Thank you all for your comments, we are working to incorporate them as appropriate.
Bear in mind that when the YaBB forum was launched it did not have all the data form the old forum migrated, credentials and accounts were not migrated. The club had two parallel sets of user accounts and a third stand alone database to manage memberships. The end goal here is harmonise these databases and reduce the workload for the volunteers.
When the YaBB boards were launched it was a start from scratch situation, and it took months, nay years to customise it and for it to evolve to where it was. The new forums have the potential to do all the tings the old forums did, we just need to configure it that way.
As far as the roll out of this process, we could have had the forums all tested and ready to go, but not with migrated data. We were not even sure on November 1st when we shut it down if we would be able to migrate the forum to the new format, or, if like we did in the past have to start from scratch.
So while we appreciate the comments, please try to be a bit more respectful of not only us volunteers who are managing this process, but to the professionals who are trying their best to do the impossible and make you all happy.
