Excellent.
Soon™
Although in all seriousness - it is getting closer, as lots of little tweaks keep being ticked off the list.
In Valve time that's close to 9 years!
Can't wait!

I bet the new forum won't work in IE6. I don't know what I'm going to do when you upgrade.
It will certainly be a crime against humanity to not support IE6.

I will try and test this on Monday on my xp VM at work

How do you still use IE6?! I bet a significant number of people on this forum weren't even born when IE6 was released! :p
I'm hoping it will be released in the next couple of weeks, or as a Christmas gift!?

Do you really want the forums updated whilst everyone is tipsy from the Sherry?

You joke (I hope) but until just a couple of weeks ago we had to use IE8 at work. Fortunately they finally saw sense and installed Chrome for all users.

Most sites don't work properly in IE7 these days never mind IE6.
IE8 is still on our base image for Windows 7. We still have some LoB apps in use that won't work on anything higher!
The biggest problem is not handful of forumites posting from IE6 on XP on their NHS vended computers at work, but links. Change of structure will wipe out all the references and links out there to threads and posts, and with them all the elements legitimising this forum on google rankings which at the moment very often supersede those of the subject itself - as in - this forum is discussing a product and forum page comes up higher on google than the actual manufacturer's product page itself.
It was a virtual machine. I need XP for software testing.
Forum sections, posts and threads probably won't have the same numbers.
Why wouldn't they? That's the whole point of doing a proper upgrade.
hydrogenaudio.org used to run on IPB (invision power board) and its links looked like this:
Code:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28647Paste that in to a new window/tab, and it automatically redirects to this new style link because the forum software is entirely different.
Code:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,28647.0.htmlNotice something in common between the 2 of them?
Although I appreciate that there may be extremely rare cases where this might happen, what you're describing is almost certainly due to Google tailoring search results for you. It knows what you browse, your search results will be different depending on that. Try using someone else's device to Google the same thing and see if you get the same results!
