New Site Status

Wed
- Tested the migration from old Forum to Temp Forum. Success but for a few '05 posts that were lost in 2 categories.

- Installed and configured "shell" for the new site. Looks good. Ready for data dump of 60,000+ posts !

Thursday
- Rolled back to old Forums for a few reasons. One is that we should be able to recover all the missing posts from '05. Also, we don't feel we got all the member info converted over properly the first time.

- Stay Tuned....

Don't beat yourself up over this. Anything like this is a monumental task, and something is always going to bite you when you least expect it.

Hey, could you please lose those posts where I said something stupid?

Why can't I post in the NE region anymore though? It says only users with permission can post there?

I would like to make a request to have the classified as part of the forums.

Thanks for all the work!

Sorry I dont know the exact term to use. What I meant was to be a part of the discussion boards like "bargain shopper" as a example.
 
Thank you for putting together a terrific forum. I am always amazed at the knowledge and experience shared here. What a great place to go to for help and good humor!
 
I have a secret.........

I have met the webmaster..

and he's a great guy...

so, Mr. Webmaster, life here at IT.com is great, chill, kick back, and upgrade the site when it suits you...we REALLY appreciate your efforts and the forum!

thanks!

I second that...what a great website. It is amazing how much information on our favorite patime gets passed around on here and the friendships that have emerged from it as well...thanks again!!!

ABSOLUTELY keep the classifieds in the current format rather than in discussion strands. Ever hear of "bumping?" Argh.

Actually, if we had strict rules, bumping would not be allowed. If someone did try to bump, well, they wouldn't be bumping anymore!

Just a thought...

Wait until you see the new site.
Some of your concerns/requests will be moot at that point.

While I'm sure many others will crop up.
We'll deal with them Monday. Until then.. chill

Ed,
That's fixed now. Thanks for the email.
Accidentally left it locked after the maintenance.

Thanx!

Also thank you for the efforts to bring the site to a more feature packed forum system. With the volume involved and the system differences - it must be a huge task in the middle of the season. THANX!
