george Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We will be doing a major forum upgrade from approximately 11pm (23:00) Bangkok time on September the 23rd to 4am on the 24th. The forum will be unavailable during this time, all other services will remain operational during this time, but some response time issues may be experienced during the upgrade. Sorry for any inconvenience, we hope the ride won't be too bumpy. But the good news is that forum functions and response times will be significantly improved by this upgrade. /Thaivisa Admin team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wow, good news! I do love TV but it is starting to look a bit outdated. I hope everything goes well. Thanks in advance to all TV staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GungaDin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is that why Classifieds are not working, already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Is that why Classifieds are not working, already? We have currently no issues with the classifieds site. Are you getting any error message? A bit more details please. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It seems to have been reverted to before the upgrade - it was not working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopburi99 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It seems to have been reverted to before the upgrade - it was not working well. An understatement. When a major upgrade has problems like that, it is a big-time nightmare for the systems guys. Been there done that. Good luck next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 From the quick look I had at the new version, it appeared that "My Assistant" was not a feature anymore. I hope we don't lose that as it is quite handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipvice Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) we are back on the old system Right? The last time I checked about 2 hours ago it was the new system. Oh OK the new system was not working the way it should,I should read more before I post Edited September 24, 2009 by skipvice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopburi99 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 From a user standpoint, this is a major redesign. Users usually expect upgrades, even major ones, to be mostly behind the scenes technical stuff and transparent, with maybe some new features, etc. I'm not complaining. Just giving some feedback.

chiliwasabi Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I hope it was just a case of bugs and me being in an unfamiliar environment but the upgrade was horrible. Slow, ugly and confusing. Don't get me wrong, I think change and improvement are a good thing, but I was just relieved to come back now and find the old familiar forum back in place.

chiliwasabi Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I just noticed my avatar has disappeared?!? A casualty of the upgrade (and downgrade) perhaps?

britmaveric Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Shame - liked the new look. Hopefully it will be sorted and we can go back sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmlb Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Due to a problem experienced with the consistency of the database after the conversion was done by the US company who was engaged perform the part of the upgrade, we have had to revert to the previous version and will inform everybody when the upgrade is ready to proceed again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the roll back to the previous version. Rgds Bazmlb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) Forum was acting very strange after the upgrade. I kept getting signed in as other members. And I found a post that I did not do, which was since deleted. I reported it here but my posts immediately disappeared! Maybe victims of the upgrade attempt. Once I was able to sign in as myself again, I PMed and emailed george and support but thus far have had no acknowledgment they got my messages about the problems I was having. I'm sure they were very busy, but disappointing that they can't acknowledge whether they are aware of the specific problems I was having, considering the fact that I was able to read 3 other members PM's for several minutes. If this post disappears as well then I know they are deleting them. Edited September 24, 2009 by Scubabuddha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP25 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I kept getting signed in as other members. Same here. Didn't like the new look at all, there was waaaaaay too much wasted space. Very inefficient design. The main forum index was particularly hideous, an obnoxious side bar took up 1/3 of the screen. I hope if they change to a new design again it will be one that feels less bloaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joskydive Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Glad it's back to the old style. The new style/upgrade was an exact copy of Pattaya Addicts Forum so don't know why the guys had technical problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eek Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Glad to see the old style back. For me its more user-friendly and easy to navigate. Thats not just because im used to this one, i use other style forums also. Upgrading elements would be great, but for me such a dramatic change was hard to digest. But, appreciate the work that went into looking into new improvements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
