We're back online, but in what I call "beta" form.

I apologize for the delay, but had a couple of glitches which required me to rebuild the site's new theme from scratch today, from a completely different machine than the one I used to build it the first time.

There are still little problems, and yes, I know about the header displaying the whole "Welcome unregistered" thing, but we'll get there.

Questions or comments can go here.

By the way, the kitty will be back.  Probably Monday or sometime.  I have him here, but it's been a long day, so I'm just going to let you guys play for a while.

FYI: Avatars seem to be disabled... for the "to-do" list... :)

Looking good though! Great work!

EDIT: Opps... working now!

Sorry to hear about the teething problems. Sucks to have to repeat work already done.

Glad to see that the move is mostly done. A few tweaks here and there are to be expected so thanks for your time and effort.

Ah, good. :D
I tried to log on earlier, first at the old place, totally empty. Then looked for this place, I didn't recall the url but I found it after digging in the browsing history. Tried to log on, but I was told Viking didn't exist. :p
But now I am existing, thanks for that! :cool:

I'm really liking it.  Interested to see what Communiyt/Social Groups is all about.  Noticed, iPhone & Apple logos in there.

Thanks Wayne!

I do miss the old classifications though, Senior Member Hobbyist does sound half as good as Cult Leader or Spawn of Satan or whatever they were.

Well, you'll never again reach the pinnacle of abruptness that was your single character reply :p

@ moto

Good to see your cute little character back again :-)

I'm hoping my avatar will return with this post..

Do'h!

Ahh that's better! Thank you cecilia for E-mailing that clearer image to me on March 5th 2008. Sometimes it pays never to delete anything.. hehehe
Title: Bravo
Post by: xaccrocheur on May 17, 2009, 11:34:45 AM
Pheeew. What a stressful weekend eh ? Reloaded every once in a while, damn that was disturbing at times.

BRAVO, guys.

Now I re-subbed to the RSS feeds (I'm using netvibes but not for long I'd say), only I used FFox built-in function to find it. I humbly suggest to advertise them more explicitely. What I'll be missing most is the random pic and photo forums. Oh and let's not forget the essential : Where is the favicon gone ?

It actually feels good to have a brand new A.org.

I think all the other stuff like galleries is going to be implemented soon. The first phase was to get the forums ported over with as much data intact as possible.

I'm sure there is still a lot to be done but we will have to be patient as these things are time consuming and spare time is a rare commodity for most people.

Oh noes, whatever are you going to do when one of those "Is it possible to..." questions crops up in the future?

Never again will we witness the terse concise "No" for which you have become known :(

You'll have to suffix it with some nonbreaking whitespace ;)

That one would probably work as it's a link which means the raw text input is going to be bigger than the 10 character limit.

Oh, I don't remember it being a link before. In fact, I'm almost certain it wasn't when I first read it. I don't think I would have been amused by it had it been longer than a single character ;)

We all currently have our post counts intact but this will probably change once the auto-maintenance runs for the first time as mentioned by Wayne.

That will remove all the orphaned posts and corrupt data and will trim our post counts down a little.

If you want to regain your high post counts after that you have to become more active on the site. (Which isn't a bad thing IMHO)

Quick, somebody edit the script and remove the bit that resets the count :lol:

You know what?

I'm already getting used to this new layout. :D


Guy's don't forget to go into your options and enable the advanced WYSIWYG editor and set the correct Time Zones amongst other tweaks.

On the "to do" (again) list.  I actually had them done but had to go back and redo everything Saturday.  Just didn't get to the extended smilies.

My avatar vanished so I uploaded it.  My personal details were vanished also so I reentered them.  My private messages seem to be intact! Yahoo! :)

Message editing is 10 kazillion times better on this new forum!

A lot of the smileys are missing.  Life is not worth living without my dancing banana.

My post count is the same as on the old forum.  I guess none of my posts vanished.

Looks like some more improvements have been going on.  Just postin this in iBrowse to test it out.  Looks like it's working good!
