Is everyone getting used to things?

[John]

It’s been a while now since we moved the forum, hopefully everyone is finding their way around and it wasn’t too much of an upheaval?

The site is currently on a vb hosted package, we have used 15gb of bandwidth since moving here and only have 75gb to use for the month, it was always the plan to move back to my server once everything was transferred and working, today I did a test move, from requesting the back up it took less than 1 1/2 hours, zero posts lost and zero images lost, currently on the site somethings run slow, if I do a new topics search I get Search Results: 33 results in 10.8997 seconds. I did the same search on the site I transferred and it was less than 1/2 second, big difference.

I won’t be doing anything for a week or two just to make sure things are working 100% because it’s easier and quicker it will be going back to the old domain scale-models.co.uk

Now I'm using the correct URL everything is Ticketie-Boo for me. Getting used to posting, editing and adding attachments.
I'm a happy bunny.

[PaulTRose]

Working fine here

I get the lag when clicking new posts but its only 4 or 5 seconds so no problem

[John]

That should improve massively

[Jim R]

I'm quite happy with things now. Still finding out about how it all works but no problems.

I'm happy with the new site. I'm still learning as I go but haven't come across anything stopping me doing things so far. Tbh it's the same as when I joined the site a few years ago.

Within a few weeks I won't remember what it used to be like.

[Andy T]

Yes, settling in nicely. As you say, some searches can seem a little slow (although lightning fast compared to the early days of the Internet! ) but everything else seems great now that you've tweaked here & there.

I have to say that I'm not keen on the emoji, but that's a personal thing.

I seem to be able to find everything I have needed so far, so I think I'm good to go.

[Tim Marlow]

Working OK for me. Most of it is similar to other interfaces I’ve used, so it’s not unfamiliar.

Having just made that last post, I have spotted something new and tbh I'm feeling a little left out . Can someone please let me know what that little icon is for on the Right of people's names next to their Avatar.

If the dot is red it means the user is online

A shortcut to message that person I believe!!

[Peter Gillson]

Getting used to it, learing my way around so all ok

Doug,
Thanks mate, that makes sense. Something else I can tick off.

I know enough now to navigate around the new place. It's certainly getting easier with each new day.

Hi everyone I haven’t been on here for a while but thought I’d come and see what the new place looks like. I’m a bit bemused by the size of the photos on some of the posts I visited. They seem to be very small. I can barely make anything out. I view via my iPad and iPhone. Am I doing something wrong ???

[Lee Drennen]

All my old threads the pics are thumbnail and blurry. Not very happy with that.

[John]

Surly you have your old pictures? If it’s that important you can upload them again
