Popular Post soomp Posted May 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Dear Soompiers,Welcome to the new Soompi Forums! It took longer than expected, but we’re finally here. It was a massive effort to move (*3 cheers to the forum staff!*), but it’s a huge upgrade from where we were, and I’m so excited to be back to our original forum.Even good changes take some time to get used to, so thanks in advance for your patience through this period of transition.Given our huge amount of data (almost 20 million posts) that’s gone through many different upgrade and migration processes, there are posts that didn’t get imported in the exact same format. Chances are that 99% of these posts will never see the light of day again, but for official threads and other popular posts that got messed up, we will be providing a support request form so we can help you.Posts from our temporary forum will be merged with the proper threads in the upcoming days (the mods will be merging them one by one ^^;;;)Check out New Forum Tutorial and Tips which will be updated as needed.There are still a lot of processing being done in the background to convert all the data into the proper format that will take several weeks to complete. Thanks again for your patience!For those who care, known issues / things we’re working on are below.Let's do this!-soomp Known issues (to-be-updated as needed):Unable to send new PM's: fixedbbCode in signatures: You can fix these yourself, or they will automatically be fixed over the next week or so by the background process.Search: old content has not been indexed yet and will take several weeks, so only new posts will show up in search results.Missing avatars: We were unable to transfer Gravatars, and there were some profile photos missing from what was provided from Vanilla (sorry!)Unable to crop new avatars: The crop feature is broken, so please crop your avatar before uploading for now.Hide online status: You can set it in your Soompi profile settings hereStray HTML or bbCode in posts: It appears here and there - just edit it out if you can. If the post is too crazy, please fill out the support request form.Old URL’s not going to the right place: We are still working on thisHTML-mode disabled: HTML-mode has been disabled for security reasons, but we are looking into a "safe" mode for users Edited May 19, 2015 by soomp 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Congrats to Soomp & the whole soompi staff & mods. handling 20 MILLION posts! Kudos everyone, that was without a doubt, a no mean feat indeed!Been with the forum since 10+ years ago, this is quite frankly the most hassle-free move by soompi... at least seen by the members. Can't imagine though, the amount of non-stop effort by all Soompi personel since 2 weeks... months ago.Anyway, is there a function to edit the signature at the profile section?Also, the members' ranking info, is it up yet?Again thanks for all the good work keep it up. Soompi rocks! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Congratulations for going live on the English site! It is great to see familiar threads and posts back... and now waiting patiently for all the data to be imported, including our bookmarks and everything from the temp forum.Just a few quick questions:1. I do not see any page in the imported PM threads, which means there is no way to navigate all the messages in there. Is this an issue, or do we just need to wait until all the data is imported and synchronised before it displays correctly?2. I notice that as the messages are being loaded in the PM threads, my responses seem to be missing. Are these also being imported incrementally or is this an issue?3. Are our previous panel colours now being represented only by the group name with the same color font as our panel? Will we get to see something similar to panel colours when we post in future?
