Arvee Club Moved to new server

[dno]

I am in the process of moving Arveeclub.com to a new server, at the same time I'm upgrading to the most recent version of the forum software so things will look a little bit different but hopefully mostly the same.
 
Since it takes some time for the domain name to propagate I have also put the forum software on popuptims.com so I can shift traffic away from the old server while the arvee club domain name is in the propagation process. Hopefully this process won't take more than 24 hours.
 
There are some template issues I still need to deal with and I will try to get those issues resolved as soon as possible.
 
I'm afraid due to the time it takes to download all the data, convert it and reupload it we have lost many of the posts over the past 24 hours... not to mention my internet service was disrupted from about 3:30-8:15 while I was in the process of uploading files to the popuptimes.com server.

I noticed that the polls no longer tell you who voted for which choice.  you used to get a list.  

Also the font color option doesn't have a drop down, and when you click it defaults to black.

Are these things that will come back in time??

I've noticed a few problems myself. I hope I can get everything back to working the way it should. I'm going through the new administrative features trying to figure out how the new stuff is setup and where to make what change to get things back to working correctly.

Sorry dkutz, It looked like your post was posted twice and I tried to remove one and it took both out, but yes it does look like a fun memorial day weekend. :-)

[dkutz]

its cool, just so you don't think your crazy.  I did post twice, and I deleted one, leaving one for you to delete.  No big deal...

[dno]

Too funny, I didn't notice that the first one was deleted by you. Thanks I feel better now :-()

I've been browsing around yesterday and today and was able to change (add) a generic avatar to my signature.  My only question now is; is the new server totally up yet, or is it going to be another day or so before the kinks are worked out?  I know how switching to new versions of the same software can be challenging  :compumad: and time consuming.  I am assuming (I know, gotta be careful on that one!!!) that administrator will let us know when everything is running on all cylinders.  So far, I like what I see.  Good job!!  :!

It's difficult to say how long everything will take to get fully resolved as I'm not super familiar with the software so at the same time I'm trying to get up to speed myself.
 
Starting from the version we had before, it took severl steps for the conversion, perhaps as many as 100 and as few as 50 there were alot, I didn't bother counting. I did noticet the biggest change seemed to be at version 3.6. I'm sure as we go we will get it all figured out.

I am hoping that you made a backup of the posts before you made this transitions. My first post in the Smithwoods RV Rally post under the SCCampers Club Forum which includes the list of all reservations is missing 90% of the original post. When you get it back I will make a copy, but help. I needed to make some updates and I can't.
 
Is there a backup of that first post that you can send me?

Well it looks like I have good data on my local server so there must have been some corruption on the upload to the live server. I did copy and past your content from my local server to your thread... see if it looks good to you now.

[boncrab]

Yes, thank you very much.. that would have been a lot to reconstruct.

I'm sure it would, that was fairly extensive.
