Welcome to our new home!

[Bryan]

We've done it! Mostly. We've moved into our new home. With some issues... but welcome!

We'll be working to get everything set as best possible and work to resolve know issues.

Please share any issues you find.


Current List Being Addressed

• Search feature - being reindexd
• Blogs and Article solution isn't finalized.
• Embedding of some of the specialty video sites isn't working.
• Front landing page is TBD - there are a few options.
• Finalize the list of options for reactions. I like what's there, maybe we add to the list.
• imgur.com are not displaying [ClaytonB]

Feature Backlog

• Not a must have but a nice-to-have is "Go to Last Post" which takes you to the bottom of the last page instead of the top. [Intrepid]

Issues that we're not able to address

• Some tables didn't port over (some did) - so they're just a mess of [TD] etc. We'll have to manual update what's important.
• All past reputations are now public. In a good way, the data was ported over, but they prior were semi-private (for no particular reason).

Now Resolved:

• Missing site information (guidelines, etc)
• Smilies to be fixed... but now very expended too.
• change the color of sticky threads [jct74]
• date joined on posts [sam1952]
• Some linking issues with hard-coded tags in various descriptions
• URGENT: Favicon missing [TheTexan]
• Can't edit posts [Swordsmyth]

If there was a way to change the color of sticky threads I think that would make it a lot easier to distinguish them from non-sticky threads. Other than that everything is looking good so far and seems to be working good. There are definitely some new features to this software that I think people will like.

 

[Bryan]

Good one, I'll check on that...

 

[axiomata]

Nice work. Another old forum I was a part of made the switch from vB to this software a few years ago. Good choice.

 

[TheTexan]

Wooooh!

 

[axiomata]

Only Bryan can give ?

Good catch. Now half fixed, still an odd issue.

FYI - I've gotten this message a few times every half hour or so, which lasts for like 10 minutes maybe, then the site goes back to working again.

Page could not be loaded
The requested page could not be loaded.

[jct74]

Maybe it's because I had my adblocker on, as the text says. I turned it off and will let you know if I get the message again.

 

[jct74]

Yeah I'm still getting that message but it seems to mostly occur when I close my Google Chrome browser and open it back up, although not always. Am also getting some weird stuff when I try to access the site in my Google Chrome Beta browser, which I use for my Matt123 test account. Sometimes the site is not accessible (I get a blank page), sometimes it is accessible, and sometimes I get the old site with a message about moving to the new site.

At this time, I can't edit posts.
I can't search the forum.

Same, I can't figure out how to edit posts.

Thanks for getting the site back online!

Are we not able to edit posts? I can't find an edit button...

I DID receive a notification from your reply...

Another problem is that links to RPF that were posted before the conversion now get a not found message...

 

[sam1952]

Nice to see this up and working. Just now got in and exploring.small item but miss seeing the date joined. Good job guys!

 

[TheTexan]

We back baby

 

[spudea]

Is it possible to redirect the 404 address http://www.ronpaulforums.com/forumdisplay.php?23-U-S-Political-News

I thought the forum was dead forever since that was used for my bookmark. Other users might not know the site is back up.

 

[asurfaholic]

Loving it! I can tell it’s having much better performance on my end.

I got so many darn trophies when I logged in. I needed that in my life.

Keep me posted. Some of this could be from multiple accounts, and multiple tabs. Not sure I can change it, it may be a platform issue.

Yep, it was series of compounding disasters, one after another. Fix after fix didn't work. Long story...

Edit and search should work now... Search is in top right. Thanks!

This was suppose to be migrated correctly, but unfortunately, there are problems. Hoping this can get fixed without reimporting... Thanks.
