The forum however is a bit different. We have around 10 Million posts to convert from 2.x.x to be able to work with IPB 3.x. A test has already taken place and I can say that it takes just under 2 days to convert! Dave isn't on now but I'm planning on asking him if we can append the rest of the post data on Friday rather than having to run it completely again.

Yorak, Audioboxer. Does this answer your questions?

Can somebody please verify the approximate time Neowin will go down, and roughly how long it will be down?

Thanks.

12PM GMT. Approximately 12 hours but that's a guess, it could be longer it could be shorter. It really depends on the work rate of our servers upgrading the millions of posts.

oh man, good luck admins. Thanks so much for such a wonderful job you guys do for us here to keep this place going. I know its a second full time job for some of you without compensation and I for one salute you for it.

Good luck tomorrow and can't wait to see the finished product

As tom posted, it will be starting around 12pm GMT, so another 12 hours from now.

And if it does only take 12 hours to upgrade everything, it should be done this time tomorrow.

Hopefully! 12 hours to start time :D

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
