| Can i safely move all content from one design to another |
I have been using Ucoz now for 1.5 yrs and in that time grown our community from 1 - 2000+ in this time also many changes have been made, re-made etc etc and in consequence we now have a fully functioning website but with many flaws and parts that either do not work at all or not properly so my thoughts on this were as follows....
1- To move the whole website lock stock and barrel to either another design which it would be hoped to allow us a blank canvas with all settings back to 0 as was fresh from the word go which would solve a lot off our issues i hope. If anyone is able to assist in guiding me in plain simple English i would be obliged... Added (2010-07-08, 10:03 Am) VW T4 - T5 Transporter community website and forum group at www.t4club.co.uk

I think you can move all content from one design to another. But you can't move one site to another.
Your posts, comments will be same as before. Just create a backup before your changes. Unlike computers, no human brain has ever said:" Hard drive full."

1 - Will changing the site design refer all settings currently set at whatever back to the start ie users privelages, access rights and member settings etc .
2 -Will same change make all pages revert to the new design as is. 3 - Will ALL forum posts, awards and such be transferred untouched to new design 4 - Will all member input blogs, adverts and avaiators remain intact .. And lastly if not how can i ensure that they do ...... i am not trying to move away from Ucoz or anything like that only to re-set back to start my site without loosing its content so please help Thx VW T4 - T5 Transporter community website and forum group at www.t4club.co.uk

Quote (t4club) I ask not to start a war, fight or upset anyone my understanding of the world support is thus quote the meaning of support as i was in school taught it taken from Wikpedia -- Technical support (also tech support) t4club, I do not want to argue as well. uCoz Technical Support is available via your website Control Panel -> Help. And this is an official uCoz Community, it provides support as well but note that support is provided mostly by people who are not uCoz staff but are uCoz users like you. The official Technical Support service and this forum are not the same. As I wrote, to contact the official tech. support you need to go to your Control Panel, "Help" tab on the top bar.
Quote (t4club) So it remains i still do not have a suitable answer to my question I answered to your question in my previous post. If you need a more detailed answer, then please tell what exactly is not clear. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Quote (t4club) I answered to your question in my previous post. If you need a more detailed answer, then please tell what exactly is not clear. Sunny A - I change design not Ucoz i will loose all my forum posts My real contention here is thus i am scared that by changing my design it WILL NOT make any difference as what i am trying to acheive is like when i started with all design, use, and admin settings back at default if you like and still it has not been answered if by changing my design this will be acheived.

I think that the following sentence answers all your questions.
Quote (Sunny) When you change one design into another, all you loose is the design modifications. All posts, awards, access rights and other settings remain untouched. But sure I can answer all your questions separately:
Quote (t4club) A - I change design not Ucoz i will loose all my forum posts No, you won't loose forum posts, as well as any other posts.
Quote (t4club) B - Any changes i made to the actual set up of my current design 401 Please be more specific as I do not see a question here.
Quote (t4club) C - If i change from said 401 design will by changing to any other design change say the users privelages, the set settings, and other similar changes i have made throughout severl core settings [have been changed to operate as we do, users privs, pm abilities, and a whole load of others] No, user permissions, settings, PM abilities etc. will remain as they are, they won't be set to default. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Thankyou ........ finally
 So by changing my design i will NOT change the settings i require changed back to default day one of starting this website so then a few more questions.. 1 - How can i do this ? The way i read it is thus [and why i have been insistant of gaining a complete answer ! ] is the ONLY way i can start again is to basically start again with a FRESH new design template but if i do so i will then loose all my forum posts and images and every page of the 200 odd i have written which is what i am trying to avoid ... The design and its current settings are what i am trying to loose but keep the posts, images in my gallery and such like a way to accomplish this is what i seek ... Again your valuable assisatnce and patience is required Peace and Out VW T4 - T5 Transporter community website and forum group at www.t4club.co.uk

Quote (t4club) 1 - How can i do this ? What exactly? Change design?
Quote (t4club) 2 - Will and cahnges of this sort loose me my forum posts etc ? No, change of design won't delete your forum posts.
Quote (t4club) 3 - Will i be gaurenteed to have a totally Non affeted website at the end of this ? Again, change of website design won't influence your website content (unless you added it to the design templates which I doubt). But I would still recommend you to create a backup first, just to feel more safe. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Ok your still not getting what i mean i dont think ....... [or maybe its me ??] anyway i shall try and be as clear as possible here i need to know the following
1- I have made many changes to my current design - it is All these that i want to loose to take me back to a clean, fresh new design untouched.... An as new design without ANY changes having been made to it so everything, all modules, all parts work as they should as its designer intended not as it is now with several things not operating as they have been changed about so often and i am unable to remember what or how i did it ..

Quote (t4club) 1- I have made many changes to my current design - it is All these that i want to loose to take me back to a clean, fresh new design untouched.... Yes, you will lose all these design changes if you change the design.
Quote (t4club) 2 - I require to acheive this WITHOUT loosing ANY data i am unable to replace ie posts, images, user accounts etc And yes, you won't lose website content like posts, images (posted by users), accounts etc. P.S. But I would like to note again that it is desirable to create a backup before you make major changes. Actually, it is desirable to create a backup copy of your website regularly even if you do not edit anything, especially if your website contains a lot of info. I'm not active on the forum anymore.

Yes, you can do it the way you described But there is also an easier way, just go to Control Panel -> Common Settings and mark the option "Update the design for all active modules".

Yeah i am aware of this my intention was not to make sure all parts were done ? it was to ensure that i could use the same design ..... as if i change the design for the same design surely it will not change if you see what i mean ??? which is why i thought changing from current design to another and back to current would ensure all changes were made ?

t4club, if you mark "Update the design for all active modules", it will restore the design you are using now to default, i.e. you will have the same design you had when you created your website.
