Official AO Update Thread / Discussion Thread

[RST]

Hopefully this week we will shut down, download the current data and come back up on the new platform.

Seems like the Mayas were right with the "End Of The World" in the end of this week.
And it will be reborn better than ever before!

now THATS funny

I have never figured out why you need an "app" to view a forum.
Maybe if you are still on 2G or 3G.
I'd rather look at the full webpage than a mobile "half there" page.
But LTE is fairly fast.

The apps like ForumRunner or Tapatalk are actual native applications. You see everything you're supposed to see on the handset - images, links, etc. But it does it in a fashion that make using a mobile device easier (pulls out the forum theme and what not).

I do have a lot of Android apps, but I have no use for forum apps.
I just go to the full web page.
LTE is as fast as my business class roadrunner, if not faster sometimes.

Well not everyone uses/is able to use LTE

In my area I'm lucky if I get a 3G signal, because most of the time it's 1x. And when I do get the little 3G emblem on my phone I think it's just a gimmick because it's never as fast here as when I visit some large metro area.

Even MetroPCS has a bigger LTE footprint in this area than Sprint.
T-Mobile has their 42mbps HSPA+ up around here.
Neither Tmo nor Metro work well in the metal building where I work so I switched to the death star AT&T and now no problems.

You really do get what you pay for when it comes to carriers.

They are telling me monday is the target date for change over.

Here we go.
A holiday at home and bored with no AO.

[knownothingmags]

no pics working?

[Bunny]

Finally.... I was getting really bored at work.

[Dayspring]

If you need help with turning stuff like Forumrunner and what not on (as well as the hidden question on the reg page so you can start using free addresses like Gmail again) please let me know. I'm free to help.

[going_home]

Yay we back !

[knownothingmags]

so animated smileyes not supported?
or is that something that still needs to be turned on?

[Chrome]

Glad to see the new forum up and running. I will have to remember to log in whenever I stop by from now on to use some of the new features - thank you for allowing signatures to be turned off in my viewing profile!

Humbly, might I request that sometime once all the working bits are back running, if someone could help me figure out how to darken the whole forum up (as in get rid of all of the eye strain inducing glaring white background) I would really appreciate it!

Thanks again TK and in particular everyone who invested some hard-earned money to make this happen.
