We survived week one!


Curious

So we all survived our first week on the new platform!   The transition has been smoother than I expected and the overall feedback has been quite positive.

We tested the software for about a month before we put it on the live site, but no matter how much you test it's different once you have hundreds or thousands of unique users, so we do have a few outstanding bugs that are being worked on.

* Some posts have gibberish characters in them

* Some profiles are not working properly (or at all)

* Moods is not working on Spectrum theme

* Down votes are wonky for some (most) people

* Search not bringing up all results

I'm sure I have missed something, but those are the ones that came to mind.   Profile and the search problems will be fixed once the posts with gibberish are fixed.  This was not a trivial fix and tech support is working on that issue for us.  We hope to have it resolved by the end of this week.   They are also working on the down votes issue.

We have 6 member blogs started, which I find exciting.   I can't wait to see what our members blog about.   There are already some great posts.  Cartman99 showed off her beautiful hardwood floor project and MarblesMom provides a recap of the nightly chats people have been having.  I've been able to pop into chat a couple times and it's been fun getting to know some members a bit better in real time.

I'd like to remind everyone that we have a wonderful FAQ system now (maintained by HernameisBuffy) and it's always up-to-date.  We also have a well maintained Tech Support forum, if you are having any problems.

This blog has been on hiatus since I was away from Nov, 2014-June 2015, but now that we are through the upgrade, I hope to bring it back to life.

On to week 2!

I haven't noticed anything down-voteable yet, so interested to see how that progresses!

ETA: By that I mean deserving of a down vote, not in regards to site functionality.

I'm still learning the new site, but as far as I have seen, it rocks. 

(Is it sad that the first time I got a notification of a "like" my mind went to Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech? "They like me. They really like me!")

Yes, they are all created equal!  If we all took the time to analyse the motivation behind every like we wouldn't have time to post anything to be liked in the first place.  :)

not pity likes! I actually liked your comment and could relate, but as we are not supposed to post "I agree" without commentary, I just liked/upvoted your post :D

The more I read and 'like' other posts, the more I'm getting used to the whole system. And above, I was being a bit of a smart mouth. I'm kind of prone to that. :-) Maybe I'll have to look up HerNameIsBuffy's amazing post from a bit back with her mom's dating and sex advice. I'd give that one a million 'likes' if it were allowed!

Not having much luck, other than at staying logged in.  Can't get to my profile, though I can get to others.  I get a message of EX0 (or maybe EXO).  When I click the contact button, I get the form, but no cursor. 

Can't tell for sure, but my page seems short some "things" at the top.  Negotiating around is hap hazard to say the least. . . .

 

HELP!!!!

The profile problem is a known issue and the thread in tech support is being updated by @destiny31.  

Can you start a post in tech support for the issue where you think stuff is missing from the top including a screen shot and what device/OS you are on when you get the error?

it makes everything easier for both tech support and you if people post their issues in the correct forum so they can be addressed.  Posting problems in non-tech support threads doesn't guarantee that it will be seen or followed up because we can't read every post.  

Thanks - if you post the screen shot and info in tech support I'll take a look.

Can't start any threads, I don't think.  Kind of can't "see" enough to do so--so here we go: This is what my header looks like-->keeper.thumb.PNG.93de3ae8bb7233dcff96a5f

Under the above is an ad, then this thread.

what device/OS are you on?   Can you go to the bottom of the page and click the theme link - select spectrum or default and see if you have the same problem in those themes?  Thanks.

      None of her dresses she tried on fit the modesty standards the others had to abide by in the past. I’m not surprised she found it so easily. Once you are 34, I think you know what you want. And Jana went in knowing exactly what she wanted. Jana isn’t the type to make some huge ridiculous party and show out of wedding dress shopping. They did so much stuff for the show that I assumed Jana would never do if they didn’t have a camera shoved in their face and JB dictating things.

      There’s no mention of whatever event led to her having a gown altered the day before her wedding.

      The video shows them adding the pieces to make the top part look more like the inspiration photo. Dress was from David's Bridal, a wedding dress chain for those outside the US.

      I was kind of surprised that Michelle wasn’t there. Not that I wanted to see her but she’s local and that is her daughter. 

      Also pleasantly surprised by the non-mention of modesty, meaning the Duggar’s standards, not mainstream society.  The first one had a tank top bodice with some see-through lace at the waist part so I thought that one may get a comment. I was also a little surpised at the one halter top one.  It was very fitted. But she did look great in every one. Glad she found one she wanted. Good for her for marching to her own best, even if it’s tiny steps.

      Grrr.... I waited all week for a new video from Jana and it was a stupid venue/dress video and not a fixer-upper video.  How disappointing!

      I found it interesting the JB and Michelle were not along to look at the venue, or that Michelle didn't go dress shopping.  This, combined with the tiny house, pants-wearing, college, etc. make me think Jana has possibly distanced herself from her parents quite a bit more than we may have expected and was really living life somewhat independently.

      Anyway, Jana teases they will be back soon with more house updates.  She better deliver and not give us a video of wedding cake taste testing next. ;)

      Really worrrisome that Shalom has not posted any updates.  Maybe she's just overwhelmed with their housing situation; I truly, sincerely hope there hasn't been a health crisis.
