==== Transition to Discourse ==== | |||
On the 15th of April, 2018 PCB completed the forum migration from SMF to Discourse. Planning began as early as late August, 2017 and took a great deal of time and effort due to the need to convert data from SMF's format. Additionally, SMF accounts were converted into 'PCB' accounts - integrated with Discourse and OAuth providers Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus - further increasing the complexity of the transition. | |||
