Go live date of 1st of April.

Craig321 · 9 Feb 2017 at 09:11

It's cos someone sucks. Did it first time, all went really well and smooth, but then they realised they left the like system switched on so had to start again.

Second time, things didn't go so well. Threads were missing, admins couldn't log in, they kept getting random error 500s

Third time, things went smoothly, everything worked, no errors. It was left for a week safe in the knowledge that they were going to release on the agreed date, they just needed to do that last database sync before going live. However, someone left this to the new guy. He straight up deleted the DB instead of syncing it, cos new guys do weird stuff like that.

So now the whole thing has been handed to someone else to do, but they work full time so can only really work on it in the weekends. Secretly this person has no idea what they're doing, but they'll get there... eventually.

Does this mean that once the sites updated, that if you post a reply in a thread, then reply to another post in the same thread that it will add your second post to your first (assuming that's still the last post) as other forums do?

Yes, it will be great, greater than America, the greatest, believe me.

Hmm, maybe it will be worth putting up with the Windows Vista UI for then, as long as there's no like button.

And that person is an offshore resource so we can be rest assured that it will all go swimmingly

How can you go from going live on Monday, needing to tweak a few things and then still not being live by the Thursday? Sounds like more than just a few things if it delays it by this much.

It was never going live Monday, you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

Phew, was worried they might be sent home by Brexit and it would stop the site going live ^^

They were sent home last year, so don't worry.

OcUK should have asked DPD to sort out the forum change as they usually deliver on time.

It's true, Abraham Lincoln once said that the majority of quotes on the internet are false!

So it was always going to go live on Monday? :confused:

ChrisD. · 9 Feb 2017 at 12:13

It'll go live when it's ready, as soon as the staff put a date on it something will delay things and there'll be people in here crying. Better to leave it open ended.

Maybe it did go live Monday and they are just trying to trick us!

DXP55: Had to pop in for results of Blood pressure monitoring I had the other week - it's gone up so she upped pills - This was a Locum and she was a big tall South African. She asked me about the other things I had been in for then said - Right - get on bed -trousers down and face wall

KingOfCobham: The work toilets here smell like festival toilets and there's nothing worse when a guy comes out and smiles at you and you then go and sit on the toilet in the cubicle and realised the seat is still warm.

Davey M: It was never going live Monday, you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.
