LTT Forums 2.0

[iamdarkyoshi]

So as most of you should be aware of by now, tomorrow, the 30th, these forums will (in theory) be going down. For good. And being replaced with the NEW forum software! Details can be found here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/537012-planned-outage-30th-january-2016
 
Anyway, I would like to give a huge thank you to the whole team who have all been working on the new software for absolutely ages. Many bugs were squished, many changes have been made, lots of stuff has been tweaked to perfection and it will all-around be a huge step towards a better forum (especially on mobile!)
 
So hopefully the transition goes smoothly tomorrow, this is my thank you and good luck to the team in charge.

Just one question, do we get to keep post count and likes?

Yes, I wont spoil it (as someone else probably will), but we will have something even better than likes

yes and yes, however likes will be stored under "legacy likes" as a new system will be put in place

Just don't get rid of the dark theme or I won't be using the forums until there's a way to get one

The dark theme stays now, even when you use mobile!

I prefer this style of forum, the new one looks like the Microsoft forum designed for people who don't know how to use a mouse. Just my 2 cents!

 

The like system will turn into a really big war, and users will be upset. User 1 hates User 2, so User 2 dislikes  User 1s post. User 3 hates User 1 for disliking User 2s post... ect.

 

I've used many forums with a reputation style like this, and it never ends well. You get a lot of up-tight users who think they're the greatest and above all.

The dislikes have been removed.

Oh wow really? Great! That makes it a whole lot better.

It's dangerous to assume that things will actually go smoothly and not result in us rolling back to this version while we fix things
