For those of us who haven't been to the beta site, what will we need to do when we switch? Do we need to remember our current passwords?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'd rather not wait and see if the upgrades break everything.
What do we all need to do to help makes things ready for the switch over? Do you need coding help/designing help?
Who has the skills (all I know it is not me)?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Just out of ignorant curiosity, what happens to this board after the switch? Do we abandon the URL, row away and watch her sink into the abyss? Or just move out and let the mice take over?

Pretty sure the URL stays the same. It's just a question of new code.

Things may not break. Dreamhost is upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 which means updates to PHP and MySQL (the software that runs the site). The code is pretty old so it might break, but it also may be okay.
It should be the same URL. You'll be able to use your current login, but you'll be forced to reset your password (you don't have to change it, but the reset is still required). If you don't know your password.... I'm not sure. There is a 'forgot my password' feature, but that may not be an option during the reset. I might need to make than an option.

Okay, thanks. Enlightenment is good!

The last couple of times I tried to reset my password haven't worked. Fortunately my cookies remember.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I just successfully reset my password.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hi, DreamHoster!
Your host machine, has just been upgraded to Ubuntu Linux version 18.04.1 LTS (aka Bionic Beaver)!
Everything appears to be in order on our side of things! As a reminder, this only affects the host machine your VPS runs on - we'll be upgrading your VPS at a later date (we'll let you know!).
If you'd like to start preparing now for the eventual VPS upgrade (especially if you are using Ruby, Python, or run a site that relies heavily on specific server packages), we strongly recommend reading through the page below for known changes that may affect you:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our technical support team. They're trained and ready to help with any upgrade-related questions or concerns:

Thanks very much for allowing us to modernize your DreamHost experience! THE FUTURE IS NOW!
