Re: The basic problem with this forum Hey jkwilson, Happy to answer your question! Badges are a project we are actively working on in the new community. Our goal is to have several badges for community members to earn and display! Some examples would be badges for our GS Members or a badge for our RV.net Alumni! We have lots of fun ideas on our current roadmap. Let us know if there are other specific badges you would like to see in the community. We to hear ideas from the community! Thanks, Re: New Forum layout Hey AnEv942, Happy to provide some context here. Originally we did not plan to have a Truck Camper Group and migrated all its content over to Travel Trailers. However, once the community went live and we heard all of our RV.net alumni say they needed their Truck Camper Group back, we went to work! Unfortunately, this means that all of the content was still in the Travel Trailers Group from the original migration. We are working in the background to manually move this content but there are thousands of posts. This is going to take us a while so in the meantime please bear with us. Let us know if you have any other questions for us. We are here to help make this the best possible community. Re: Old system to new enblethen wrote: Is the olde system ever going to get old system information into new? Been on old Forums for many years and nothing transferred. Hey enblethen, All content from RV.net has been migrated over to the new community. Let us know if you see something missing! Thanks, Re: The basic problem with this forum Hey jkwilson, So sorry, we missed your reply asking a question. We are here now. What is your question? We are happy to answer.
