Where's the money, Lebowski?

[Lauda]

Sure. These things take time. Just checking in, seeing if I missed the 2 million dollar beta of our new bbs forum software.
Oh, since you're in the loop, how will the beta interact with this, the legacy forum? Share the database?

Happy New Year!

Missed 2 million? Nothing is missed, theymos has the right to do whatever he wants with that money. ATM all the data from this forum has been transferred to the Beta. However, I'm not sure how it is going to work while both forums are active (Beta being public and this forum still being mainly used), but eventually it should merge into a single one.

Does the beta happen to be at https://beta.bitcointalk.org/?

I tried logging in but I got this error:

Account Migration Not Complete, Please Reset Password

Yes. I'm not sure if it is possible for people that have not been chosen (e.g. currently staff members) to log in right now. IIRC everyone who wants to participate in the Beta will have to reset their password anyways.

I was able to login however it does not appear to be updated/live and my posts seem to not be migrated.

1. "if I missed the 2 million dollar beta" != 2 million dollars is missing. Parsing error.
2. Been covered, start here.

Yeah, just fired it up in TOR browser. Feel sorry for competing forum software, almost unfair how good it is. Now I see where all the money went.

@knightdk: Create a new user, that works fine.

And will likely do so for the foreseeable future.

Wrong. I'm using the new software right now. Stop trolling because you have no evidence to back up such claims.

So. Lying through your teeth?

[unamis76]

Wasn't aware that the beta was live! Looking good so far Does the database update from time to time, or are you manually updating things just for testing? Is it possible to start using the beta version regularly?

Everybody lies. However, in this case I'm not.

The updates are manual. Importing from the servers that the current forum is using is not as easy as it sounds (without downtime).

I'll wait the official 'release' before try epochtalk, I don't feel comfortable to put my access data there or to reset the password (I started the procedure but after I've deleted the email). However, happy new year to all you.

So, by "using it now," you meant what, exactly? Databases aren't synched, most of the stuff doesn't work, most of the posts don't display, so useless for its intended purpose. What were you doing with it?

The database sync was a few months back; constantly migrating the data would be redundant since it was not going to be used by almost anyone. "Most of the stuff doesn't work" is just wrong.

-Half of the posts don't display: http://s30.postimg.org/yrzysgeg1/Capture.png
-Search doesn't work.
-quotes/links in messages 404.
-database doesn't synch.
-text doesn't parse right in editor.
TL;DR: unusable as forum software. As expected.

[...] Everything is better than SMF. Stop trolling. It is pretty obvious that envy is present here.

OIC.

Happy New Year

All right, thank you. I guess I'll wait a bit more before using it. Obvious not easy to copy a live server...

Dear mods: It is my understanding that I'm allowed to bump my own thread once every 24 hrs, as long as its subject remains unresolved.
Kindly refrain from deleting posts you feel are too terse/you do not like/don't understand.

As long as the subject wasn't trash to begin with, and more participation increases it, and its not trolling. I don't think you meet any of the requirements to 24hr bump this thread.

Came across this interesting thread by accident.

Couple of years later, https://beta.bitcointalk.org/ is up, but no migration still?

beta.bitcointalk.org has advanced a lot since then. Work continues. I think that technically it would be possible to migrate ~now -- the database migration code has already been written --, but I want to be absolutely sure that there will be no issues. (It'd be nice if there was more beta participation...)

I don't think that many people are aware of the new forums, maybe launching an official beta testing event could help recruiting more users.
(Suggestion: They can also be more interested if they could earn few cents for every bug reported.)
