[jobarules]

All this important work to be done and theres still time for them to delete the post about getting my old username back

 

[shuke]

Guys, sorry for the delay.  Transfer of my PMs is taking a while.  Please be patient.

The old forum host told us they'd have the forum taken down at 9:00 AM ET. 

Still up at 11:07. 

Makes sense.

Did you contact customer support? 
 

 I know…too soon….couldn’t resist.

Being owned by the forum host once again...

Them:  "Hey, any ideas how to drive up forum traffic?  You get a bonus if it spikes on August 1st"

"I have an idea....."

I'm not cool enough for that. 

 

[E Street Brat]

I honestly was baffled. It was almost funny. I'd been frustrated with the platform for a while so it's not like I was thinking of changing. But to be fired like that was one of the oddest things I've ever seen in business. 

Did they tell ya  "Have a good season, guy"

 

[nirad3]

Oh man.  Today's gonna suck at the office.  Guess I'll actually get some work done.  Fortunately we went back to 2x a week at the office so hopefully things'll be up by Thursday (crosses fingers).

This doesn't stop you from setting up the new forum does it?  Maybe they'll forget to turn off the switch and it will just be a seamless transition?

Such a power move.

Maybe the owner of Invision caught wind of Customer Service's decision and ran in this morning shouting:

" YOU TOLD THEM WHAT????"

The new Test Forum is awesome

I envision Iggy slowly walking to the wall plug and reaching his hand toward it...

 

[Cjw_55106]

Welcome back!

 

[snore]

Yes!

 

[nirad3]

Whew, I was going crazy there for a couple days. Welcome back, friends!

 

[Doug B]

Wow, I timed it pretty well. I saw that Maurile has posted in the Wordle thread over the last few days and figured I missed three days or so. Guess he was sandboxing before the doors were officially open.

 

[Doug B]

I know small fixes are still ongoing, but in case it slipped under the radar: The 'Our Forums' link up top -- when clicked, it sends you to the 'We'll be back as soon as possible" message.

EDIT: The 'Forums' link does the same thing.

 

[Doug B]

Glad to have colored text back (previously, it was a browser-dependent feature).

 

[drunken slob]

Thanks, @Joe Bryant

 

[Doug B]

Some random links here and there are broken (e.g. the links at the top the FFA and Political forums that point to each other). Small things to be worked out.

 

[Foosball God]

First?

 

[pollardsvision]

Getting fired was apparently a good thing. This forum looks much nicer than the old one.

 

[Foosball God]

How do you get to the first new unread message of a thread?

Best I can tell, I think you just click on the thread title.

 

[Doug B]

Pretty amazing how fast spambots have found this new forum. None in this thread yet, but the last two posts in the FFA's COVID thread were spam CIalis ad links (reported both to get them on the radar).

 

[Chris B.]

I used to help FBGs post for the "cycle" by giving what every emoji they needed to get all 6. Can't do that no mo.

Thanks, man -- I got the ones in the main Forum Index but missed them in the Forum Headers. They're good to go now.

All good. Looking sharp so far, and I know the clay is still wet.

...

Did y'all catch the broken links up in the "Home > Forums > Our Forums" bar at the top? The Forums link at the top Footballguys.com's "Join Now" splash page is also broken -- though I wasn't sure if that was still intentional this early on. EDIT: To be clear ...all the links mentioned in this paragraph go to the Site Maintenance page ... they're not "broken' per se. They just don't link to where they used to.

 

[flapgreen]

Thanks, Joe. Looks good

Yes -- I hit that once, too and it cleared up the next time I checked on it. I think DNS caching is causing some of those random flashbacks.

I coulda had a V-8!

Clicked on 'Our Forums', saw the Site Maintenance page pop-up ... then refreshed the browser window. All is now good.

It’s not Wednesday

I have noticed that some members' avatars didn't import properly. I sent that up to the mothership for investigation.

There are so many caches now between users and their data it's a wonder that anything ever updates.

Feel like this will be a dumb question but is there something you can click on with each thread to take you to the first unread post? Thanks!
