I have started to design.

Hey all - sorry this is taking longer than expected. Minor thing with the database.... We just want to make doubly sure there are no issues with the merger.
Thanks!
Chris
