you have to use this to get in here: https://www.neowin.net/forum :)

But you'd have to be in here to read that comment in the first place.

Something of a catch-22 here. :p

is it me or does the main forum (www.neowin.net/forum) still have the old version of the message board while the sub forums are running the new version?

[canbeli]

I don't quite get you...subforums? They run the software..?

[x-byte]

I love the speed. Although, not that many users are online.

[HoochieMamma]

I find out NOW that the forums are up. I was put off because of the message on the main site!

[Y2Stu]

same here. i only found out the forums were online because i was looking for a theme in google!...lol

[bayrider]

I don't quite get you...subforums? They run the software..?

For me, the main forum that contains all the subsections and subforums is displayed in the old(er) version while the subsections/subforums ie: General Discussion or Site & Forum Issues contains the new version where the posts are highlighted with the mouseover and all the other cool new features.

Yesterday it was fine though, both the main forum and its subsections contained the new version

Front Page has been down a good while now aye!

[no-sweat]

Front Page has been down a good while now aye!

no time-table has been given yet for the release of the new frontpage. The GFX team and the other coders are still in process of getting the final coding and tweaking done.

Can see the websites usage decrease more and more every day, and those lost members won't ever return :/

[sundayx Veteran]

why dont admins just recover the v3 main pages, until everythings ready. this way news can still be posted, and nothings affected, shouldnt it?

The old code isn't compatible with IPB 2.1.

[bluebsh]

I'm sorry but you guys must have a bad development model... because before you deploy you are ALWAYS supose to get all codeing done and working and fully tested so you can have a seamless deployment... this should of all been done before it was ever tansitioned over... you should of made a backup copy of the database to this new place, set up the entire sit ethere first tested it out completely while letting the old neowin running on neowin.net. once you where sure all the code worked then sync the databases... you really need to look into changing how you guys do things...

Well you we could do with there been less users because the severs were not coping and now we have new severs with less users, so it should be even faster! :ninja:

I might of been a good idea is they did get 3.9 Swift script ready before moving to new severs, but then what right do I have to comment.

My two pings averaged 35mps and 34 mps respectively.

What did you think we did? Bugs happen and were working on getting them fixed. We expected the complete transfer to occur on the 29th, however some things poped up that blocked us from releasing the main page to the public.

I can see the main page and its making good progress. It's not like its going to be down for months. :rollyes:

We are working on the issue and hope to get it resolved very soon...
