For a non-techie I hope I can figure it out.

Me to, trying to make it easier and not harder.
I know there will be a little bit of "how do I do this now" as there are some nuances between the platforms. However concepts are still the same.... and I'm always open to feedback. There will be a dedicated section the first few weeks to track issues, suggestions and to explain some of the differences. If you like, I'm more than happy to walk you through it.

It’s different but I think everyone is going to like it. I also think it’s a great improvement just give yourself time to learn the new sight.
Sully and Steve, thanks for all the time you guys have spent on this update. Just to let everyone know they have spent some long nights working on it. -
Quick update - Steve found a bug in the site yesterday. I'm working through that today. If that bug persist, we may have to move the migration date. I'm working through that today.

I’m going to consolidate all the “fear of change†posts ahead of time.

OH NOES!:cryin::incazzato:

Ok, with that out of the way all subsequent or future gripes are rendered void.
Best of luck with this - I know it’s a huge effort, and people may grumble at first, but we have confidence in you, and Thanks for all your hard work!

I was going to say the same thing. :lol::lol::lol: -
So, I’ve been working on the site and the bug. We made some progress but we are not there yet. So I’m calling it off. I will have an update tomorrow regarding next steps.
Let me know if you have any questions - -

And I don't think I was even the first to notice it.
I'd also like to point out that this sort of setback is incredibly frustrating to Josh (Sully), but he doesn't show it or complain while he's been forced to devote far more time and energy to this project than he could possibly have imagined.
It's a significant design change not being done just for the sake of change but to make things work better. It's sort of like buying a new car even though you love the old one because it's just getting too difficult to maintain. In the end, though you miss your beloved old car the new one ends up making up for it through low maintenance and improved function and creature comfort...hopefully. -
Thanks Steve - great summary. Ultimately, this change should keep many of the things we really like about the current platform while providing new functionality, ease of use and stability. To Steve's comments, there are some differences but I really do think it will be good overall once we all get used to the new platform. So far we have had a few members who have jumped on the test site and provided good feedback and pretty positive comments.
It's been a lot of work and it will be even post migration for a few weeks. That said, if anyone wants to see it in advance let me know. I'll be more than happy to walk you through it personally. Its a great time to do this and provide feedback in advance. Every time someone new see's it their feedback helps me understand better what is important and how each member is using certain functionality etc.
Regarding the revised date of the migration, I'm still working with the team on this. Schedules are busy this time of year which is causing some difficulty.
As always, love the feedback and let me know if you have any questions!
