Thanks for checking it out.
Yeah, there are a number of bugs to fix and there are some more parts of the perl script I need to translate over to my ruby migration script. I totally overlooked a couple of things I probably should have tried to get into this test.
Overall, I feel pretty good about this first test. It didn't take very long to go from the b.org database to the beta database. The tricky part is that the generated seed file was too bit to load in one go on the VM so I broke it up into 265 seed files and ran them sequentially.
I'm hoping that having a bunch of content on the beta board now will make trying it out easier. Registering as a brand new user is also perfectly functional.
If any admins want to edit/create static pages (FAQs, Etiquette, How-To, etc...) on the beta site, feel free to do so. I can save them off before the next database reset. It's in the 'Pages' section of the Admin Portal.
New feature on the beta board. If you go to your profile settings and select 'View' you can turn on the left sidebar. The left sidebar will disappear when the browser window gets too small for it.
I updated the front page with Jessica's unanimously approved text.
Thanks, Jon. I normally open to the Message Center so I hadn't seen the change. Shiny!
No problemo. By the way, there was no similar text on our Registration page, but if there's somewhere else it should go, please let me know!
The beta board has been updated with the ability to hold votes. I also added a proposal for testing it out.
When there is an open proposal a green button will appear in the main view. If you click on the button there will be a list of active proposals and when they expire. If you have not voted on a proposal, the there will be a vote button. If you have voted on a proposal then you will see the current tally.
For admins, there is now a 'Proposals' section where you can see proposals, create new ones, edit proposals, open or close proposals, and delete proposals.
On the beta board, how about including the year in the time Stamps?
The year is included now.
Next, I'm moving onto finishing up migration.
If anyone sees other stuff to fix, let me know.
