So they ruined SDN again.

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

The site used to crash at least once every 10 days. If this is more stable, I'll take it.

Really? They must fix it past because I can only remember one crash since I've been here.

Every night at 5AM, they did a maintenance thing. I can't even have my full location info anymore. I'm currently from Montgome, apparently. Booo! Everyone boo the admins. Boooooooo!

You know that the pay is has little to do with being busy as with rarity of the experience/credential/skill. An anesthesiologist who snooze through an operation is paid 2-3x the amount of an hospitalist who sees 40 patients a day. 😉

There is work, and there is honest work. 🙂

Just saying, after residency and DOP of a 60+ bed community hospital, my current job... I can handle it with a hand tied behind my back.

I hate all this white in the new formatting. It looks like the site isn't done loading and is hard on my 20 something year old eyes.
 
At least the last time they changed it, you could ignore the change by switching back to "classic." I don't see that feature anymore. Also whats up with 20 post/page?
 
At least now when viewing threads we can see member names (instead of member numbers) without having to sign in.
That is a small step in the right direction.

Course now my avatar got chopped on all sides- looks lousy.
 
Looks too busy/really ugly, kind of annoying to look at, spending less time on the site. Is this not vBulletin anymore? SDN cheap out or something? Maybe I should have donated, haha.

Sometimes, I think about being able to do this job at 16
 
How do you subscribe to a thread now? I can't find the option for that with this new formatting..

I like how SDN try to change with new feature 'like'..however, with this many system crash and errors, it's No-Go.

Is that why they keep having errors? It's like it works for a day, then it doesn't work for a day, then it works for a day...

Yes, the production database has been giving us some challenges not seen in beta testing. We've got some database pros working on it - we should have things fast and stable again in the next few days. Thanks for your patience.

The systems were different enough that it wasn't convertible. If you need to see what you were tracking previously, let me know and I'll send you a link to your old account.

If I mail you a $25 gift card to Chipotle, will you put the old software back?

Because this **** gives me emotional hemorrhoids. It wont kill me, but, seriously...it can go to hell. Make it stop existing.

Also, I would be fine with this putrid crap if you added a "dislike" function. The joy I would get out of that would easily override several of the losses.

I am happy to fix things if given specifics. What issues are you having?

IRT site speed and stability: These issues will be resolved next week when we install a new database server. If you recall (being a 10 year member), it took months to resolve similar load issues in the past. I wish we had staff of experts that can do sophisticated pre-deployment load testing, but SDN staff is nearly all volunteers with just a few part-time support staff. While I did significant testing ahead of conversion, some of the database issues currently being encountered did not show-up until the forums went to a production environment.

IRT returning to vBulletin 3.8 - the SDN forum platform needed to be upgraded because vBulletin 3.8 was way beyond EOL and we needed a platform that was being supported and maintained.

In one of the posts above you mention the backups that run around 5 AM. That's been the case for like 5 years - it's not new. Fortunately, when the new server is put into production, the site probably will not require the 5 AM downtime or it will be significantly shorter.

vBulletin 4.20 is smokin fast.......
 
I tested vB 4 a few years ago - it was OK, but not better than vB 3.8. vB 5 is rotten.

Where do I start. Not enough space in the location field for my full life story anymore. It's ugly and whiter than a Dave Mathews Band concert. I also miss my couch burning gif in my sig.

I miss the old one.

Have you tried the old school style? It's down in the left corner.

I'm pretty sure the mods dragged Z back to make the forums worth visiting

Also I'm too lazy to research why my SDN app isn't working anymore... someone get on that

It did not stop working - I'm using it to post this. Try removing it and download again from the App Store - you might have an old version.

Well, nuts. Sorry. 🙁

I'll keep working on the forums and hopefully you'll like the final product.

Quick observation...the link to the pharmacy forum under the "forum" drop down menu on the home page appears to be broken. It takes you to http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forums/121/ while it appears the new address is http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forums/pharmacy.122/

It's obviously not a huge deal and probably low on the problem list, but I just wanted to let you guys know in case it hadn't been pointed out before.

Edit: actually it looks like that's an issue with the links to all of the forums.

P.S. I think the new forum is grand. Keep up the good work!
