Status of The Great Migration

Post by Fila »

Things are moving. Where I am at, it seems that propagation works at the slowest possible rate so making certain changes takes me forever. Anyway here's the deal:

Overall status of the website: Mostly broken :D

Forum: Forum itself works but some links within some posts might not be working correctly.

Downloads: Tracks broken. Trucks WORKING.

Uploads: Tracks broken. Trucks WORKING.

Right now the priority is getting the downloads and uploads working.

You have also noticed the forum looks vastly different. With the upgrade to the new server, the old forum was not compatible with the new php coding standard which meant we were forced to upgrade. Sadly the style of the old board was never updated. I am thinking of working on migrating the old style too but that is NOT a priority right now for obvious reasons. Functionality comes first. If anyone is willing to do it while I deal with the other stuff, I don't mind :)

Anyway, there's a few styles to pick from in the user preference if you guys wanna try any other ones. This one I felt it to be the closest to the original look.

Also, while I am working on the website and getting things fixed, user registration is completely disabled. The old forum had a workaround to avoid most of the spambots. That workaround does not exist in the new versions anymore. So until I have time to look into it and see what is the best way of avoiding having a gazillion spambots sign up per day, registration will for now be disabled.

Side note: Things are mostly broken for two reasons:

1. I've played around with the folder organisation which is easy fix.

2. The new php coding rules are different from the ancient one which is why things are broken. Ultimately I think this is a good thing as the code DEFINITELY needed a clean up, but it is going to take a little longer than expected.

Just about getting used to it, but looking pretty clean too.

Although, I do wish I could change my username right now, my aliases on other platforms is different to that of my current username on this forum, so I'm hoping at some stage that I can at least change it, but it still doesn't let me.

I have that disabled for now until I can deal with the forum in more detail.
