Change is good!

Not always.

Is this an upgrade of xenforo or a new server again?

 

[sourland]

Not always.

Heck yes ! Took me weeks to find my way home after the last upgrade, but Nifty saved me.

It would be just the forum software, but we'll also be scheduling a server upgrade a month or so later.

that should be a lot smoother.

Is there an faq of new features? Will we be able to insert google docs?

Last time was changing from the Huddler software to Xenforo software, though there might have been a new server too.

This time is a change to the latest and greatest version of Xenforo.

We had to move to a whole new service provider. Data had to be moved and it went slowly until Rob kicked in more servers for the move.

Also, the project manager group was employed to fix lots of broken articles-- broken during the move. Many lost lots of years wort of uploaded images too. Luckily all of my photos are backed up on drop box

As I understand it, the old softare, Huddler, was no longer supported, so we switched to the Xenforo software/platform. A few other sites I'm on were changed from Huddle to Xenforo too.

@Nifty-Chicken and @CarpCharacin, I just noticed that this does not work at TEG

I'm not sure if that bbcode was ever on TEG. It isn't one that comes standard with XF.

As I understand it, the old softare, Huddler, was no longer supported, so we switched to the Xenforo software/platform. A few other sites I'm on were changed from Huddle to Xenforo too.

In order for BYC to stay online, we had to switch, as Huddler hosted the site previously, and they were shutting down.

Now XF 1.5 is no longer supported. It'll no longer get feature updates, so it'll no longer get updates to support newer server requirements, so we're planning on upgrading BYC to the newest version of XF.

Ugh. I hate change.

that must be why the universe gave me chickens. And clearly BYC, too.
