[Aves]

w00t! It's back!

Zuni: This is the issue that jliechty is referring to.

When can we get the new forums over here Zuni?

 

[Jason Clark]

I've got that one in bugzilla it will get nailed.

Cheers

Not really and issue. But maybe a concern. Will we have to start over with accounts like before when we switched over from bbs? Or will it be carried over? Thanks Zuni!
BTW, still waiting for confermation email...

when you guys change over, we lose our post counts and such?

 

[DannyBoy]

In response to Wolfie & tomsbrain, I would imagine everything will be kept the same, surely it would be just like upgrading from FT 3.0 to FT 4.0 no?

All post counts and titles will be lost. Also, everyone that didn't register on the beta forum will have to register for a new username.

I would highly doubt it. They aren't ditching the DB just upgrading the software.

Every other time they've upgraded the forums everything was kept.

I looked and don't like the new look.

I've tried to find out how to have threads sorted by ascending or descending and it looks like you can't.

I've had errors trying to post and I don't like the pop up windows.

edit/ I forgot, it's also slower. That is a major annoyance.


I liked the old style better.

Sometimes you have to say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.


edit 2/

Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
JRun closed connection.

But it did post the edit I made but the pop up window threw up the above message.

IE6 Win XP Pro.

Still in Beta, I see gotcha...

The user profile keeps chewing up the link in my signature. When I edit my profile I have to manually correct the HTML code to get it to work.
