We survived week one!
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!
