Will you guys be making a tutorial video for new forum usage and features?  Something like that would be a good “Watch this.” reference to point people to since you’ll likely be getting lots of the same questions for a while.

@Matt funnily enough, I am writing out the titles for the new 'help centre' as we speak.

I am going to create a number of 'how to' style threads and they'll live in the welcome centre or similar.

Screenshots and bullet points so far, the narration feature will cost extra..

I put the fire emoji there as a joke but now I see it, it's staying 

[Matt]

Looks awesome.  Nice work.

[Oaktavia]

Cool! Looking so forward to using the new platform!

[Alex]

Hopefully you all have got / will get a PM soon. Just for completeness, the message is also here below:

As you may be aware, we have been discussing moving the Iron Heart Forum to a new platform for some time.

We have been working behind the scenes on developing a new version of the Iron Heart Forum on a platform called NodeBB. (Big shout out to the volunteers who helped us during the testing phase!)

We are glad to announce that the new forum is now ready. The migration will take place on Monday 6th of February at 1600GMT. To allow sufficient time for the migration to complete and for us to get everything ready behind the scenes, we will be closing the forum for a 24 hour period and aim to have it live the following day no later than 1700GMT on Tuesday 7th of February.

For security reasons, we cannot transfer your password information to the new platform. You will be sent a password reset link once the new forum is live. Rest assured, during this migration all your existing data will be transported to its new home, no information will be lost.

As the platform will be unfamiliar to many, we have created a number of 'How To' threads on the new forum, which will help you in familiarising yourself with NodeBB. The board containing these threads will be pinned to the top of the new forum, and we strongly recommend you read these first when visiting the forum for the first time.

If you have any questions about the forum migration please do let us know and we'll be happy to help.

@Kasi you won't need tapatalk because the new forum will work normally on the web browser on your phone

I am curious about mobile interface, as well! Thanks for all the hard work you’ve been putting in, everyone.

@sabergirl it is so much easier to use, can literally upload photos from your phone in two clicks! So I am expecting everyone to up their selfie game

@AdamJ:

The amount of times I counted that little black rectangle rotate before a photo uploaded lol.

[AdamJ]

@Oaktavia the new platform has far better hosting too so there is a higher tolerance for file sizes you can upload, so less dicking around editing photos and just posting straight from mobile
