See, told you we'd do it!
Known Issues
While the contents have been transferred it needs to be rebuilt and reindexed. A lot of this has already happened, but some of it (particularly posts) may take a few days (from what I recall of a test we did a while ago it took about 2 days). You shouldn't notice many issues and should be able to continue posting without a problem, but just be wary if things seem a bit odd that may be why.
The rebuild will also fix the custom codes (such as colour, center, font size etc) so at the moment they're not working.
The Twitter tag currently isn't working. It looks like we might have to manually convert these and if we do we'll just do it for 'recent' posts (no defined timeframe at the moment).
The old emoticon used a space in vBulletin, but this software won't allow it so old uses won't work here (although obviously you can use it as I have done, it is just the only old emoticon that won't work in old posts that have been transferred). Again, we'll see what we can do with that but having to wait for all the reindexing to take place before we can assess the impact.
Avatars and signatures are still being transferred over so don't worry if yours isn't available yet.
A lot of links on the homepage, as well as forum listings, aren't working. They were when we tested earlier and we assume its while the rebuild is going on, but we've put in a support request.
Things not being transferred
We have decided not to transfer attachments because we didn't use them much anyway and they take up space on the server.
Themes
We have just two themes now - a default one and a Switch one. I know before we had a number of character-based ones but we know they weren't used much. We may do colour variances (which is what the Switch one essentially is), but if you guys have any pressing desire for certain ones let us know. They may change ever so slightly when we find new things/sections that we hadn't seen before and haven't put a matching colour on.
To change the theme use the drop down at the very bottom of each page.
New Features
We are still getting to grips with this new software and obviously by and large trying to replicate what we currently had, however I have started taking advantage of the calendar feature to create a Nintendo Release Dates Calendar. You should be able to view and 'RSVP' to these events and also review them (in this case it would be a review of the game obviously). The future plan is to allow users to add events themselves but have them moderated.
Calendar (discussed above)
Profiles have cover photos now so feel free to upload one.
User tagging is now dynamic (start typing the name and a list is displayed)
Polls can now have up to five questions with 20 options (we can change this limit if there's a call for it)
Once the dust has settled we'll start looking at exciting new things.
Any questions or concerns pop them here.
