UPDATE:Everyone ready for tomorrow's forum switch?

[mrs.jacinthe]

Ellie updated, so see the new global post! It's important.

PSA for app users: We'll be down at midnight tonight until whenever we get switched over.

App users will NOT see a change.

[thewop]

I think I'm good.

Oooh does that mean someone didn't steal my name? How does this work with the app?

[mrs.jacinthe]

I'm honestly not sure (at all) how the app works. You might do well to read through the Ellie post, or at least the last few pages ...

but no, your name is taken by you.

I think I'm good. I just logged in to the new site. I assume that on tomorrow we just use the same website URL that we've always been using?

[mrs.jacinthe]

Yep. There will be no change to our site address. The link ellie provided is just for test purposes.

So if we created the login when tomorrow comes what will happen? I understand its a new format but will need to update the apps? Then use my new login? All I use is the app.

[mrs.jacinthe]

We're just updating to a new version of the site. In theory, everything should continue to work as before, but with a somewhat new design and some new features. I don't think there's an app update for tomorrow. You'll just login and continue as before.

Sweet! Thanks everyone

So I did the update this afternoon on my work PC. Now I'm home and can log in with my usual credentials on my tablet but not my iPhone. It just takes me back to the guest page. FWIW I am not using the app. Any idea why this is happening?

[mrs.jacinthe]

ali - best idea I can offer is to clear the cache on your iphone and try again. I'll post this on the help board ... maybe someone else is having the same problem.

My old screen name (Rachael070707) is updated but of course I created this new name after the test board was started. So I have to wait until the switch to update/create this one again? Am I following that part correct?

[ktzmoh]

Are we supposed to come to the same site? (that is, will my bookmark take me to the right place tomorrow?)

[mrs.jacinthe]

Yes, same site tomorrow. Rach, I'm honestly not sure. I think so, but I'm confused.

MrsJ, I can't figure out how to quote yet but FYI I was able to log in on my work computer and my iPhone this morning.  Haven't tried my tablet yet but hopefully it will work now that the migration is over.

Ok, it looks like you quote in the empty space below.  Just start typing.....there's no white box to type in, just gray space.

Ok I see now.  It looks like the Preview function is gone though.

Oh that's kind of crappy.  I used that function a lot if I had a post with pics.
