Title: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 01 July 2011, 10:47:12 am: http://fazerowners.yuku.com (http://fazerowners.yuku.com)

So should we go back while we finish this site or stay here permanently? All opinions welcome :guitar

Post by: goldfazer on 01 July 2011, 10:52:17 am: Given this has been properly live for a few days, it's probably a good opportunity for feedback which can be implemented, but back to Yucky for a bit.

Post by: peterjca on 01 July 2011, 11:56:50 am: Feedback:

Correct the spelling of "Fared" in the profile drop-down for choosing which Fazer you own :D

Post by: DILLIGAFF on 01 July 2011, 12:04:14 pm: Let peeps slowly migrate here till the old site becomes redundant?
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: BBROWN1664 on 01 July 2011, 12:08:18 pm: If we do that DILLIGAF we will end up with two seperate forums. YUKU will never die if people are still using it.

I think take the feedback from the last couple of days, go back to YUKY and laucnh this one properly in the near future once we have worked out how to migrate the good bits from the old forums. When we move, YUKY needs to be made read-only with a big message pointing the way to teh new and improved forums.

Post by: DILLIGAFF on 01 July 2011, 12:15:50 pm: Well OK then.

Anyway this site has no "Moans and Groans" page and I do like a good moan..................

Post by: ghostbiker on 01 July 2011, 04:37:29 pm: Yuku is still down for me
But once its back up fully we should go back until you guys are ready for the move. rather than having the move thrust upon you because yuku went down.
BIG respect for you getting it to this stage. It works and seems stable. most of the rest of it is just cosmetic trimmings and posts/stickies

Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 03 July 2011, 12:19:16 am: Thanks for all the feedback. You are all of course right, we should stay with Yuku until this place is ready, then let people get used to it over a month say, then go 'live' and make the Yuku board read-only.

peterjca thank you it now says faired :thumbup

Post by: Hodge on 21 August 2011, 10:07:23 pm: You need to make a decision on how you are going to move forward as it's impractical, confusing and messy having the two boards running in tandem.
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Eastriding2002 on 23 August 2011, 04:44:33 pm: Two boards is ideal for those of us with split personalities!
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 23 August 2011, 05:41:40 pm: Easto :woot :woot :woot :woot

So what do you think? Was all that early testing worth the effort? And are you sticking around or flying visit only??

Hodge - thanks for the comment :)

Post by: helen on 25 August 2011, 09:23:37 pm: Hi Frazer - where's the time gone!!!

I remember this site now, sorry I've not done much (if any) testing for you. Hope all is going well :)
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 26 August 2011, 04:08:51 am: Hi Helen :kiss You did a fair bit of testing early on don't forget.

Post by: Eastriding2002 on 27 August 2011, 01:55:56 am: Farjo,

I pop in from time to time still, just busy sorting things out for the last year or so. The new site seems just like the old one, from what little I've seen, so that can't be a bad thing.
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 27 August 2011, 02:41:00 am: The old one? Do you mean Yuku or an old one we tested?

Good luck with your sorting.

Does everyone who uses YUKU know of the proposed changes? To promote awareness of this site you could:
1. Stick a banner at the top of the current YUKU site with the new sites address
2. Have a "sticky" topic in the Featured Topics section on YUKU
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Eastriding2002 on 30 August 2011, 03:04:34 pm: I think those who "run" the site and do all the work should decide a time when they feel is right to switch the old one off for want of a word and migrate to the new one.

Perhaps having a readily available link to this version prior and get people used to the new site would be an option?
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Major Rant on 31 August 2011, 09:30:56 pm: I've migrated systems before and the only way is

- pick a date
- tell everyone how to migrate
- tell everyone that they will be marooned after date X
- do it

There are 2 other very important steps
- Shoot the whingers (usually involves threatening them with poor performance appraisals)
- Kill the stragglers ("Oh dear, has your database stopped working?)

IBM370 anyone ?
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: dolau on 16 September 2011, 12:38:08 pm: I am with major Rant and Pilgrim

Pick a date and close the old one down

Shame I am losing 13000 posts and going back to being a newbie!
Title: Re: Yuku is back
Post by: Farjo on 18 September 2011, 01:21:18 pm: :thumbup The switch-over date is 26 Sept.

On this date your postcount will be copied over.
