Not directly related but whatever happened to Anthony's plan to move to another forum s/w platform? At one time it was imminent but for some time now, nothing.
You'd really hafta ask Anthony that one, but do be aware that there's a
LOT involved in just getting ready for such a transfer! :dontknow:
It's bad enough when you're just 'Upgrading' from one version of any platform software to the next version of the same platform, where with any luck, the platform developers will have done most of the work to make sure you don't lose any functionality, data, &/or history, etc; but then when you want to not only want to do an
upgrade on what's already there but also change the platform entirely, where the old platform developers haven't done anything to smooth the transition, well that's a whole new
universe of difficulty! :shocked:
And then you've gotta find the right time to do it; enough time to do it; work out how long it's going to take if all goes smoothly; prepare contingencies just in case it
doesn't all go smoothly; and a whole bunch more besides..... there's a lot more involved than most people think!
. Just like watching a duck swimming serenely on a pond, few are aware of how much paddling is going on below the surface to keep it all looking smooth & calm above! And we aren't the only Forum &/or Platform that Anthony is looking after either. Sooo, other &/or conflicting priorities can mean that '
imminent' might occasionally take a bit longer to convert to '
done' than it would in other circumstances/environments - and all that's before you even consider the possibilities in changing/developing customer needs &/or wants!!
Still, in the meantime, I'm thankful we've got what is after all a pretty good Forum with few major issues populated in the whole by a bunch of fairly interesting, friendly, and helpful people; and funnily enough, most of them seem to have at least
ONE if not a few of the same interests as I do!
hyea: Aren't you?! :cheers:
Believe me, if it's a conflict between various un-related lines, then even finding it could be pretty difficult, let alone FIXING it! :yikes: And then there's all the other priorities the platform designers/coders have to contend with &/or satisfy - even with machine generated coding, de-bugging, and testing, a little thing like this, which really isn't all that much of an issue, could easily keep on sliding down the priorities list and never quite make the cut...
