ANNOUNCEMENT: Forum software change coming - XenForo

Oh. Boy.

Screen grab from my iPhone of the new forum setup, a test post:
1) made entirely from my iPhone
2) with two pictures uploaded to the post selected/uploaded at the same time from the standard iOS photo dialog (like tapatalk did and Facebook, Twitter, etc do)
3) AND both photos were taken with the iPhone in the normal camera app and I had the home button on the left for one and on the right for the other

Will see if I can get things set up sufficiently to send out an email to our conversion supporters with login info tonight :fingerscrossed:
 
Ok, due to some kind of issue with the back end of the forum that I have no interest in looking into (for obvious reasons), I had to use the email addresses off of the PayPal receipts to send out the details on logging into the test server. Please check that email account for the information.

THERE IS A SPECIFIC THREAD I STARTED ON THE TEST SERVER FOR REPORTING ISSUES/BUGS, A LINK IS IN THE EMAIL YOU RECEIVED. DO NOT POST ANYTHING HERE ABOUT QUESTIONS OR ISSUES WITH THE NEW SOFTWARE AND PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTS ABOUT ISSUES IN THAT ONE THREAD.

If for some reason you can't get onto the test server initially, you can post about that here or PM me.

If you didn't receive the email and want to help and you paid to support the upgrade, you can mention that here or PM me.

Thanks again to all of those who helped us financially with this transition!

So excited about my early testing on both computer and mobile :smokin:
 
One more note: You have to go to the main forum link in the email and log in before you can go to the Test Posting thread with the photo posting information. Otherwise you'll get an "unable to access" error.
 
Can you pm me info please. I can not figure out how to check my original paypal email. Thanks
 
Google decided that Eric's email belonged in the spam folder, so be sure to check there if you can't find the email from him.
 
Update: we have testers playing with the new "test" forum and are tweaking things to make the forum work as well as we can have it before we unleash it on everyone.

Tons of awesome improvements over what we have had to deal with in vBulletin and while it will take a little getting used to, it's definitely a massive positive change. :bacon:
 
Still making progress. We're getting there!

When the time does come to move over to the new software there will be a number of hours during which the forum will be completely down.

Important notes:

1) We are saving full backups of THIS VERSION of the forum just in case that will be current to the moment that we pull the forum down for the changeover.

2) We will have a robust backup setup for the new server.

3) All current paid memberships will carry over to the new forum. Free users should read this thread:

Donation made. Looking forward to the upgrade.
 
Sorry for the lack of info, I've been out of town dealing with a family emergency, so please forgive the delayed update.

The test forum has been updated to the current version of the software and is looking great. Lots of awesome feedback. We will be looking to make the switch soon.
 
Whoohoo every time I come back to this version I like the new one even more :bacon:
 
A non-update. All I can do is apologize for the delay. Working to figure out how quickly we can move the new software live.
 
Ok! We will be moving to the new forum software Monday and Tuesday this week May 14-15, which means the forum will be completely offline in order to have the new forum be 100% current. All existing content will be moved over and your login/password and membership status/dates will carry over.

We are hoping for minimal downtime but doing it in the best possible way is most important. That said, there WILL be tweaking that will be needed an inevitably there will be issues when the forum is back up, it's simply not possible to catch every single thing. I will start a bug/issue thread that I ask you to keep all comments/reporting on so that we can track things as we move forward with making it as great as possible.

As with any change, there will be differences and not everyone will like everything, that simply can't be helped. Overall, the feedback from our testers has been very positive and we're psyched to make this happen :bacon:

Thanks for your patience in getting here and thanks in advance for your patience and understanding with the conversion and new software. In the long run, this is truly the best possible situation for the health of the forum.
 
This is awesome. I've been trying to get back here, as I miss this group. I hope this is all that and a bag of chips, as it were!! 😂😂😂
 
Fingers crossed! :thumbsup:

I'm not sure how I'll survive two days without this place.... :shrug:

Cheers! :cheers:
