OK, either I'm going blind or the Helpdesk link on the bar seems to have gone. Tried System-Help but that's the old help system and says to use Helpdesk tickets but there's no link.

Did helpdesk get lost in the upgrade ??

Also, were all messages from yesterday before the upgrade wiped as I cant find 2 threads that I started.

OK, I've altered the thread title, hopefully we can keep this all in one thread.

Everything that was done yesterday (17th October) after 3.15am (ish) is gone. Bye bye. The Database needed to be restored from the backup performed at 3.15am(ish) on the 17th, so everything done after that backup is gone and is no more. This includes threads, replies, PMs, profile, password and signature changes - EVERYTHING.

Certain features are missing at the moment, as some custom changes need to be made to vBulletin to add these back in.

Check the Upgrade Forum to see what issues are outstanding, or to report something which doesn't work.

Firstly - YEA! it's back!

Secondly -

- frontpage is borked, yea? Haven't seen anyone else mention it but it's.. well.. compleatly borked.

- quick reply still doesn't work for me (others are saying it got fixed.. using Firefox in Linux / KDE here)
(edit: got my answers here.)

- none of the buttons on top of this edit box are doing anything for me (bold, insert link, align, etc.)
(edit: working now. probably the same problem as above : cache etc.)

- doesn't actually seem any faster. in fact, slower if anything ...this _could_ be an issue on my end though, been having some net problems today. How is it for others?

+ search is back - nice one!

All in all, looks like the admins had a late night last night. Much appreciated and all that.

Search is back \:D/

Running much more soothly for me, link takes a second or two to load new page, but can still move around while waiting, and page change is instant (instead of old half loads, and then you cant scroll down, waiting for rest of page to load.)

Fair play to you guys...I'm sure a lot of cups of cofee were had. Well done.

I'm sure the admins know all about these problems, and fair ****s to them for spending the time on this upgrade, thanks. All will be sorted in due time I would imagine.

I also want to say kudos and thanks to the adjusters of the modcp/post queue interface, we can actually see posts and threads in a large text box area now, well needed. And there's a few other cool worky things that seem groovy, looking forward to using them too. Fair play to yez.

Side note... that's forum number 601 ... wow, how we have grown...

When you open any forum or thread list that you mod, you'll see threads marked "Moderated:" which means that they're awaiting your approval, and normal users can't see them.

Also, when a unreg user posts in an existing thread, it says "1 Moderated Post(s)" beside the thread title to let you know it's there (there's an e.g. in PI right now). Super-duper handy.
