Stokkolm Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 FTFY. Question, would setting up a duplicate database to hold the fort while the conversion takes place, be to much of a hassle? (granted all the info available would only be the one before the conversion started) I would bet they don't have enough available storage to do that. If it was me I would clone it to Azure or AWS for a few days to keep everything up while I upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted July 24, 2015 Reporter Share Posted July 24, 2015 In case you don't know how to connect to Neowin IRC tomorrow, here's a guide to connecting to #neowin I wrote a while ago. Clicking "Mark Solved" on this one as well so that people see this upon first entering the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Clicking "Mark Solved" on this one as well so that people see this upon first entering the thread. If the front page will be up, why not link to it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted July 24, 2015 Reporter Share Posted July 24, 2015 If the front page will be up, why not link to it as well? It is more of a place for members to hang out while the forums are unavailable. And remembering the last major upgrade...well...that's one for the history books.

Luc2k Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 No chance of a dark theme with this one either, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Apparently theme customization is harder than with IPB3? The look and feel is drastically different and certain elements are in completely different places and "new content" is grouped differently specially if you have a gallery. You used to have "all content>gallery section> 1)new images 2) new comments and now it's all lumped into the same item and it's a mess. When you want to look at new gallery contents everything is lumped together. Also it's not as fast on mobile to do anything and still has panning and zooming required, the last mobile version was scaling better. The new one still has scaling issues. The gallery is a mess to go thru as well. Not as much layout controls. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogurth Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Will You finally bring back the dark option for the forum? Makes it much easier for reading, to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted July 25, 2015 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2015 I would bet they don't have enough available storage to do that. If it was me I would clone it to Azure or AWS for a few days to keep everything up while I upgraded. We already are on AWS Forking the forum DB would just upset people post migration when they lose the posts that were made during it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted July 25, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2015 Can't wait for you guys to see the new lack of darkside theme! No chance of a dark theme with this one either, right? Not through lack of trying to have it ready for launch though (test site has been up for months).

Chris123NT Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 So I already found a bug, go to the last page of a multi-page thread, (this one will work) and click the NEXT link to go to the "next page". Look carefully and laugh at what it does. aphanic and alex_d2w 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted July 27, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2015 This is correct, in fact I don't know why you can bypass the offline notice too call it a perk of your subscription for now? Yeah, subscribers have access. I'll leave it like that for now. If all goes well we'll be fully online today anyway So I already found a bug, go to the last page of a multi-page thread, (this one will work) and click the NEXT link to go to the "next page". Look carefully and laugh at what it does. Noticed this on the official IPB forums as well. I guess this is an official bug Need more room between quotes Can't you alert people by doing @Timan .... yes you can Ian S. and alex_d2w 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
