Hi! Maybe you've noticed but the software on this message board is starting to show it's age. So, we've purchased a more modern software to replace it.
Do to complications in transferring the forums over to the new software, I've had to rely on some help. Luckily, they've been able to transfer a lot (except for polls and private messages).
Unfortunately, that transfer happened December 11th, 2012. So any posts being made since then, including anyone made from now on, will not be in the new Legion World forums without being re-posted once it's open.
I still need to personalize the site and learn the software before it goes live. But, I just want everyone to know that the posts that you make now are not going to be recorded on the new site.
When the time comes, this site will be temporarily archived so that any PMs or other information can be transferred over or accessed or saved. There will be another announcement and a date given when we will no longer have the UBB.Classic version of the boards available.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

OMG ... It's being rebooted ... posts since the 11th are not in continuity !
I've never been more excited in all of my life.
It's a Crisis of December 11th.
C.O.D.E. CODE.
That's way better than COIE. How do you pronounce that?!?!
Does this mean we can be as obnoxious as we want since these posts will be lost?!?!?!??!!
(I'm working on it already. Just need a few more ?s and !s)

I'm trying to decide whether I should go wild and crazy with posts now, knowing that I can be completely unrestrained since nothing I post will make it into the retrobooted board, or whether I should save up for a massive post party on the Legion World 2.0.

I hear their cry of longing
So they come to Legion World

Very slick!
Just poking around a bit, it looks there will probably be a bit of a learning curve with how to do some things we've gotten used to.
Some tags, for instance (bolding, centering, italics) seem to be a bit erratic with how they migrated over, but nothing earth-shattering.
Looking forward to getting the hang of the place.
Thanks, Nighty!

I don't know if you are soliciting feedback yet, Nighty, on noted issues (perhaps this is already something that will be addressed during customization), but - while doing some post clean up for tags, I noticed that there is a 10,000 character limit for posts.
As some of the "Bits" posts would routinely be well above that limit, could this be increased? Thanks in advance.

I still need to run a script that will do that. Sorry guys, but I'm starting a new position at work while still doing my old one and just don't have a lot of free time to devote to this atm, but I also don't want to half-ass it either. I was showing the new forum as a way to show there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but it'll probably be January that I actually switch us over (as I'll need all of my vacation time to try and work on this). The problems with porting over forced my hand sooner than I was ready.

And no problem, man... the tag clean up was just me being anal retentive with my own posts by way of getting familiar with things.
I understand what a mammoth task this is, so no worries.

Minor thing then - can you switch the dates to say (e.g.) "December 11, 2012" rather than 12-11-2012? The latter looks like the 12th of November to me (and probably all other UK Legion Worlders). Originally posted by Nightcrawler:
Since you've already found the place, I'll let the others play there if they prefer,... I just guessed the URL, but afterward I checked and Mr. Google had found it too. Originally posted by Nightcrawler:
The problems with porting over forced my hand sooner than I was ready. You definitely can't redo it? It seems like there's a LOT of stress for you caused by the fact that it's Been Done and we'll lose something like a month's worth of posts - if you could do a new transfer, then you could simply take as long as you need.

I'm fine with however long it takes.
One thing I noticed though:
We seem to have lost five members on the new board.

The VB guy that manages the importing tool also had numerous issues due to the age and modding of this board (and he knows what he is doing). The last port he did, gave us the most we both thought was possible and I made the decision that it was the best place to stop. This wasn't an easy process that can be repeated whenever I want to. The month worth of posts can be re-posted manually. There's also a hack that I can use to rewrite the authors and the dates, if I have to move it all over myself. I'll look at the date when I get home.

Remember remember the twelfth of November!!!

I really like the new version of the website. I especially like the addition of Groups.

I'll look into it.
Ah...vBulletin doesn't have the concept of log in vs. public usernames. Most people's names have been converted to their public name. Try that and let me know if there's still an issue.
I'll be looking into hacking the board to allow separate public names, but for now that's the way it is.

Don't know if you're looking for feedback, but the search function in Firefox places the typed characters in an invisible font. The search also threw me a DB error the first time I tried it and and took a long time to respond the second.

Right now just assume it'll get done by the time we switch over and then if it's not please let me know. I looked for Search features yesterday to make changes and haven't found where that's at yet. I'm still learning how to deal with PHP and databases, so hopefully it'll not be too bad when we go live.

Just had a similar and slightly-more-informative message at LegionWiki:
Legion Wiki has a problem
Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.
(Can't contact the database server: User legionwo_wikiuse already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections (localhost))
Looks like it may be a plain-and-simple capacity issue, since nuLWorld and LWiki share a database, yes? That bodes ill... Originally posted by Power Boy: I can't seem to log into the new site ...
Because the site isn't loading, or because you're trying to log in as "disaster boy" rather than "Power Boy"?

Okay, that box in the top right is... big. It looks like it's intended for use with a great big ad banner to its left, which leaves a LOT of dead space there (gone from 80px to the bottom of the blue bar to 177px. When you're on a netbook, that makes a BIG difference). Is there any need for the avatar in particular to be there? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.legionworld.net/upload/00000051/DeadSpace.gif) Also, it takes away the link to the settings page (usercp.php), let alone one that doesn't require a dropdown to get to. And while I'm <strike>moaning</strike> giving feedback , going from 60 PM threads of up to 21 posts to 50 PM posts is a big drop!

In my opinion we should all hold off on kibitzing and making a lather about the new site until at least IT'S ACTUALLY READY TO GO! Make sense? It'll be up when it's up, and it'll eventually be the greatest thing ever. Nighty is already the greatest site owner we could ever ask for, and I'm sure the transition will eventually work itself out! Meanwhile, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, everyone!

Guys, might I suggest we all back the heck off and let Nighty do his thang? When he's ready to drop it in place for us, and he's had a chance to catch his breath, then maybe we can start giving him some feedback? Man's doin a helluva lotta work right now. Lets all chill a bit.

Just an FYI, the host of the site is migrating us to a new server over the next couple of days. So, you may encounter situations in which the website doesn't load.
Hopefully, it'll happen quickly and painlessly, if you notice any problems, please let me know.

I thought that all Legion Worlders and their posts had already been broken down into their little atoms and moved. They were all counted by Shrinking Violet & Brainy, so that they all reassembled seamlessly in the shiny, new server. Well, possibly second hand McCauley Omni-Server, but still...you probably didn't even notice*.
*McCauley Omni-Servers takes no responsibility for any sudden evil impulses as a result of you being reconstituted on the new server.

Not a new board and nothing on my end.
The host site was moving us/moved us? I'm still not sure as nothing seems to be screwed up yet.

When I read the thread title I was concerned. Now I am just confused. Meanwhile, the theme song to "The Jeffersons" is rocking out in my head.

Sorry, everyone, I didn't read the date of the thread so I assumed it was in progress. I normally don't scroll down this far on the index.
