Title: WELCOME TO CELTICSSTRONG
Post by: byennie on September 21, 2018, 05:09:45 PM
We made it to the other side.

Enormous thanks to Jeff Clark, SbNation and VOX Media for coordinating with me to make this all possible.

Bottomless TPs to everyone who has contributed real $$ so that we can have some funds behind it.

Huge shout out to all our mods that make this forum run on the human side.

Please use this thread to report any issues you are seeing with the new site, but generally it should be business as usual. I'll try to address anything major ASAP, and over the next days/weeks continue with fixes and enhancements to things like YouTube, avatars, attachments, etc.

Email notifications should work again already =).

Awesome, Byennie.  We all owe you a huge debt of gratitude for making this transition happen.

I'm looking forward to helping with the new site.

TP to Byennie for all of the hard work. Seems fine so far, and as long as the community stays strong, this website should be around for a long time.

Cheers.

Thanks for the hard work fellas. byennie you are the man!

Just curious as to what happens to the SB Nation Celtics website that was Celticsblog.com?

This really looks like an exact replica.  Has anything on the user end changed?

A couple of things I tested:

TPs stil limited to 1 per hour (for non-mods), was kinda hoping that slipped through the cracks.  I was going to go on a TP rampage!

Still can't embed YouTube videos (not complaining)

I believe for now the old site was pretty much copied over to the new site.

Over the coming weeks, byennie will be fixing some of our broken features, and adding enhancements.

Noticed that the big logo on the upper left does not direct, when clicked, to the main (index) page when you are in one of the forum topics. Not sure if that is by design. If it is, please disregard my post.

But I thought it was just an old version at first.  Then I noticed the different domain.

So is SBNation going to let us leave the link in permanently from Celticsblog?  If so it is literally as transparent as it gets.

Great job with the transition!  I've been a CelticsBlog lurker for almost twelve years, and with the new season approaching, I was disappointed to learn the site was soon to disappear.  So far, the new version of the site seems even faster.  Special thanks for keeping the basic look of the old site; the site's appearance should be as (mostly) consistent as that of the team's uniforms through the years!

Kudos to all who made this happen, especially @byennie  ;D

Sorry guys for not being able to help much recently (including with fundraiser and such). A relative of mine actually passed away about 10 days ago and so I went with family to a funeral. But it's abroad since most of my family and relatives all live away too and so time zones are all switched (day in America = night here, vice versa).

I'll be willing to donate money and such whenever needed in the future for sure though! Or if it's still happening.

So is SBNation going to let us leave the link in permanently from Celticsblog?  If so it is literally as transparent as it gets.

This has been one of my big questions all along. I almost always go to the CB 'main' page before clicking on the forums; if the link disappears, then there will be a great reduction in my visits to CB. It seems like it would make a lot of sense for SB nation to leave that link up to keep as much traffic as possible. If that is the plan, a link to CB from CS would only be fair.

Anyway, awesome job byennie! If I hadn't bee unable to access the forums yesterday afternoon, then I would have no idea anything changed at all. And I agree with others - the speed! This was really quite an undertaking and it can't be understated how much all of us appreciate your efforts! Many TPs to come (which probably will seem quite paltry to nick's auto 2500 TPs  :P )

Just out of curiosity, but are we going to need a new logo?  I'd imagine Vox media must have some sort of copyright on the CB logo.

Maybe we could have an open contest to see who designs the best new logo.

I was going to mention this earlier in the day. It seems people who already had avatars now have slightly bigger, blurrier ones and yours seems to be the biggest standout. Hope you stick with Beavis, though - still one of my fave shows of all-time.

On the top left part of the page (under the old logo), you will see a  little house, followed by 'Celticstrong' - if you click on that link, it will bring you to all the forum topics/subjects. Same as before  :D

Thanks! TP! I've always used the "Forums" link on the top banner back on old Celtics Blog to just regain access to the "home page" of Celtics Forum and take myself around. Learn something new every day!  ;D

Back at ya! All of these drastic changes are enough to make your head spin. I barely even recognize the place anymore! :P

Do you have a menu on the right-hand side that has options for Home, Search, Profile, etc.?

