Any issues with the new forum?

[hogjowl]

You know, this change-over is going really well. Much better than it would have if Mark and Andrechelle were doing it. Imagine if they were doing it:

We'd have to log in every other time we post.

All the quick links would take us to a search the forum page.

The board would go down unexplainably for hours.

When we had to re-sign in, the place to do it would be hard to find.

And after it was finally all done, we'd probably just come to understand that the only real difference would be the colors would be all beautiful and such.

Man, I am sure glad Fred is doing this one!!!

Grow men don't need to be thanked. Next thing you know there will be friendship requests, dogs living with cats and pigs flying. (enter shocked icon)
LOL

Please spare him Fred. I know you want to nuke him but give the poor boy a chance!

I know its been mentioned but I don't think the Remember me check button works. I have to sign in every time I click on my bookmarked mikeysboard.

Why won't it allow images or anchor text in the signature line?

(I'm trying to edit mine)

[gimmeagig]

I just got through the new login process and I'm just testing if I can post and if my info is where it used to be. So here I go....

This new set up is a joke, it takes two days to get a new password. And then it is only good for a couple hours. This is the first time I could get on.

That has nothing to do with "this new setup"

Wow Lyman, if I didn't know any better I'd think you're kind of a dick for that comment, but hey thanks for understanding that Fred is working very hard here to bring you a much better forum

I was just letting you know what isn't working for us folks. Thanks, nobody has called me a dick yet today.

 

[Mikey P]

We're painfully aware of the sign in issues.

Thanks for letting us know.

 

[FredC]

OK let me do this one more time.

The old forum was PHPBB. The new forum is Vbulletin.

To convert one to the other there is a conversion script. This conversion script can't pull passwords from PHPbb

We sent out an email letting folks know that once we switched they would need to reset passwords.

Twice there were errors importing the data from the old forum so the import had to be redone. Each time the import is done the passwords are reset. Unfortunately the import errors on the last import did not manifest until the forum was live for a day.

As far as the emails they are put into a queued and go out in batches to over 5k members so there is some delay. This also causes a delay for users requesting new passwords. It is what it is.

now that all the data from the old forum is here and working correctly we won't have issues like that in the future

 

[Lyman]

Well if nothing else, I got my 1000 post. The post counter isn.t working and eastern time is off by 1 hour.

 

[FredC]

sorry...I didn't have time to go in and select daylight savings time for 5k users...but if you go to your settings you can change it

 

[Royal Man]

Is this forum for bitchy old women, like guys or carpet cleaners?

You are entrepreneurs. You should be able to handle a few low hurdles.

No Dave- We were asked by Mikey and Fred to provide input on what may have been missed as the setting up process take place....so no let's not look at it as bitching but as a constructive input for everyone's benefit.

I mean the thread subject is: Any issues with the new forum?

 

[joeynbgky]

So freds the new webmaster? What happened to andrechelle? Looks good guys.

I've been too covered up cleaning carpets this week to catch all the drama, but I really EXPECTED Mr Murphy to screw with Fred on this transition a bit.

Any of you guys who have switched accounting systems a few times, or office database programs KNOW bugs happen.

Brush your teeth and get over it.

 

[steve_64]

i found it suprisingly easy to get in. had to use a new name but it only took a minute.

logging in is easy also. at first i didnt like the look but its growing on me.

oh, the whole coded thing was hard to read but im slightly color blind. did that about 5 or 6 times
before i got it right.

 

[FredC]

Steve if you give me your old username I can manually set the password so you can log in. Then I'll merge the two accounts

 

[steve_64]

it was steve r but its not necessary. you can if you like though. makes no difference to me as long as i can log in.

 

[joe harper]
