Another vote for circles here. If everyone gets avatars at least we should make them look more uniform.
This might make an interesting poll.
if you take a look right now, you can see it with square avatars.
I see no obvious issues with the import. My avatar looks better than it ever has Looking forward to the migration, which is on my birthday xDHi everyone,
Last night I did a new import of a copy of our database from just a couple of days ago.
Please look around again and see if everything is in place. The most important thing is data migration. So, please, check your attachments, your private messages, your personal data. The style stuff, while also important, is less critical to get 100% right on day 1.
At this point we're migrating to on Sunday (this weekend)... so final checks in place. I still have some minor style things I'll tweak and play with.

Yes, I am unable to log in either, at present.
As of now, I am not sure about whether the contents of PMs will migrate too, although I expect that the migration will include this.
Data seems okay for me as well.
I'm not sure if this was previously brought up or not, but will it be possible to increase the size of the icon/link for 'go to first unread message' in 'watched threads'? It's quite tiny.

I believe the regular thread links also go to unread.

Well, I am still unable to log in, and just tried to do so a minute or so ago.
My old password no longer works and I have no idea what the new password is as it must have slipped arn's mind when he said he would send a fresh one.
Interestingly, my name appears next to some posts I haven't made (recent activity), and other posts I haven't made, liked, or followed the authors of appear as mine (postings).

ok, I wiped the recent activity feed for users. Will get that reset next time.
Some of the new posts might not be right either since the search index might not have rebuilt and is used old data for some of it.
For the actual import, we will do a full search index rebuild so we don't have any stuff like that happen.
thanks for the observations

The new password allows me to access the forum but only as though I were browsing the forums form outside; in other words, while I can read it, I am not logged in, and cannot see 'my' avatar or name anywhere.

And the system is now giving me an error report.
This is very frustrating.
I have no idea how to do that, unfortunately.
