Xen Foro tips and tricks

[DavidOck]

Fully understand what "You're" saying here, however there are many of "Us" here that DO CARE ENOUGH and HELP OUT (and are even willing to continue to do so) who are not/no longer supporting members for personal reasons (including financial) . . . So being able to "purchase" a "Supporting Member Decal" doesn't necessarily say "You" actually care to participate Or help others on ECF . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Hence my note "(and have the where-with-all)"

Fully aware that not everyone can, and that there are also other reasons. And actually, if the advice is from a post count of 22K and no decal or a post count of 5 and a decal, I think I'll pay attention to the former

 

[spartanstew]

sure would be nice - i always thought the line 'supporting member' under my ecf forum name would suffice

I'd prefer to get rid of that too.

Keep this up and we're going to load the postbit with so many titles there'll be no room for avatars.

Well then . . . Can "We" make request . . .

If so, instead of "Double Guru", I would really like to get "My" - "That's Mr Fluff" back . . .

that'll be 24 bucks, uncle


all joking aside, this will be a tremendous undertaking and the crew deserves our support and well-wishes!

 

[DavidOck]

Will ECF go "dark" at any time during the transition? (I mean on purpose )

 

[retired1]

Yep. Plan on 24 hours of down time. We hope to have it all finished long before that, but we have to plan for the unexpected. We're definitely not going to say it's just for a few hours as the actual database import will take several hours to do.

Then we have to go through and make sure all the permissions are good before we turn things back on and turn you guys loose.

So.. When the announcement hits, expect the site to be completely down for 24 hours. We do hope to have it back before then, however.

OH - I KNOW ! ! ! It is going to be an undertaking of great magnatude to say the least. . . AND - That is why I have been posting a link to these threads to let people know that don't know yet . . .

More Importantly -To be prefectly honest, given the forth right way in which this is being handled and done this time (especially given what's happened previously) I am on the same page as "You" are and WISHING THE ECF ADMINISTRATION & MODERATORS THE VERY BEST OF LUCK going foward in this endevor . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Believe me, I will be biting my nails waiting for the site to come back to life, just like everyone else.
It is so exciting yet scary! I can't wait till everything is up and running yet scared if something is not quite right. I know if something isn't working just right, it will get fixed. I will learn things that are different from what I've been doing them.

Hey! Think of it as an exercise in keeping the mind young

 

[rocketman29]

Thank you so much, retired1. This is bound to become one very popular thread!

I saw the multiquote demonstration and thought to myself, Katdarling will like this

Having been involved with several huge software installation /update/conversions in the past, I have a good idea of the planning, testing, and hard work that goes into a project of this size. I know there will be glitches, goes with the territory, but with the communication already going on, I am sure it will go as smoothly as possible. I am trying to spread the word also to my subscribed threads so people can be aware and patient. Good luck to everyone on the team!

Noooooo, I don't know if I can stand 24 hours without ECF.








Just kidding, I might could spend time with the DW during ECF downtime.

Wouldn't it be a shock if there was a sharp rise in divorce rates during the downtime?

 

[Robino1]

Or babies born with ECFdowntime as their middle name

tell us again how long you expect to be down!

 

[tchavei]

I managed to survive 5 days... 24h aren't bad...

So basically when lights go out on Tapatalk, we should start monitoring the forum through the Web browser only?

Can there be periodic updates on facebook?

No promises (as we'll be pretty busy during this), but we'll try to remember to post an update or two or three to Facebook and Twitter.
