tkam Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Hey All, The change to the new forum software went pretty well. Few things I'd like to point out: 1) Old links don't currently work I ran into some troubles with that. I do believe I can fix it but I didn't want to keep the forums off-line till then. 2) I wasn't able to migrate over user albums (this is hopefully just temporary) 3) Tapatalk is supported and will work, but their website is currently down so I was unable to download the server-side files that I need to for it to work 4) Twitter updates - these won't work for now. If I have time later tonight I'll get it setup. 5) Some Private Messages were not able to be imported, I don't know why but it wasn't enough for me to spend much time looking into it. Those are the major things I can think of off the top of my head, feel free to PM me or post here with anything else you notice. 1

aardvark baguette Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Can we get a New Posts tab? Then again maybe everything is marked as old when imported, this maybe premature. Fun to have a facelift once and a while. Thanks.
tkam Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Posted January 15, 2011 Did you try the view new content link on the right? You also could be right that the import reset all that data.
909 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 the forum is looking good -- great job, appreciate your efforts!
Tyll Hertsens Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks, mang, I appreciate all the work. Gonna hit up the donate button again ... when I find it. It seems to be working faster than the old site on my machine.
Tyll Hertsens Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 It seems to be working faster than the old site on my machine. I take that back. It's WAY faster than the old site. Like, blazing fast for me so far.
Jon L Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 For my info, what's impoved with the new software?
The Monkey Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Great job, Todd! I love the new look and feel.
Driftwood Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 I take that back. It's WAY faster than the old site. Like, blazing fast for me so far. Agreed. Amazingly fast.
jinp6301 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Man, the mobile site is great. Thanks Todd!
tkam Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Posted January 15, 2011 Ok for now registrations and any e-mail notifications aren't working. I'll get that sorted out as soon as I can.
HDen Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) The new forum seems faster, also very nice looking! One question though, is there a way to show more of the "recent topics" ? edit: I got this error while trying to change my profile "[#1026] You are not permitted to modify all or some of your profile information." Edited January 15, 2011 by HDen
The Monkey Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Very intuitive interface. Really liking it a lot. Looks like the smileys didn't make it over. I need me some :facepalm:
Aimless1 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Great upgrade and as Tyll noticed, blazing fast.
Craig Sawyers Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Todd - my hat seriously off to you. This looks like a non-trivial exercise to migrate across, so bloody well done. As others have said this new software really rocks along. Can't find my PM history though - am I one of the ones for whom that migration failed? Or am I just not looking in the right place?

Click on your name on the top right, and select "Messenger." My messages carried over.
Craig Sawyers Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 if it's there, it should be a floating number on the upper right hand corner of your icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Yeah - I was looking in the right place. Showing zero - so I guess the migration of old PM's failed for me. Reks - do me a favour and PM me something, just so I can veryify I get an e-mail copy too.
Driftwood Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 By the way, I was thinking about watching a movie at my home, and I thought there was an article about how to do that. I can't find it now; did it make it over?
Pars Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 WTG Todd and all! One minor nit... I assume the View New Content in the upper right is the equivalent of view new posts in the previous iteration. When I hit it again after reading a topic (last post), it again shows that topic, but with no new content. Apparently not marking it as read.

Yeah, that was bugging me too -- you can change it in your settings to show only unread items, not all items changed since your "last visit."

Reks - do me a favour and PM me something, just so I can veryify I get an e-mail copy too. Hmm, there weren't any errors when migrating over PM's. Btw e-mailing functions aren't working right now.
Pars Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah, that was bugging me too -- you can change it in your settings to show only unread items, not all items changed since your "last visit." Just found a setting related to View New Content since last visit or View New Content Unread... think that did it.
