The right way to do upgrades!


Website Feedback

I just want to complement the web team on their ability to do relatively painless upgrades to the forum software, especially in light of what's going on over on the WotC forums right now.

I'm not an active user over there, but I do have an account. A few days ago, I got an email saying there was going to be an upgrade in 3 days, and all posts from the two weeks prior would be lost. Additionally, the "upgrade" apparently (based on skimming the feedback thread) removed a whole host of features, broke many pre-existing posts' formatting, and is rife with bugs and questionable design decisions.

In contrast, the last major upgrade to the Paizo forums preserved all existing content, added new functionality without removing anything, and had a minimal set of bugs which were quickly resolved.

So, thank you for handling everything so well!

I had that thought.

Thanks, we're trying really hard to improve stuff around here without breaking old things. It's harder than it might look sometimes....

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

... which is why it deserves the praise. Keep up the good work!
