As said in the notice lads this move to this new platform is happening as we're using it so rather than shut the site down for weeks until the work is done its opened up, but will have teething problems.

Now i'm not the best at computers but from reding the other posts, elsewhere, the platform is a modern one meaning the features from the old site are so out of date that they couldn't be transferred to the new one.

It'll take a little time but we'll soon get all the fetures back up and working and it shouldn't be too different from the old site in terms of view. As for mobile, well i don't own one, but have seen some complaints. Again not overly familiar with the specifics/tech stuff but the mobile platform is different to the desktop one so its basically transfering two sets of features. The obvious priority is the main forum so again give it time.

This size of movement is almost unprecedented for Ireland's largest forum/talk site.

Can someone do me a favour. The site is changed so I'm getting used to the new layout like all of you.

The target forum has lock symbols beside each thread. In the ol format this meant the thread was locked, but it doesn't seem to be the case on the new layout. Can someone pick a thread in the target forum, say the flicnh thread, and just post the word "TEST" to see if its possible to post in the thread.

Thanks.

Right, I've manually opened all threads in the target, main, hunting and for sale forums. So everything should be working fully now.

Multiquote is gone, and I'm not sure if its coming back. The Mobile site issues will have to wait until the desktop version is sorted unfortunately.

As for the stars, they were always there. On the old forum the more you posted the more stars, and Moderators, subscribers, admins, etc. all had varying coloured ones. Now everyone is the same (yay, go socialism).

The pips mentioned above, i've no idea, as i don't see them. The points, well lets hope when you reach a certain amount you get a free prize, like acuddly bear or new rifle. Dealers choice. 😜

JP22, get off the fence nd tell us what you really think. 😋 I'll try address as much as I can but remember this is all new to me too so i won't have all the answers.

To edit a post click the three dots at the top right of each post and select edit.

most of the rest of what you are saying can be covered by one simple thing, its still happening. The transfer of data from the old site to this new one is still taking place. I know this from PMs, threads, posts, etc. that were missing a couple of days ago which hve now appeared. This will/may happen with other features as the site slowly gets back to full working order.

The old format of the site, and I'm not a techie so excuse the Sesame Street explanation, was based on such outdated tech that had it continued on it would have essentially collapsed in on itself. so the change had to be made.

The white space will be filled eventually as more features come online. Again its a waiting game.

As for missing numbers, forums, etc. those items will return however some features may not. I cannot say which or any that will come back or remain gone as I'm not privvy to the extent of the changes being made during the trasnfer.

Its a crappy situation, no doubt, and I won't pretend I'm happy with things either, but until the whole thing is done we won't know what way its going to turn out. Even when the transfer is done there will be teething problems, bugs to be rectified, and so on. I'm only posting to try and answer a few questions and then I'm sitting back and waiting.

Finally there usual forum for reporting faults is not up and running, yet. The "head Mods" would be the admins but they're busy with all this site stuff so any complaints to them will be wasted as they're fully aware of the faults and cannot make the process go faster.

Hopefully this covers as much of your issues as possible.

On a personal note, take more time off. God knows i'm enjoying it. Never got as much work done, and no hassle, no arguments, reported posts, fights to referee etc. A small glispse of life almost completely without tech (as I'm not on the other social media either) and its not half bad. 😎
