complained yesterday about the problems with the forum, and the store. my part is at the bottom
i'm sorry for the general experience,.
and i completely agree with the forums being screwed up,.
on the plus side,.
the call has been made to ditch bbboard,. and move once again,.
i'm almost done with the converter,. and hope to get to the testing
phase within the next week or so.
at best,. the conversion from ubb to bbboard could be described as a
disaster.
i did what i could to get it as functional as i could.,.
i've gone through 3 different phases of redoing the search,. but in the
end was pulled off to work on other projects,. until we made a decision
on it.
we'd had the impression that bbboard was bigger and better than it was,.
but it wound up spewing errors just to install it.
2 perfect examples, of the shoddy programming is:
1.
a server load of < 1 is pretty normal for us.
the first day we made bbboard public,. we hit 35!
2.
the bbboard import tool ran for 2 days, pegging the cpu load on the
server, causing problems for other apps using some of the resources,.
and only making it slightly past half way.
i wrote my own converter,. which imported everything in 12 minutes,. and
the cpu load never jumped above normal.
we should have bailed at that,. but kept on truckin,. (not my call)
this time around the guidelines are totally different,. and the primary
goal is to improve the user experience.
a forum that you can't realistically search for anything is,. bordering
on useless.
this next go around,. we've picked one of the 2 biggest forums out there,.
(them being,. phpBB and vbulletin)
we opted to go with vbulletin,. searching around the net,. i found a
couple vbulletin sites, that were as large as iboats,. if not larger,.
and (big surprise) they worked.
search worked,. etc.
if there's something i can do to help you with bbboard in the meantime,.
i'd be more than happy to.
but like i said,. it's a dead man walking,. and it might be better to
just stick it out until we get it switched.
let me know what's going on,..
as for the iboats store,.
please give me a description of any problem you're having,.
i'm one of the mall developers, and if there's something wrong,. or that
isn't consistent,. or clear,. we need to get it fixed IMMEDIATELY.
any feedback is helpful,. and does not fall on deaf ears.
