Doing some moving today

Moving one of the test sites to the main site today.  The main site will be going down for a little bit in an hour or so.

I made a new subdomain this morning where peeps can copy previous info or posts and make it easier to repost things on the new place if they want.  Most posts from the last 2 or so months will not show on the new system.  The clone of this main site (minus this post and anything here after) is at old.wheelhorsestables.com/      

Once the move is done I'll put a post on the new forum with more info.  
I'm sure it will be a little messy for a bit but it should all be back and mostly working by lunch, I hope lol.  



 

OK I've hit some snags, having some trouble with my hosting peeps.  I haven't started yet and it won't be done by lunch.  More info coming soon.  

I'm trying something different than my original plan, if it works all the posts here will remain.  We'll see...  

OK,,, the old site link above is not actually the old site from here right now anymore...  I know, I'm full of surprises and get these strange ideas...   

I've been in the process of doing all of the upgrades on the old site clone from here this afternoon.  I thought I would see if I could take all of my learning and notes and do it in 1 day or less.  If so I can just do all the upgrades here.  It will need a little more work when done but it would at least keep most everything here intact.  

I think this can be done so the plan is to give it a try.  This site is backed up, and I've made a new clone of it just in case it's needed for reference.  I'll let everyone know ahead of time when the chaos begins lol.  

 

Getting ready to start on main site change over here, things may get messy for a little while...  

Well that wasn't so bad.  It's not done yet but if anyone sees a problem it would help a lot if you could tell me about it in here.  

The nice thing is that all the information, posts, etc, were saved. 

Known Problems -

No forum links on Megamenu
No Forum link on hamburger (small screen menu)
Shoutbox won't work
Downloads section doesn't work  (still waiting for new software update)
Need to work on smileys


Things to do - (mostly a list for me to do)

Add date + time module at top
Fix shoutbox
Keep up with downloads software peeps
Add smileys
Get forum link on side menu
Get forum link under WHS parts
Get forum links in Megamenu
Style shoutbox colors



I'll cross off things above as they are done.  

There is a lot of other styling to do but most of that is in my head.



 

Looks like most of the site is working and a lot of things just got crossed off the list this morning.  I'm gonna try some darker colors for the background today, it's pretty bright and is hard on the eyes after sitting in front of it for awhile...  

Personally I like the (invert colors) on the accessibility popout but it makes the avatars and top bar look ugly lol. 

Shoutbox is back up thanks to Lodder.    He is the guy in the UK who made it.  I'll work on getting some smileys in there today and a few other things.

Ok, maybe I went a little overboard on the new shoutbox smileys,,,  but they are all animated and so cooool!  


I'll try to get to the new forum ones this weekend.
