it's a beautiful bikini bottom day!
So basically everyone assumed that "The portions of the site that have already been redesigned are under the www1 subdomain, and those that are not are operating on older code" meant "we fixed it all already which is why it's getting moved over"? Because they never mentioned getting the forum search would be working on this round of optimization. The pings taking you directly to the post (which is AMAZING, I don't even care about forum search not working as long as I can find exactly where I was pinged) and forum subscriptions getting disabled were the two listed changes that users would notice. Next up is apparently something about the actual forum posts themselves. It's pretty clear if you read the community update that they're fixing individual things in stages.
Ya'll have none of my sympathy for getting your hopes up.
im just getting sick of how long it takes to fix ****ing anything. really sick of it all. thats all. and yes, i did sort of think that it meant wed have like completely new shiny non ugly forums but ok w/e i guess
