There was a message that the upgrade did not go as planned, and they will try again next week. The 'new' RCU will look different.

I like the look of the "Old" RCU, if they could just get all the bugs worked out..

I hope that they keep the "15 most active forums in the last 60 Minutes" list..  I cannot tell you how many interesting topics and conversations I have found just by looking at those listed threads!!

Well, I was taking bets that something would go wrong with the update. Looks like I won.

Now let's see if everyone pays up!

Also looks like we can't edit a post now.

I hope RCU gets rid of that foamy plane in their "Shot of the moment" that's been up for years. [&o]

RCU forum is now open for posting again. The forum software upgrade is delayed due to unforeseen technical issues ... the kid doing the upgrade had to go back to school.

As you RCU regulars know the current forum has always had issues linking pictures to posts. It would seem that some of these issues were still not resolved by the upgrade and rather than risk a repeat of the pictures issue they are going to work on it though this week and go for it next weekend.

I am not making excuses for the IT guys but the data set they are working with is large, varied and often linked in unexpected ways. The migration is not a trivial exercise.

I have my fingers crossed for next weekend.

Unfortunately the Tech Staff ran into some problems over the weekend that slowed down the migration. They were not able to migrate all of the attachments to posts, this includes pictures and other uploads. They had a choice of opening RCU with the new software without attachments such as pictures or simply coming back up on the old RCU system. The logical choice here was to come back up under the old system. They are currently working to archive the attachments and the current plan is to continue the migration starting on Friday (if not sooner). I will try to keep everybody posted on the progress as we get closer.

I think we need to stop whining about it. There is a lot of responsibility keeping this running and everything will have its issues. Where will we go if this site is no more ?

I've sent your wishes along to the powers that control that part of the front page and they said they would get on it tonight and try to load up some more images to view.
