New Iron Heart Website - Live Now - Feedback and Bug Report Here Please!

Alex

@Kjunx thank you - this is typically exactly what we do when we launch new websites/forum updates etc, and we will do so again. We have already had some useful peer review from a handful of forumites before we started the go live process

Good news is forum is not lagging any more smooth and faster. Hope it’s stays like that

It's crazy to me that in 2025 it takes days to migrate a website. There's gotta be so much involved that I can't even fathom I guess. I build physical PCs in a few hours. Probably a lot of testing and checking details takes a lot of time for this. I'm just generally curious too. Not jonesing for IH. Not yet at least ..

@CosmoSix5

Appreciate your patience, man. It’s not just about copying data over. Migrating a full-scale e-commerce operation — especially one with tens of thousands of historical orders, integrated email systems, and an extensive CRM is a very different beast.

CosmoSix5

@Graham never considered keeping track of past orders...

Alex

Also the site is linked to our wholesale platform, and the forum, and those need to move too. And, despite however much testing you do, when its go time and your in a live environment, not a beta, shit inevitably happens

Alex

it takes about 20mins to repoint DNS, which is essentially all that you need to do to move site. We are trying to focus on the small details of the move, as well, and that takes time

Same here because my desktop link didn’t work. I just needed a new link. Spent the whole day realizing I have a problem with my forum addiction.

I had the same thing happen, then I just clicked the forum link on the down page and voilá. I think a lot of people were running into the same issue, because I noticed there seemed to be a lot less posts yesterday.

...you guys just weren't dedicated and stubborn enough to figure it out. You must try harder

Although your addiction is duly noted and appreciated

popvulture

Oh I figured it out quick lol. This rat knows the maze.

Matt

Addiction doesn’t make me any less lazy.

We hit a pretty big roadblock yesterday with importing customer data - but we have fixed it finally. Launch on time was threatened, but now we are back on track. We havent had a chance to test everything yet, as yesterday really slowed us down, but assuming the final tests on a live environment go well over the next 2 hours, launch around 10am should be doable.

Nick

I want you to put the word out there that we (almost) back up.

Jord

Exciting times!
