We survived week one!


Curious

So we all survived our first week on the new platform!   The transition has been smoother than I expected and the overall feedback has been quite positive.

We tested the software for about a month before we put it on the live site, but no matter how much you test it's different once you have hundreds or thousands of unique users, so we do have a few outstanding bugs that are being worked on.

* Some posts have gibberish characters in them

* Some profiles are not working properly (or at all)

* Moods is not working on Spectrum theme

* Down votes are wonky for some (most) people

* Search not bringing up all results

I'm sure I have missed something, but those are the ones that came to mind.   Profile and the search problems will be fixed once the posts with gibberish are fixed.  This was not a trivial fix and tech support is working on that issue for us.  We hope to have it resolved by the end of this week.   They are also working on the down votes issue.

We have 6 member blogs started, which I find exciting.   I can't wait to see what our members blog about.   There are already some great posts.  Cartman99 showed off her beautiful hardwood floor project and MarblesMom provides a recap of the nightly chats people have been having.  I've been able to pop into chat a couple times and it's been fun getting to know some members a bit better in real time.

I'd like to remind everyone that we have a wonderful FAQ system now (maintained by HernameisBuffy) and it's always up-to-date.  We also have a well maintained Tech Support forum, if you are having any problems.

This blog has been on hiatus since I was away from Nov, 2014-June 2015, but now that we are through the upgrade, I hope to bring it back to life.

On to week 2!

I haven't noticed anything down-voteable yet, so interested to see how that progresses!

ETA: By that I mean deserving of a down vote, not in regards to site functionality.

I'm still learning the new site, but as far as I have seen, it rocks. 

(Is it sad that the first time I got a notification of a "like" my mind went to Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech? "They like me. They really like me!")

Yes, they are all created equal!  If we all took the time to analyse the motivation behind every like we wouldn't have time to post anything to be liked in the first place.  :)

not pity likes! I actually liked your comment and could relate, but as we are not supposed to post "I agree" without commentary, I just liked/upvoted your post :D

The more I read and 'like' other posts, the more I'm getting used to the whole system. And above, I was being a bit of a smart mouth. I'm kind of prone to that. :-) Maybe I'll have to look up HerNameIsBuffy's amazing post from a bit back with her mom's dating and sex advice. I'd give that one a million 'likes' if it were allowed!

Not having much luck, other than at staying logged in.  Can't get to my profile, though I can get to others.  I get a message of EX0 (or maybe EXO).  When I click the contact button, I get the form, but no cursor. 

Can't tell for sure, but my page seems short some "things" at the top.  Negotiating around is hap hazard to say the least. . . .

 

HELP!!!!

The profile problem is a known issue and the thread in tech support is being updated by @destiny31.  

Can you start a post in tech support for the issue where you think stuff is missing from the top including a screen shot and what device/OS you are on when you get the error?

it makes everything easier for both tech support and you if people post their issues in the correct forum so they can be addressed.  Posting problems in non-tech support threads doesn't guarantee that it will be seen or followed up because we can't read every post.  

Thanks - if you post the screen shot and info in tech support I'll take a look.

Can't start any threads, I don't think.  Kind of can't "see" enough to do so--so here we go: This is what my header looks like-->keeper.thumb.PNG.93de3ae8bb7233dcff96a5f

Under the above is an ad, then this thread.

what device/OS are you on?   Can you go to the bottom of the page and click the theme link - select spectrum or default and see if you have the same problem in those themes?  Thanks.

      Ugggggg- today was my half day dental appointment for crown molds and a cleaning. Over the weekend my husband returned from a business trip with a respiratory illness. This morning I tested + for Covid. I have never had it before. I am more OP’d at not being able to move forward with my dental care. Symptoms: body aches, chills, cough. 

      Ugh that sucks. 
       

      Have you tried the $600 Lume red light? I hear it works wonders! (Note my sarcasm)

      Re: Rebekah Pearl Anast and husband Gabe. There is a lot on them in the FJ archives. At one point, after several kids, Gabe announced that he would not be working at a regular job any more but would instead stay home studying the Bible 24/7 because that's what God told him to do. Consequently, he & Rebekah started openly requesting monetary donations. They also ran an absolutely crazy website + forums called 7Xsunday

      I somehow missed this when it came up on FJ years ago but here is an old interview* with Mike Pearl's nephew (his sister's son). It will give you an idea of what it was like to grow up in or adjacent to Mike Pearl.

      Suck, suck, suck!

      Quote

      The “world’s largest” plant designed to suck planet-heating pollution out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum began operating in Iceland on Wednesday.

      “Mammoth” is the second commercial direct air capture plant opened by Swiss company Climeworks in the country, and is 10 times bigger than its predecessor, Orca, which started running in 2021.

      Direct air capture, or DAC, is a technology designed to suck in air and strip out the carbon using chemicals. The carbon can then be injected deep beneath the ground, reused or transformed into solid products.

      Climeworks plans to transport the carbon underground where it will be naturally transformed into stone, locking up the carbon permanently. It is partnering with Icelandic company Carbfix for this so-called sequestration process.

      I admit I am so extremely curious as to how the divorce, custody, visitation, new spouses, new half siblings, and all that is worked out in this family.
