The new version seems to work like this board used to in one regard.

When you click on the new post icon, it takes you directly to the oldest unread post in that topic rather than to the top of the page it is on, as this version now does.

So Chantilly Cat is nearly ready to make the beta site the real site. We'll hopefully do that during this lull between today and the Temple game. This may mean DCats will be down for a few hours. Thanks in advance for your patience!

Sunday morning is the current target, probably around sunrise EST.

Briefly...
  • Appearance will be different
  • Functionality will be roughly the same, with some enhancements
  • Data will be copied from this site to the new site
If you have questions about gory details, PM me. Or, at the risk boring people, post them here.

I will keep y'all advised.

Will your cavalier cat and my haiku sign make the transition?

(I realize that I have already caused more trouble than I'm worth by the Greek sig.)

They will. And they will be smaller, at least at first. Making the avatars a bit larger is still a low priority thread.

They don't really need to be.

In the computer biz, I learned a long time ago:

Every time you do a demo, an upgrade or an enhancement, something will go wrong.

There are three main things to do to get through it:

1. Have backups
2. Keep shoveling until it works (Or see # 1 above)
3. Have backups for your backups

(Chantilly is a bit of a pro, and I'm not worried.)

Still planning on tomorrow morning.

There are some posts that aren't going to make it over right away, due to character set issues. A few dozen. I know how to detect them, and I'll move them after the new site is up.

Also some PMs, more than a few dozen. It will take longer, but I'll move them, too, and without invasion of privacy.

I agree that we have some characters on this board, but I would have thought only 2 or 3 presented real issues, and even those should be allowed to stay on the new iteration.
