Popular Post Eclipse Posted August 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Totally unusable. Almost impossible to connect. Don't know why you did not leave things alone. these downgrades never go well. Never have done. Edited August 1, 2016 by Eclipse 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Fatal error messages. I am sure you know this already though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Doctor Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yes running the extra indexing scripts is causing outages, we will pause them until late at night for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tech Doctor Posted August 1, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2016 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Seems to be a double posting problem. I only clicked to post once and it double posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotheruser Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited August 1, 2016 by anotheruser just adding more thoughts.

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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx22cb Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
