vbb transition scheduling

[Overhope]

Okay, so about half an hour ago I hit "Add Reply" to see a message saying "FYI: we are now transitioning to vbb" (or words to that effect). Five minutes later everything was working as normal, still under ubb...

Now, I'm not bitching, as I realise this is a long-running undertaking, but could we have a message saying "You are likely to experience freaky stuff for the next x hours" when the Great Switchover (TM) is implemented. Or even just (whisper it) take AI down for a day?

Cynic! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

It's in beta! vbb is no longer vapourware. I've seen screenshots, dammit!

Now it's mere RSN-ware... ;)

[Spart]

It's real enough. They could leave it the default, ugly vB with a few color modifications and piss a lot of you off, or make it extremely good looking and take a while doing it.

I'm all for the latter...though UBB is really getting on my nerves.

And yes, it is entirely vapourware.

Chicanery.

brad, i swear he didn't get them from me...i do not even know who this overhope is....please do not delete my user profile :( .....g

:D

[Brad]

thegelding, what are you talking about?

Anyhow, don't be surprised if some accounts get gobbled up and disappear in the transition. UBB has already been acting pretty funky lately.

December 13th. Mark your calendars, folks.

nothing, i know nothing....i have no idea what i am talking about...please ignore me and that last post....g

[Jonathan]

adding to the funk:

vB is not doing member imports properly.

UBBs member database is now corrupted.

my god, i am going to maul anyone who has ever written a piece of BB software.


hang in there, folks

[EmAn]

this seems great

[Fran441]

Once again, EmAn loses his post count. :p

[Spart]

Damnit.

I worked for a long ass time to get over 1k.

Jon, after you maul them I'll eat what's left.

What's a synonym for cannibal that rhymes with Spart? Maybe a foreign language has one?

;)

[Jonathan]

how bout moron?

that sounds like spart to me.


hey, to the pre-pubescent peanut gallery: every other time that this has happened, has it EVER not been fixed?

Yeah.

Please, go watch power rangers or some shit.

Hey if you guys want some help molding vB into a more mature design let me know. I`m dying to do some Web work for something constructive

[Overhope]

Not sure if you guys have ever attempted a crossover to vB before.

:p

This is not the first time this has happened. the database can and will be fixed.

Give it a rest, folks.

I don't even want to dignify you with a response...

i mean, the ubb breaking.

moron.

[Spart]

:rolleyes:

The :p was there for a reason. I know all about the database ****ing up...this is probably the third or fourth time in my memory that it has happened.
