Thanks. My avatar on my profile page is back :D.

Now. The forum stars on my settings page are broken. http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings/

(I do really appreciate all the effort you are making to quickly iron out bugs!)

On my profile page:
http://geocaching.com.au/cacher/GammaPiSigma
The GCA forum profile link is not working for me:
http://forum.geocaching.com.au/profile. ... file&u=559
Returns a 404 error.

Just checked on the new forum and the profile page url now reads:
http://forum.geocaching.com.au/memberli ... file&u=559

Cheers,
Mike.

We locked up a table so we b0rked the migration.
We are running a fix now, so you need do nothing special.

^^This one works but does not redirect to a log in screen if the user is not already loged in.

I seem to remember i! saying something about one of these features being one of their mods to the out of the box software.
I'll look at this one during the week.
Remind me if I don't do it.

While we were testing we changes the URL so we could test that function. Now that we have the correct forum URL this has been reverted and should be working.

Other than that - absolutely bloody marvellous!

EDIT:
Oops, my question/query was answered while I was still posting - the new Server is so fast it is ahead of me. Look out the Tomorrow People, the server is already there! :P
Correct. Small b0rkage, repair now underway. A LOT of data and so little time to proof it all, but we're nearly there. Just fixing the galleries now.

which server were you on when you added the images?
It was on garmin.geocaching.com.au before the testing request was opened to everyone. The images would have been deleted at some stage but the links have remained. Not a big deal but I just thought I would mention it.

You don't need to try recover the images as it was just a test. Just the image gallery links probably shouldn't have come over?
We're fixing the galleries now. We locked out a table during the update which partially loaded some things. This should all be over shortly.

My lateness in joining the migration was due to a major stuff up at work today and I only left at 9:30pm. We're back under way in the migration and the site should be back soon.

The member list allows you to search by location (like the old version), but when the list is displayed below it, there is no column for location.
http://forum.geocaching.com.au/memberli ... searchuser
I can't see any locations (other than if someone puts one in their phone number), though the order of the list does change when you adjust the filter from joined date, name etc.
OK. This is a hack from the previous version which I didn't notice. Let me get to this during the week. If I don't do it, please remind me. A lot is going on at the moment and my notes need additional notations :-)

A couple of additional things to fix.
Add location, hobbies, etc to signup page.
Hack the "last 50" forum posts thingy.
Fix cacher name where a new cacher hasn't visited the main site yet.

Other things?

GCA/Community/Recent posts/ returns a forum page with "No suitable matches were found." message.
This may have already been covered, but thought I'd mention it.

The [similar request] "View active topics" link on the forum page is good.