Just click "Home" and that should take you to the main forums page.

Really love this new version of the forums.

Just a quick note that there are some minor issues with logging in. The "stay logged in forever" option does not seem to work.

Also, I (and from what I read here and on FB, some other ppl too) had some trouble logging in despite using the correct password. I got over it by going to the Index and signing in from there- I'm as positive as possible that I had used the correct password in the unsuccessful log in attempts.

Were they told that they had the wrong password, or did they get a "timed out" error?

I've gotten the latter at a couple of points.

I am having trouble with my avatar. I shrunk it to 75 x 75 pixels at the resize site. Then uploaded it to imgur.com and got a url. Have put it into the avatar area and checked get avatar from url but nothing happens. I have done it three separate times with no results. Any suggestions?

I don't recall the exact phrasing unfortunately.

I was repeatedly asked to insert my password. Once I did, I was taken back to the same screen with the username inserted but the password part blanked out.

Speaking possible bugs, I just got this one after hitting "post". Nothing was actually posted.

Shrink it a little more to 65x65.

I got that from LarBrd33, and it worked for me.

I don't think 65x65 is a hard rule.  Someone else is using an avatar that is 57x80... so you can play around with it, but that's what I know works.

Originally I was the guy with the 57x80 dimensions.  But what I did was a lot of trial and error.  Started with 65x65 per LarBrd's advice and that worked.  But my pic is more of a rectangle than a square so I didn't think it looked right, so I just kept adjusting from that 65x65 starting point to figure out what would work and what wouldn't.

Start with 65x65 though.

Of the people with working avatars I see in this thread:

bdm860: 57x80
Roy H.: 57x80
jambr380: 65x65
fairweatherfan: 45x65
LarBrd33: 65x65
JSD: 48x48
BitterJim: 65x65
jpotter33: 64x80
BringToughnessBack: 65x65
Redz: 57x80
positivitize: 60x53

greece666: 371x371

So far I've noticed that the small sidebar (where it says "Hello! Guest") was broken for login. It seemed to be hacked up a little differently than the rest of the site so I just killed it, since there are two other login links still on the page.

I think additionally sessions might be a little wonky if you were previously logged into the old site.

My best understanding atm, but please continue to mention if it's ongoing...

You were right. When I log in from the old site I am asked to put in my credentials (despite having checked the box to keep me logged in). The problem stopped once I started getting directly to the new address.

Since we are discussing probs/suggestions here, what about the word filter. I am all for censorring the word d-a-m-n. But having having the word d-a-m-n-i-n-g turned into danging as well as d-a-m-n-e-d into danged feels a bit silly, it can actually distort the meaning in some situations.

Big123 recently mentioned a similar problem with links: if a censored word appears in a link, the link becomes useless.

PS if this is considered discussing the Forums rules and does not belong here, by all means delete and I will repost in the appropiate place. I have saved the post.

Yeah, rules discussion should be in the Comments and Remarks section.

Yeah, I have been (vocally) worried about this. It seems it would be mutually beneficial to both sites for them to have links. Even if the forums aren’t in the main header, it sure would be great to have a link somewhere. I always enjoy going in through the main page and am afraid my visits to the actual CB are going to decrease drastically.

I thought the issue was that SB didn't want to host the forum or the bandwidth. It doesn't take much bandwidth to have a link to the forums.

Eh, for me it doesn't matter.  I stopped visiting the front page there a long time ago.  I don't find it to be quality writing for the most part, and the whole 'fan' vibe was clearly eschewed a long time ago.

I don't blame Jeff for anything, a person has to do what they have to do to provide for themselves and their family, but SB Nation is pretty much crap.

Logged in today having not been active over the summer. Had no idea this was going on but absolutely awesome work to keep this going. It really shouldn't be underestimated how much needs to happen behind the scenes, I've seen many a project die despite hard work and good intentions.

This blog was a huge plus for me when I first started following the Cs in 2010, it helped me gain a lot of knowledge and understanding of the team and it's history. I'm real glad it's carrying on, it's the first place I go when I want to talk Celtics!

Maybe DJ points is better, snatching victory from jaws of defeat.
