Will threads/posts/PMs be preserved or is the whole site starting from scratch?
The threads posts and pm's will be moved over to the new site same with post count

In addition to what Feralvr said, you can also add thumbnail albums that can show your kitties.

I have to admit, I get very nervous when it comes to changes in my daily routine
! Maia will be very upset when she finds out her siggy pic is in TCS Limbo
.
I hope I can post the Daily Trivia without to much challenge, Chey doesn't like challenge first thing in the morning

Shame the gifts are going
I was just getting enough points to start sending some
But never mind as we will be able to post pics without resizing them
Yay more pics from me then

Oh and a spell check

I am sure when we all get used to it we will love it just the same as we do now

People can put their siggy banners in their Community Profile (User Profile Wallpaper Image) or in an album with a thumbnail in their siggy. It's also possible to cut them down to size (square) and use them as avatars.

A lot of the Arcade games are available on other sites - I googled Mahjong Connect and found the same version of the game (for free) elsewhere, and it works even better at the other site. I could never get past the third stage here, and there I usually get to at least the sixth.

AFAIK, TCS will be offline most or all of tomorrow. Any announcement will be on the official TCS Facebook page. You don't have to belong to FB to view it.

I'm going to miss the gifts, too; I always thought they were such a neat idea. But we shall deal and sooner or later we'll get used to all the new things.

rotating avatars give me a headache, I hope many people don't use that feature, you see there is no pleasing me, lol. Can you tell I dislike change. If it works don't fix it is my motto.


See you all on Nov. 2

On the new site you can hide avatars if you don't want to see them.
See, no headache.

You know it's strange....I've had problems in this site a lot over the past year and it's one of the reasons I don't come in as much, it just takes too long to do anything in here. But everything is working just fine and fast, today.

I will volunteer to monitor the live chat portion, since there is no chance anyone would want me to use it
, wait then why would you let me moderate it

I think that would be a great way to "monitor" the live chat feature
. I will be taking a screenshot(s) of my gifts as well
. Thank you for reminding me
.

Lastly, will we have the same choice of wonderful Icons on the new platform?

I use firefox, which includes spell check. I didn't think anyone used IE any more. Shows how much I know.

So now I won't get to see avatars either, since I dislike rotating avatars and probably everyone else will think they "cute" and want to use them. Bletch.

OK, so let me get this straight - The site hasn't been performing well, so you don't visit often, but now it will perform well and you won't visit because everything little thing about it will annoy you?


I'd also like to point out that when the points and gifts were implemented there was a similar outcry from all about how much they hated them, etc.


I'm sure this conversion is going to be a bit of a bumpy ride at first, but we'll eventually all come out the other side just fine. Sure, we're all nervous, the members, the Mods and the rest of the Team as well. I'm willing to bet no one is more nervous than Anne is right about now though. This is her baby and she's at the beginning of the rollercoaster ride. All we can do is ride along beside her and get through to the end.

I know I know, like I said, there is no pleasing me.


But what's the point of a thread like this if we can't express our fears and concerns, you know?


(for the record, the trouble with the site is only one of the reasons I've been scarce)
