Surely there will be a few issues as we settle into this new software modification, and as I discover them I'll post them here. But overall, you should experience a must faster-loading BZ, thanks to the speed of MySQL over a DBM flatfile (which BZ has run on since its creation), particularly with the sheer volume of data that we have.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Internal Links Changed : Links directly to particular threads will no longer lead to the expected location. I know many users have internal links to their MOCs and Fiction; these will have to be relocated and the link updated.
- Poll Problems : Polls work fine, but during the upgrade some poll options were cloned, and some poll options were lost. This mean a non-poll topic may exist with an unrelated set of poll options at the top, and some polls may exist with the options missing. Report either to a moderator. Topics with poll options can be fixed, but polls with missing options will have to be deleted and re-created.
- Other Poll Problems : Voting in polls doesn't seem to register, and the results can't be viewed. (Reported by: Infected Huki)
- Custom Level Images : Custom level images are not yet appearing. That will be fixed in the next couple of days. (Reported by: American Toa)
- Interests Lost : The record of member interests was lost, so if you want this info on BZ, you'll need to re-edit your profile. (Reported by: Bink)
- Topic Tracker Confused : Any tracked topics you have will point to the incorrect discussion. You'll need to use the (now faster) search tool to find your favorite threads and re-subscribe to them. (Reported by: Swarm Commander)
(Ghosted issues are thought to be fixed.)
