About the missing forums - Update Monday 3/27

[Brock Beauchamp]

They're here, they're coming, the system just has them held in limbo until it finishes re-indexing all 3.4m posts. This should be resolved by mid-day tomorrow, by my estimation.

Update: Well, this is taking forever. We may not see the old/new forums pop up until Tuesday. I wish I had more granular control over background processes, but I don't. What has happened is that the system has prioritized indexing all (now up to) 3.8m posts, pushing the individual forum changes I made to the end of the queue. So it has decided that it must reindex all those posts before it will let me touch any of the individual forums.

Patiently waiting…

Maybe I'm in the minority here, and I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but I'm not a fan of not having a separate forum for transactions. During this time of year, the trade deadline, and the offseason, I was constantly checking the transactions forum.

I also lean toward rolling them into the Cubs forum but will leave the decision to all of you. Maybe we'll put it to a vote at some point, no need to really think about it much for a couple of months.

I liked the "Active Topics" Forum. It was a great warehouse for recently updated threads, no matter which forum it was posted in.

Really want that back.

Anxiously awaiting the return of the General Discussion forum so I can go into the movie thread to say "Tetris was a lot of fun"

You now have access.

I don't like that new people cannot get access to the social forum. I kind of get why, you don't want to expose anyone who may be slightly nutty to the rest of us nuts. However, it's good to give everyone access. We might have a new Cubs fan who also loves to talk about Star Wars or movies, etc. The social forum is what's held this place together through the lean years.

This solution isn't permanent, it's a byproduct of some back-end technical stuff not working properly yet.

Was going to ask about this as well, what's the procedure?

See the social forum now, thanks.
