Hi guys!

As cozy as these VBulletin forums are, we're moving to a fancy new forum platform. The 1.36 deploy thread is my very first venture into this Brave New World. Hope to see you all there!

Any chance you can post a road map so we can find where they're posted without starting at a link or one of your blog posts?

TY, Lil.

The road map is the ninja kind! There are very dark links on the top of the blog page over the SL hand. Push the Browse link and then Communities on the little menu. That is the forum list. The one for restarts is called "UPGRADE - The Release Team Blog", it is in the Technology area.

Ah, so instead of an open exchange of whatever might be of interest, it's commenting on blog posts? The thrill, it overwhelms.

I hope I'm wrong.

There is no way to start a new topic in your area.. :( How can we have discussions when we can't start a topic?

Let me rephrase this for you, Lil.

From: someone
As cozy as these VBulletin forums are, I'm going to join my fellow Lindens by posting news as Blog entries with associated discussion thread.
You and M appear to share the same confusion ... the Blog area is not a forum, because residents cannot start threads there.

Does this mean you're going to be the next CEO?

:rolleyes:

Thanks - was thinking it was me that was being dumb - thought I must be missing something.

The blogs are completely useless for the sorts of question and answer threads that we get here - blogs are for news, or maybe in Linden Labs' case more for controlling what the topics of the news are!

Lil, would it be possible to let the moderating staff there know that this is going on? There are a couple of Lindens over there still shutting down discussion threads and directing everyone to take their discussions over to here!

This is very clearly a case of the right hand having no clue what the left hand is doing.

The new "platform" is crap.

Thanks for destroying our cozy home. Keep up the good work.

In response to all the forum feedback, I just ask that you guys give it a chance, -and- some time. We've got some smart people working on the platform, and they are listening to your feedback.

In the mean time, if there's anything we can do to better facilitate information for Rolling Restarts, please let me know. One idea that's been kicked around is having Office Hours at a pilot region during the rolling restarts.

It's been in beta for 8 months and we've seen none of the feedback we gave last summer addressed. There used to be a poll option there but it got removed. There used to be a Report Abuse thingie there but it got removed. It's hard to navigate. It's buggy. It's what Nika says below.

How much patience should we have before we declare it to be crap?

Pre-Lil, who is a he and not a she, I suggested several times that LL makes a web feed (or something) available that would give scripts or offline tools enough info to *guess* when a given region would be restarted.

I guess this would require the type of roll you're doing, even/odds vs everything-goes-tonight!; what number you're on and the average/mean time that it's taking to do one region. And, of course, which one you're interested in.

/me acknowledges that this probably could never provide more than a low-resolution time of when you expect a region to get restarted but it would be a step in the right direction.

I'm curious, do you know if anyone internal to LL is working on it? I ask because of the glacial response to Jiras for SLA and the Commerce Forums. I've been assuming that Jive is handling all that for you, and thus we can only expect changes when they do releases.

Lil, be aware that except for SLA (where discussions are very limited) and the Commerce forums, there is no place on the site now where residents can start threads. So, from our standpoint, when this area is shut down later today, there will be no LL forums.

*shrugs* Your World, Your Administration.

The cynical and crabby side of me is soooo tempted to point out that the clearspace product itself is dead. It's never going to get a new release.

Maybe they want us to stop gathering here and started meeting up more in-world...? :confused:
