Considering all of your forum accounts seem to have disappeared, I'm not sure it's a problem on our end.

You might want to reach out here instead: support.proboards.com/

They claim it's not their problem either, it's a rangeplanet issue because I could login to the old rangeplace site perfectly fine. I don't wanna deal with this anymore though, is it possible admins just delete my threads here from the Blazejecar account and I'll repost them with this account so I can edit them in the future?

PSA: Apparently the head admin of therangeplace.com/ has made viewing the forum available (to members) once again.

Registration and posting is still disabled, so what I recommend you all do is take this opportunity to grab your threads and reallocate them here. You can access the BBCode of your research via the function next to your own OP.

After posting your new OPs in Work-in-Progress Threads, I recommend that you also set a disclaimer like this on top of the old OP on The Range Place:

[font size="7"]Click [a href="new thread URL"]here[/a] for the regularly updated version of this OP.[/font]

That should make this process a whole lot easier, yeah?

I can log in but can't see anything. I keep ending back up at the login page.

It is possible. However, could you link the thread on the support board wherein you asked this question? It seems odd that the board admins would answer you in the weekend, since I know for a fact that they only operate the support board Monday through Friday.

Are you trying through .boards.net or .com? .com should be the working one.

[Kreuger]

I tried both. And it wanted me to link my proboards global account.

[Baronessa]

Unless you already have linked all of your forum accounts to your ProBoards Global Account, I'd suggest going for it and seeing what happens; I have all of my separate forum accounts linked to a single Global Account and have never encountered a problem like this once.

Apart from that I can only direct you to the ProBoards support board, as no forum admin is responsible for your login information -- ProBoards is.

Well then if you could, please move/delete the threads and I'll just post them again. As for the support, I've had this issue for around a week before I even decided to give up and make this account, I made the support request back then already

[Baronessa]

Alright, I moved your old threads just then, you can now post the replacements at your leisure.

[Kreuger]

I did try and link it as well. Oh well.

So we're leaving TheRangePlace forever to move here? If so, what could be nice to do is hide the old website if it's possible. Most of the results still link you to TRP when you search for an artist's range, but never to TheRangePlanet :/ We don't have a lot of visibility yet

[Baronessa]

People who did not register into therangeplace.com/ before it was shut down will not be able to view any threads on the site and will instead be met with a redirecting link to The Range Planet, so any traffic going into the old site will end up here anyway. Visibility will come with time as activity dies down on the old site and we keep posting on this one instead.

Sharing this site around is always appreciated, though. ;)

Hi, I'm sure this is not the right place to post this, but what happened to Range Place? I miss the Ariana Grande page that had all her notes with songs they are sung in. Does that still exist somewhere?

[Baronessa]

Hello, davidjp95. I moved your post to a more appropriate place. You can look at the OP here for a short explanation.

Here's the Ariana Grande thread.

[nathancageryans]

please add Ronnie Radke vocal range!

Hello! I used to be a member of The Range Place, but it's really nice to see the forum come back.

[skaschep]

Can anyone tell what happened to the thread that had Adam Lambert's notes in it? One of the best singers in the world right now and he doesn't have a thread on this board? That's crazy.

[Breakfast in D-sharp]

The curator of the old Adam Lambert thread left the previous incarnation of the forum and as far as I know hasn't joined this one. I'm not aware of any current plans for a new Adam Lambert thread, but since he is a popular singer whose vocal range is of interest to readers, maybe Steve could import the old one for now? We had his range listed as E2-B5, though the thread was in the New/Incomplete section so might not have been peer-reviewed.

Wow, interesting about the forum moving/renaming. I posted a few times at the old place but haven't been around since then. I just happened to take a look and noticed the move. I see the domain name of the old place has expired: maybe the new admins can snag it? Or get the one for this place, so you can move off of proboards.

I have a bunch of archived threads from the old place if any are missing from here that want restoration. I can supply them to the admins here I guess. Unfortunately migrating them into the new forum might not be so easy, but at least the content is preserved. An awful lot of work went into those threads.

[Baronessa]

Hello A-Flat Miner, I moved your post to a more appropriate place.

I have had the domain name since May, but we haven't had that much of a demand to change the name back.

[A-Flat Miner]

Thanks for moving the post. Yeah there's no immediate reason to change the url. ProBoards just isn't that great, so if you ever move again, it will be nice to be on a real domain instead of under a board host's.

[Baronessa]

For what it's worth, even though we did have the URL "therangeplace.com", we never moved out of ProBoards as the site remained as hosted under them and had all the abilities and limitations that ProBoards had.

In addition, there is a surprising amount of potential in the v5 and upcoming v6 editors. You could make this forum look like a respectable website, but none of us are adept enough at the CSS to make huge changes like that happen (and incidentally if anyone out there feels like they are, please for the love of god contact us wink wink nudge nudge ).
