Sitting on the bus.

Mobile website looks fine.

Nice to be back.

Good luck with the rest.

Where is "my content"

[Tech Doctor]

As all the indexes are rebuilding it will take time for all your content to be re-linked.

[Eclipse]

Totally unusable. Almost impossible to connect.

 

Don't know why you did not leave things alone. these downgrades never go well.

Never have done.

Fatal error messages. I am sure you know this already though.

[Tech Doctor]

Yes running the extra indexing scripts is causing outages, we will pause them until late at night for now.

[thaibeachlovers]

I agree with Eclipse. It just doesn't work very well, and when I tried to post something on a different forum it didn't work, despite taking waaaaaaay longer to process before telling me there was a fatal error.

What is this obsession with "upgrading" when the "upgrade" is usually just confusing and doesn't work any better ( and in this case worse ) than before. Lonely Planet forum did an "upgrade" and their Thailand site lost loads of users from which it never recovered.

Not writing any more as this may not post and don't want to waste even more time.

Keep up the good work, Tech Doc.

Try not to drink too much coffee  

I know what's it's like to work all weekend, no sleep, and then Monday, Tuesday, Wed..... 

 

[thaibeachlovers]

Ah, I see it did work as it was supposed to. Will wait now to see if it continues to do so before posting again

[Tech Doctor]

As unfortunately we were a forum without support, so when all the errors and security concerns have started to arise we could not do anything about them. Our service provider insisted we upgraded as we were well behind in software versions.

"Replies" seems to be tuned off in some threads in the news forum.

Believe me I don't want to do them too often,,,,,

If I "like" your post, what happens to your "likes" count? 

Will it go back to zero?

As he said keep the comments constructive or don't bother. Refraining from posting if you have nothing to add is actually ideal at this point.

Nope, it will reset to infinity...

Oh dear, going from working perfectly to zero connectivity within 10 minutes, and there definitely are news threads without a reply capability, which might explain why so many have no activity.

[thaibeachlovers]

Seems to be a double posting problem. I only clicked to post once and it double posted.

Working great offshore Malaysia on a ships vsat system with the ISP in Dubai and servers based in Norway. Includes a final wi-fi 'step' to my stateroom onboard.

Good job chaps!

[anotheruser]

He is obviously working out bugs. Oh dear calm down while they smooth things out. I like already you can see reps in the name. Give them a bit of time as was said this is a needed upgrade.

My thoughts exactly.

It's going to be a couple of weeks before all the bugs are fixed, and today - the first day it's back up - there will be all sorts of problems.

So if you don't like it today, come back tomorrow.

I notice that there is Thai script in the date information above each post. I thought this was an English language forum. Please rectify that.

If we can't reply to the news threads there is little point in coming on here. I know you are working on it, but sooner than later would be appreciated.

[anotheruser]

The new alerts also for when you just quoted my post are really slick. Also load times have just got much faster in my end in Bangkok. I don't like the look but that is a common thing anytime a forum changes. If they could add a merge posts feature I would love it.

Just using the site more load times seem to be much quicker for me now than the old site was. I think this is going to be quite a nice upgrade in the long run. 

 

Okay load speeds are sporadic which is to be expected but when it is loading properly it is lightning fast.

just adding more thoughts.

Christ almighty I would hate to work for you. Why don't you just chill? You aren't paying him to do this, the site is free and there is a world outside you can enjoy for a little while. You said you wouldn't bother posting earlier, why not put this strategy into practice for awhile?

[tx22cb]

Teething issues around a major upgrade - very understandable.

Security - hope our personal details are going to be safer-than-ever and kept from the nosey eyes of various Govts and hackers.

Good luck.

[tx22cb]

Oh, just noticed that there is a green circle next to my username in my post.

What does this green circle signify? Are there other colours and/or shapes?

[anotheruser]

Green circle means you are online I think.

... I thought it meant, this user recycles their posts adequately.

If I install Tapatalk for Android will it help speed up the upgrade at my end.
