Great to have this forum up and running again. Congrats to the team on managing what I imagine was a non-trivial migration!

Phew! At last...

It took Frodo less time to get to the Cracks of Doom that it took to get this old hoss up and running again.

But I guess all good things take time! :-)

Mike.

The forum now looks really good. Maybe modern communicators in the profile can be added? Now there is ICQ, AIM, MSN - maybe Twitter and Facebook?

the forum is upside down! ;/

I was told it should be the other way by default. So I didnt argue. It has now been changed back. Anyone who wants to change it back, look in your profile (Look and Layout).

Also anyone who was in the sacremento group, please message me, so I can readd you to that group.


Can we embed video in posts now?

I was going to, but it would be security risk. Would need to check.
Think I will have to rethink that stupid move text,  ;).

Just waiting on the "This doesn't work in ibrowse" posts :)

Some one already said it works, with only logo issue and ip address showing.

I think it would be good to get a map of the current thread ID values from their old ones and set up a redirect handler so that inbound links to the old forum 301 to their new equivalent. That will help reclaim some google juice.

Also, the old non https index page just 404s, when it could at least redirect to the new https forum index.

Was already thinking about this, old IP bans still need to be added. Still lots to do.
I will try and find some time to connect with you and get your help if thats ok. How about Facebook Messenger?

Hi Chris.... thanks for addressing some questions.
If I may point out one observation.....

I would like to suggest moving the "Users Online" data container (at the very bottom) to right above the "Recent Forum Topics". Here's why.... maybe it's just me, but the two pieces on information I like to see immediately when visiting a forum is:

1. Who's logged in
2. Newest posts

The way it is now, I find myself getting elevator dizzy scrolling from top to bottom and vice-versa to see those two info's.

{insert emulated smiley here}

Oh! BTW.... Happy B-day....  :)

@Follett

Please ignore if this has been addressed:

I noticed also that default was to show email address (profile). Has this been changed/discussed?

Are their plans to restore the news portion?
Yeah, I'd also like to see the news without them being buried among the normal messages. Maybe there are plans to replace the main page with recent forum list and news list etc, like it used to be? After those other features are up too?

Good afternoon. What's happened to the Gallery? That used to be my favourite section of Amiga.org.

The website is still undergoing change and we will be tweaking and adjusting it's look and features over the coming months.

Clearly the old way of doing things was not the best and we want to restore Amiga.org to be the premier Amiga resource on the internet.  So there will be changes from the old design of the site and now that the site is migrated to modern software, this will be easier to implement.

Gallery will be making a comeback.  News was not as important as Community so it will take a lower order.   There will be a greater emphasis on discussion, sharing ideas and advice.
