[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

Thanks sb

Thanks for the temp URL

Is the one post a minute but able to edit thing working on the new system?

My signature seems to have not migrated properly :frowning:

Thanks sb for the effort in this marathon upgrade. The things you do for love aye. :slight_smile:

Good to see BLF back online, looks great!

Well done and thanks

The proper URL will start working soon enough, but your DNS-servers will cache the old address for up to 24 hours, sometimes even longer. I’m guessing the temporary address will be up for a couple of days at least :slight_smile:

sb56637: Awesome work mate, I know how horribly wrong upgrades can go sometimes and it’s no fun at all. Thanks!

The new site seems snappier, is that temporary or because of improved inefficiencies of the new software?

The new software is more efficient, although I haven’t had time to optimize its caching settings or the underlying OS performance settings yet. Also we’re still under very light load at the moment, so that probably has something to do with it.

No, not yet. (Shhhh! Don’t tell the spammers!)

Yep, sorry about that. I did try long and hard to migrate the signatures, but I finally had to give up. (Actually the first 255 characters of your signature are in tact, if that’s any consolation.)

Aka: Your signature was too damn long! :lol:

Well said.

Looks great! Thanks for the good work

Looking good.
I wrote “it’s done when it’s done” tonight but man, I am glad it is done for the most part!
THANKS!

Thanks sb

Looks like you’re still editing the site code. It’s almost mesmerizing watching the PHP error types and line numbers change. :slight_smile:

Oh, also looks like signatures may have been truncated to 255 characters. I’m not sure what the old limit was, but apparently it was at least slightly longer than that.

Glad someone is getting a kick out of it! :slight_smile: I am definitely the world’s worst coder, and Drupal definitely has fantastically awful documentation. :-/

Thank you SB. Great job, gorgeous result.

I think I got it raised now. But unfortunately old signatures have been truncated, and I couldn’t figure out any way around it.

Thanks SB.

Time for a :beer:

AARRGhhhhhh!! where's my :beer: gone??!!!??!
