Bangup job on the FT -> VB conversion

[geno]

Seriously, all of the profile info seems to have carried over. All of the post counts and join dates are intact. This has been a bit more painless than I thought! Good job to the powers that be.

 

[Deeko]

Agreed!

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah seems it went rather smooth.

 

[Ausm]

yeah looks good to me too.

 

[geno]

Oh and all of the old threads are still there and all of our sigs are still here. For what could have been a huge clusterfrak, this went pretty damn well.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Agreed, good work AT admins, despite your past incompetence you seem to have pulled this off with only a slightly above average failure rate.

Layout - excellent
Database migration - pretty awful (users named imported_[user], all apostrophes replaced with question marks, titles not carried over, some users lost join dates and post counts, etc)

 

[R Nilla]

Agreed, nicely done!

 

[Shawn]

Lifer status didn't carry over.

 

[Electric Amish]

Lifer status didn't carry over.

Well, if that is the least of the problems, I count this as a serious win!

 

[Turin39789]

Lifer status didn't carry over.

and it looks hideous

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I thought it went well also it is just alot more fun to piss and moan about stuff.

 

[Shawn]

Well, if that is the least of the problems, I count this as a serious win!

If we can get the forum list back on the left hand side it'll be damn near perfect.

 

[Regs]

You people still use ICQ? Sheesh.

I've never seen a VB theme like that but I sure hope that there is one.

Either way, great work Derek et al.!

(couldn't find a :thumbsup: emoticon, we gotta have that!)

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

You people still use ICQ? Sheesh.

My Skype thingy always shows me as offline, that's kinda lame.

 

[seepy83]

Lifer status didn't carry over.

But (assuming this forum software allows custom titles/status), that should be a fairly simple update query to the database, based on post count.

 

[Crono]

It seems ok. All the major features look to be working properly.

Thank you admins for the work involved in the switch.

I'm still a bit surprised it took this long from the initial announcement, but nothing big was lost, so it's all good.

 

[rockyct]

Everything looks like it went pretty well in the switch. I do hope they do more modding of the look.

 

[SmoochyTX]

It does indeed seem like everything went pretty well. Good job Derek and everybody else responsible for the changeover.

All we need to do is work on getting our Lifer statuses back (muy importante!) and a better theme. But hopefully that will come soon.

:thumbsup;

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Going to take some getting used to, but so far, pretty good. And for the first time since 2005... I updated my sig!

The dash was an issue that I wouldn't give up

edit:
And time zone!

 

[BrokenVisage]

I will take lame shots and make fun of the new forums, but appreciate the work and found the experience so far smooth and painless!

 

[RedRooster]

I love how everyone's ICQ profiles are showing up, from wayyy back in the day when we registered and never worried about them in our profiles. Now they're there for all to see.
Surely nobody uses ICQ anymore?

 

[secretanchitman]

definitely agreed! great job admind!
