I'll make a new thread to grab peoples's attention but yeah if people could log in using their TLS username and password to start poking around that would be great.
Biggest issues to resolve so far for going live:
- User permissions. Nearly every post needed mod approval, I have removed this for any user with the primary usergroup "registered user", "super moderator" and obviously, Administrator (even Yop's posts needed mod approval yesterday, weird shit). I've already explained this above. So far I've given "can post without mod approval" to the majority of usergroups, but this is something that'll need to be fixed BEFORE the move, and it's time consuming. Essentially I'll be making everyone a generic usergroup and then adjusting permissions after the move (so Admin - Mod - User). We'll then need to establish a new ladder. I have all this written down.
- The issue is essentially that some of our boards have bespoke permissions (specific usergroups have access to specific boards) and not all of that translates well but for the most part it's OK, it's just a tickbox exercise and RSI prone activity for the mods and admins post move
- The styling is basically done for default but obviously criticism will be accepted. Keep in mind it's not going to look absolutely amazing because I've been building/ tweaking it at nights with some custom CSS and some Yop (thank you so much darling), but it's better to be functional. We can build additional custom styles in future which can be switched on the fly.
- Be forthcoming with suggestions and I'll make a survey to prioritise what we want changed/ added etc.
