First!

[Steve]

Seeing how thrilling it is for folks to do this at NewsOK, I've always wondered how this would become a life changing experience for me to do as well. And seeing as there was an opportunity to be the first to post a new thread "post OKC Talk apocolypse," I jumped at the chance.
Sadly, I'm not noticing any new greatness to my life with this posting. Maybe if I wait a few minutes....

Maybe that is because you weren't the first, I was. I posted a new thread in the Politics section 19 minutes before you. Since then I have won 2 state lottery jackpots, found a gold coin in the yard, and learned that my nemesis in high school is a down and out California real-estate agent.

BTW – thanks Pete.

I really appreciate your patience throughout all this... Believe me, our problems and down time was not due to lack of effort or trying to spare expense.

Because the new version of vBulletin is so different, this turned into not so much an upgrade but a complete conversion. So, we have lots of things to clean up, such as the graphics, page numbering, getting the webcam feeding correctly again, getting the browser warnings removed, etc.

The irony is that it wasn't vBulletin that caused this mess... It was an add-in that is now disabled. A hole in that add-in allowed hackers to redirect requests to a site that had the virus.

I decided to go ahead and go through the painful conversion anyway, since it would need to be done eventually. We had to undo lots of little snags around the original install of this site which is why it took so long. Plus, this site has tons of data to convert.


Anyway, the worst is behind us and I've learned a lot in the process. Should make it easier to finally do some enhancements I've been working on for a while.

I know all to well the painful process of data conversions. My new website is slowly coming together. I ran into a snag with uploading new data. I had to write a work-around for the solution. It takes effort!
