lesley Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I imagine everyone has noticed that we launched a new forum over night. We should have most things transferred over. One thing that did not / will not make it is personal messages. Since there was no automatic way to migrate the forums, we had to do everything by hand. Because of privacy we did not even attempt to migrate the messages. If you notice any bugs, which there are a few still, please let us know by replying to this thread. 2
datakick Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Url structure has changed, which means all inbound links, bookmarks, etc wont work anymore. SEO nightmare. For example, topic urls changed from forum.thirtybees.com/topic/id/friendly-url to forum.thirtybees.com/topic/id-id/friendly-url Edited January 13, 2019 by datakick 1
lesley Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Yeah, I am going to have to start writing redirects over the next few days. I am trying to figure out how to get posts to be auto followed right now.
AndyC Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Yikes bit of a shock when signing in today ....Forgot about the change ....Looking good though
DRMasterChief Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) OK, think we have to get used to it. One thing... can you please make the font in #000000 Color Hex Black as standard (it is very hard to read on desktop and also most mobiles). Then it will also fit better to the thirtybees logo 🙂 Thank you!! Edited January 13, 2019 by DRMasterChief 2
wakabayashi Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Nice to have the new forum! I agree with @DRMasterChief that the contrast should be higher. 1
DaoKakao Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Is the old version still acessible? At least for migration period...
lesley Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 It is not. Are you needing something from it?
DRMasterChief Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 @lesley it seems to be black, thank you !! Works much better on my displays and i think other users are ok with this, too. (...i know, grey is that modern in every part of life.... 🙂 )

lesley Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 What topic are you looking for? Everything should have been transferred with the exception of the private messages.
DaoKakao Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 It was topic related to webp. However i already found what a was looking for.
shawjo Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Low priority, but the favicon doesn't seem to be working for the new forum. On another note, if you type the wrong Display Name or Email Address it gives information that could allow for data mining of Display Names or Email Addressses since it doesn't say that your e-mail or password were wrong but distinctly says that the Display Name or Email Address does not belong to a valid account. -shawjo
lesley Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Ok, I have the favicon added, I missed that. I will have to look into the translation.
Beeta Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I really hate Invision Community... I suggested Xenforo 2.1 some months ago. SGRUNT! In case 12 months from now you need help to migrate to xenforo, I can help for free. 😉 Edited January 14, 2019 by FooLab
lesley Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 I understand, we just felt like this application had more features and could better fit our needs. We want to have a forum, not constantly have to manage a forum, if you know what I mean.

I respect your choice and as I said you in private, I'll get over it (in 1 or 2 years 😄)
shawjo Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 The following thread reads as if part of it is missing. -shawjo
lesley Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 It looks to be from a member that deleted his account.
nickon Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Links in email do not seem to work today. When I click I get Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2S136/C
smarterweb Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 not happy with the new forum at all. search function was better before, broken URL's, and most importantly, I can't edit my own posts... see below I really hope you guys will be fixing these issues ASAP. Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2S136/C
lesley Posted February 4, 2019 Author Posted February 4, 2019 What did you search for that broke? What happens when you edit a post? I have edited a couple and not had any issues. If you clicked an old link, we are trying to manually write redirects as we see them hitting the log, but there are a virtual ton to rewrite.
