Forum Upgrade Tonight (Sept 2)

[garygid]

If you need to shut the forum off to do the insert, just do it!

If possible, try to get up by 10 AM (or so) Friday.

If you can, save the posts since that backup. Cheers, Gary

nope I can do it while the forum is still live - I'll do it before I go to bed so it'll be up and running for tomorrow - hopefully

The posts seem to be fixed - let me know if you notice any issues with it still.

I will take at look at the polls tomorrow.

Mike,
Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
I will watch for "bugs".

Is this the same forum software and same features, just running on a faster or better "connected" machine?

It helps if I know what to look for.

Found nothing strange so far, after a few hours of use.
Thanks!!!

I do not use "view new posts" I just go in to each topic and click "first unread post" on threads highlighted as having new posts.

Several times this has taken me to the middle of threads that I have already read all the posts. So that "last post read" indicator got reset somewhere.

But that is insignificant. I just go to the end and it resets.

Thanks for getting it fixed and upgraded, wxxyz.

x3, same occasional strangeness on going to "first unread post".

Currently there is still a bug left over from the system upgrade and
restoring the missing posts to the database.

On short topics, I rarely have any problem, but on some longer
topics (many posts) it is still going to the wrong spot when
I click the "go to first unread post" link icon.

Usually it is going to a post about 20 posts too early.
