Win-Raid -- New Home ! Upgrading forum software and evolving

just a quick question will the migration happen this April or somewhere within May or June? take your time guys this looks very important feel free to delay if needed

@wendell @plutomaniac @Fernando



Delighted “Win-Raiders” is finding a new “home”…! Arghh matey :slight_smile:

Always enjoyed Wendell’s youtube chats when a suffering from a ‘tech addiction attack’ so I think this should be a good fit.



BTW my Asus P6T mobo is still running using the X5680 Xeon chip at a cool overclocked 4.56GHz as a daily internet driver…

Dropped in an LSI 9271-8i adapter card and did a RAID5 array on 4 Samsung 500GB SSDs to run at 2460GB/s throughput.

Squeaking every drop of performance before upgrading sometime later this year…

If you stick around long enough you actually learn a few things along the way. What’s not to like?

Wishing you all much success!



Cheers

@ ALL

Hi everyone! We are almost ready to migrate to the new platform. We’re expecting it to happen tomorrow, Wednesday April 27th. Due to time difference between the parties involved and time required for the actual migration, it would be safe to assume that the forum will not be accessible tomorrow.

The current domain will be operational a few days afterwards (hopefully, needs to be transfered after the migration) but we’ll link you to the new one manually in the interim.

Best regards,
Plato

Now both forums are still “out of sync” - old one not being updated anymore and this one (e.g. your Intel CSME thread) having very old entries.

Besides waiting after this weekend, is there any information you can give us on when these main threads will be updated?

thank you

Just like Dieter mentioned at the Welcome thread, I’ll first wait for any topic changes to migrate before further updating with current pending changes:

I’m of the opinion that it is better to wait a bit and do it properly, rather than rushing for no significant/important reason.

This is my first visit since the migration, I have to say this new forum software is awful, it’s very bloated and hard to navigate, it uses a tiny ammount of screen real estate in the centre of the screen with the sides being empty, it’s clearly forum software designed for phones and tablets but the community is windows pc users. This is dumb.

Agree, mostly because , for example guides/important topics are not pinned to top of sub-topics
and we have to scrool it all over. Also some should be divided in to more sub-topics sections.

Agreed.

I used to visit here (the old one) often to read various threads just like people open FB, Twitter everyday to scroll and read posts/tweets. I have hardly visited here since the migration because of the forum software.

Greatly appreciated the work done by folks of winraid/level1techs but this software needs some interface change.

Sorry to say but I agree with the 3 posts above. The forum just isn’t the same and the layout is awful.

On a side note I’m sad to hear about the end of WinRaid - it was such a great community.
Thanks to everyone who made the site what it was.
Gonna miss it!
