Thats good. I closed the door to the deck about an hour ago and turned on the a/c here in the Keys.

Spel checkist

Yup, got spell check here in the Upper Peninsula.  Little dashed red lines under incorrectly-spelled words.  Three of them in this post.  Can you find all three without referring to your own spell checking system (well, other than your brain, that is)?

My extensive (well, sorta) research says that spell check is built into most browsers but IE.  If spellcheck / spell check on IE was working before, but now isn't (which seems to be the case), there may be a plugin that got lost in the move.

PS, I changed some URL's, and it looks to me like the "Login-forever" function is working.

 :-( :? :x

Folks, I apologize all over the place.  I finally got a clean download of the 27,844 images that have been posted in the forum over the years (7th try).  In my exuberance of uploading them (it's happening now, and will probably end early tomorrow morning) I blew away the images that have been posted on the new site in the last couple days.

My screwup.

There's no retrieving them, but I will change the forum rules so you can edit the posts you've made, and upload the files again (without having to re-post).  Please wait until tomorrow, ok?  I'll post here when the upload is done.

Again, I apologize....

Nothing to apologize for Bob, those things happen from time to time, when you are doing big data migrations.
If you have not done that sort of thing ----- you ain't doing much IT work!
If you are doing IT work you will sooner or later.


Thanks for all the hours you have invested in making this a painless cut over to the new server!

Yes it is and my avitar is back too. Still no spell check for me though. Will the "latest posts" area on the main page be coming back?

Bob, you're doing well! You've found the avatars too.

Blowing photos is easy. You learn the lesson and probably won't do it again. I do a lot of nature and landscape photography. I know I used to erase my card when I loaded a set of photos into the computer. At one point I blew away about 300 photos from an afternoon shoot and wasn't able to recover them. I now wait to format the card when it's back in the camera and the pics are safely entered in the computer and backed up.

Keep up the great work. This migration has been relatively smooth for the users.

Thank-You,
Pete

'Tis a good day... I was getting pretty nervous about all those forum attachments.  Besides just getting the files, lots of the filenames are encrypted, so there could have been an issue with them being decrypted properly on the new server.

The IE spellcheck problem is on the list of things to check out.

The "Latest Posts" list on the LR home page is on the list too.  It's a different plugin from before, and may be a bit different... we'll see.  

If anyone notices an image that's missing, let me know.

Attachment test....
