Hey All,
So assuming that nothing happens in real life, the switch should begin on February 19 (no exact hour yet).
Here are a few things to note:
As usual if you have any questions/feedback/concerns please post below !
So assuming that nothing happens in real life, the switch should begin on February 19 (no exact hour yet).
Here are a few things to note:
- Unlike the august update, your existing RP Urls WILL correctly redirect to the proper format for the upcoming forum software. No need to have to hunt for your content after the switch due to URLs changing.
- BBCode library will be up and fully functional with a couple of new ones.
- Followers will not transfer over.
- We will still have a color me and a dark style (with color me functionality!) and a default style.
- The site will be insanely faster, thank the dark gods.
- Post Ratings are a go! (different likes)
- The site will only be offline for 2-4 days this time around. This is all mostly due to how fast the import process can transfer all of the site's content into a new platform.
- As mentioned in the previous announcement, make sure that to save all your blog content if you were one of the few to use that.
- If you use the book marks feature located here: https://www.rpnation.com/bookmarks/ please make sure to save your bookmarks, we will obviously have a bookmarks functionality but the addon can't import to the other addon. You'll easily find all your bookmarked content again by keeping the URL and just pasting it in your browser, as explained in the first point. At which point you'll be able to bookmark it again using the site's functionality.
- Sometime before the 19th all inactive HPs should be archived. Active HPs will have a disruption in terms of all the cool functionality. Your HP will become a forum with all your threads in inside of it and subforums. Just like the good old days. Once we are on the new software you can recreate your roles and other neat stuff again.
- Posts that use HTML will look scary until cleaned up after the move. Make note! PS: BBCode Posts look gorgeous again
- If you sign in with twitter/facebook you might need to reset your password using the forgotten link and reestablish connection with those services after the move.
- No Threads/Users/Posts/Content will be lost as usual with these imports across software.
