BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[Akrnaf2]

Yeah, it is pretty sad.

You can also screenshot them too which might be easier and faster but still time consuming.

I only have 400 something but it was like 17 pages to screenshot. Too much work hah

Well, actually, I did decide to screenshot them but then I accidentally deleted the screenshots.

I will loos all the wonderful comments!
(Although 8484 is a cool nomber )

How about one of my favorite quotes in @Judy 's signature:

"Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due."

UPDATE: We're expecting BYC to be down for an hour (or maybe more) while we pack up all the data. Unfortunately this can't happen while the site is live... it would be like trying to sharpen your lawnmower's blade while it's running

After that, the old site will be put back up in a "read-only" state while we work on importing all the tons of data into the new platform. This is a LONG process and could take a few days.

Okay Nifty, I am trying to feel okay with this. I come from generations of "Chicken Little," mom, grandmas, plus cousins, nieces - get my drift?

Will there be a "photos in this thread/lightbox" feature?

Initially, no, but we're working on a solution for this!

Ooooo! I hope you can work this out! That is a really useful feature. For those threads with thousands of pages, like a breed discussion, it is way easier to scroll through those photos to find what you want to see, and skip all the chatter.

(I did this with Granny's thread when I couldn't keep up anymore. )

What, you mean you don't do that?

We'll be fine, mostly, since we have Bang Your Head to jabber on. Thanks!!

Good luck @Nifty-Chicken and many thanks for all your hard work (and everyone else on the team) to effect the conversion. I hope it goes smoothly.
