Moving Day

Discuss the announcement. You can find it here.

Don't cock it up.

I'll be whatever I wanna do.

I can smell the patchouli and desperation from here.

Be very careful that, when you click the "Generate Backup" button to generate a backup, it is not actually the "Dump Database" button in disguise.

Nice work Baron VonWalz!

The buttons aren't labelled. We don't actually know which one to push, and plan to flip a coin.

I know one thing that is great about being a civilian, and I hope for your sakes it's different with the new software.

It's nice to not have an Edit button right next to the Quote button.

So humiliating ruining other people's posts instead of quoting them.

Don't lose my goddamned Blue Room thread, Nick. For at least 5 years I've been going "you know, I really ought to copy all this stuff offline. If I ever want to write a biography there's some good stuff here."

Of course I've never actually gotten around to doing it.

On that vein, if Dayton's thread gets "lost," I doubt anyone would hold it against you.

So you are saying I should delete it and save you the delusions of grandeur.

Do it now you lazy sot.

Edit:

Probably the quickest way:

Thread Tools --> Show Printable Version --> Copy/Paste into a text file

I'm pretty sure that one and Volpone's were both marked for deletion. Something about database corruption and records specific to those threads.

I'm converting all of his blog posts to Arabic.

Damage control is easy. Reading Klingon? That's hard.

Can this be done Monday night, since we'll probably have a big discussion in the Breaking Bad thread after the last episode?

Sorry, but the timing is centered around what's convenient for me, and Sunday's are my least busy day of work.

Now I'm sad.

Never mind.

So assuming that DNS servers will take a while to correctly point to the new wordforge.net, is there an address we can use to get directly to it once it's up?

testingforge.net will still work.

go into the thread, click thread tools - print version, save as simple html. done in about 5 seconds

there is a backup thread option somewhere that should give you a. zip but i can't find it right now.

Okay, how do I link my avatar with the site where it's stored? I've tried to link to it, but it seems the new stuff only wants me to use something on my computer.

Just rightclick>save your AV and upload it with the new software.

Will Tapatalk still work?

There is an extension add-on for XF, but deciding to use it is up to the big guys.

Yes, but probably not the first day or two. I plan to install it, but I want to wait until we know all the data migrated properly, etc. I don't want to get in the place of installing add-ons, only to find that we have to blow things up to re-do the migration. Probably by Wednesday, definitely on the early to-do list.

It's more fun to bitch at Nick.
