Site Migration - Thread Migration, Thread Locking and 'The end of this site' PLEASE ALL READ
|
|
As you'll have seen we're working hard to get WHO on a new platform with better technology under the hood, but without losing the things that make WHO what it is (rightly or wrongly!).
Many of you have now accessed the new site successfully. Many of you are yet to do so (please do as soon as you can to make our lives a bit easier...just WHOMail Stubbo if you're not sure how).
The next step in making the move, is moving over as many existing threads as we can (~30 pages of threads is the plan).
This will happen in the following way:
1. We'll take a copy of the thread content/posts from the old site.
2. We'll lock the thread on the old site (so no new posts are added)
3. We'll load the thread to the new site (within around 24 hours typically...hopefully quicker)
4. Any duplicate threads (that exist on the old and the new) will get merged so the full discussion remains.
Once all current threads have been set to locked, that will signify the completed content migration. New threads on the old site will get locked straight away (with directions to raise on the new site).
The old site will remain available while people are still sorting out their access (so to be able to WHOMail Stubbo or Wils) until 30th September. At this point the access to the old site will cease, and any existing users not already moved across will need to register a new login at the new site.
If there's any questions about any of this let us know in this thread below and we'll look to answer them as soon as we can.

Stubbo 5:56 Thu Sep 5
Stubbo, my wording is maybe a bit astray, the new site is easy enough to navigate and "get to grips with" Think as i posted the other day, it's like getting new car after so long with an old banger, just takes bit of getting used to, it's just a feeling more than anything if that makes sense.
The new website is an improvement and i appreciate all the work and effort that's been put in to keeping it as close as possible to the original, but i understand what Manuel says when he says it's not the same, as it isn't! Pretty close but FWIW it's just a matter of time in adjusting, hopefully!!!

Fucking hell Sydney the answer to your question is above your question :-)
The old site will remain available while people are still sorting out their access (so to be able to WHOMail Stubbo or Wils) until 30th September. At this point the access to the old site will cease, and any existing users not already moved across will need to register a new login at the new site
Then the new site will become. . net that was the plan..

Fucking hell, stuck my head in and see this site is still limping on? In true WHO fashion it just won't give up LOL.
Seriously though, what happens next this site just gets switched off at some point or will it linger on like a satellite that's gone past its use by date until it crashes back to earth (or the bill isn't paid), seems weird you can still post here if everything is supposed to be locked.
TBH, im having problems getting to grips with the new site and can understand where Manuel is coming from, it aint the same! sorry to all oved it, appreciate your work and all that, maybe in time though?
After 20 odd years, the new site was always going to take time to adjust to, its also an international break so would have been quieter on here anyway, mind you a few arguments and the usual suspects busy cunting each other on the new site so for some its business as usual. LOL
Havant seen Coffee though. Has he pulled the plug, even the Saturday football thread i ended up doing, get out of bed you lazy git!.

Yea ok, boss. Hopefully some of them 188 will put some posts up soon. I don't like the layout and it's nothing like on here. I couldn't give a fuck if you don't like my opinion. Sick of this treading on eggs shells shit, suppose it's a sign of the times with nobody wanting to offend anyone, even on here these days.
Tell you what, I'll make this my last say on the matter since it upsets you and time will be the judge, but IMO it's not a good start with hardly anyone posting over there.

Re: Site Migration - Thread Migration, Thread Locking and 'The end of this site' PLEASE ALL READ
There is nobody over there, not even the likes of Pickle and Oxsaw, don't say I never warned you cunts. It's also a cunt to navigate and I get sore eyes just looking at it, and all the nerdy, bent attachments/graphics etc don't help either.
Mind you, let's not rewrite history here, WHO has been on its arse for sometime now, plus it's the dreaded international break. Hopefully it will improve for those who do wish to bat on. Tick tock."
What are you on about? 188 people logged into the site yesterday including Pickle and Oxsaw.
We've paired back the visuals...less colours, more whites, and it's now very much similar to this site. For those who dont like seeing the 'Nerdy, bent attachments/graphics' you can turn them off (post over there and I'll tell you how).
It's an improving moveable feast. The difference it it's a platform we can improve and refine as we go.
Easy to snipe form the back benches I guess. And as you say, WHO has been declining (alongside it's platfrom) for a while...with it not helping it's been such an impossible task to use effectively. At least with a functioning site we can look to entice more users in.
Hopefully the replatform will help...it's the same underlying software KUMB use (all be it with less restrictions and with WHO principles of content acceptance) and they don't seem to have been constrained by the technology in growing their user base.

So on the new site, virtually all of the threads are locked.
Is this intentional?
Will it change?
Is it just me?
Are those my feet etc et...
