Software change coming

[Sock Puppet]

I like changes that aren't changes...

Or just relax, it's a software change. Worst case, some people are mildly inconvenienced on the internet. And the people in charge are working very hard to prevent any mild inconveniences.

We can't even get the changeover to happen on time so you can understand why we're worried. If we can't even make the change, what lies ahead once the change finally does come?

 

[Younggun]

Nope. I can't.



I hope you suffer no mild inconvenience and wish you and your loved ones the best in these troubling times.



Seriously, the world is not going to end and your microwave will probably still work after the software change. Probably.

TGT is a fun place to visit. We come here because we enjoy it. I've seen other forums over the years collapse when changes didn't go well. I'm still around, they're not. Too big an inconvenience and folks might just move on.

Just sayin.

I'm amazed at how worked up some are getting because others are working extremely hard to make sure there aren't any mild inconveniences to the Internet lives of others. Instead of griping about the change AND that it isn't happening fast enough, maybe consider that every precaution is taken in order to ensure that it goes smoothly. I guess it could have been rushed, just throw everything in to the new software, flip a switch, and hope for the best. Then some might get the dramatic failure they seem to be looking for. Of course, the forum would be down so there wouldn't be anywhere to bitch about it.


My biggest fear is trying to find the "unread posts" button again. It could take as long as 12 seconds of scrolling!



At least give the forum a chance to fall apart before griping about the forum falling apart. And even if it were to fall apart I'd be willing to bet that everything will be backed up under the original OS in order to resurrect all of our life changing arguments should it be needed.

Inconveniences like having to wait for ever and refresh several times in order to get a page to load?


Cause that's a Vbulletin issue. Just sayin.

Inconveniences like the forum being down for weeks due to a hack that targeted weaknesses in Vbulletin?

Cause that's a Vbulletin issue...just sayin.

I appreciate the efforts of those all knowing techs to keep us safe! Just don't make me have a gigantic password with caps, lower case, numbers, Roman numerals, etc.

I can't count that high!

I don't like this new format. All the posts look like they were made by whiny little girls.....

 

[Charlie]

Well, there are a great deal of whiny people posting whiny shit. My respect for humanity and maturity is ebbing a little more rapidly than in the past.

I guess it's just because I'm an old fart, but it seems to me maturity arrives much later for a lot of folks these days.

I like to get my complaining started early so I am good and warm when it is needed.

Yep! I concur!

Is that different from the "New Posts" button?

 

[Younggun]

Probably just different enough for someone to complain about it.

Wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I'm going to bed now. If the change over is not done by morning, things are gonna get ugly around here.
