Here is a list of all the known issues (those that have scheduled post-migration, as well as those reported by the community). We’ll be updating the status as we get updates from the team.
Missing bookmark - these will be imported from the old site as soon as possible
Missing private messages (PMs) - these will be imported from the old site as soon as possible
Missing reactions (agrees, helpfuls, likes) - these will be imported from the old site as soon as possible
Missing post views (PMs) - these will be imported from the old site as soon as possible
Missing avatars - if you are missing your avatar, please re-upload it by taking the steps here
@mentions are currently not linking to user profiles (but you will still get a notification when someone mentions/tags you) - this is currently being worked on by the team
special characters are not allowed in usernames and have been changed to underscores (_); if your name was changed because of the import and you’d like to change to something else, please use the contact form to let us know
some links are not redirecting correctly - this is currently being worked on by the team
*performance issues/site slowness - database servers increased to help with site performance, but the team is still looking into other solutions for performance-related reports
formatting issues in posts - the team is working on applying a fix for all posts
ads blocking reply button - the ads team is working on solving all issues
vertical scroll on long threads not displaying the bottom end; this makes navigation within a thread very difficult - this is currently being worked on by the team
seeing duplicate posts - we believe this is a server issue, but the team is still investigating it
not all threads display new comments correctly - flagged this to the tech team
when one character is deleted, a whole sentence disappears - flagged this to the tech team
the “Back” button does not always take you to the page you where on, but to the last discussion - flagged this to the tech team
@CTTC, the imports were initially scheduled for after the migration, but since then we are faced with some very urgent problems like the performance issues, broken redirects, or post formatting bugs. I honestly don’t yet have a clear timeline as the team is working at full capacity to improve the user experience on the site. Will update once I hear more.
Thanks for the list of known issues. This probably comes under the “performance” category, but in case you need specifics: Moments after going to the CC website, I get the message “This webpage is using significant energy. Closing it may improve the responsiveness of your Mac.” I have to then leave CC because if the page is open, everything else on my laptop is slowed down significantly.
A minor issue I’ve noticed is that when I write a PM, the emojis show in the text box, but disappear from my message after I hit reply.
@CC_Sorin Thank you for sharing this information and updating it as progress is made. I have only been on CC for a few months so do not have the experience with the old site that other users may. I am slowly figuring my way around and see features I think I will like once some of the bugs are worked out, but the two most challenging issues:
Performance! (which is on your list)
Lack of visibility of the Topic title (which is not on your list) I often leave CC open while working on other things. When I return I don’t always remember which thread I’m on. It is frustrating having to scroll back through all the posts to the top to see that. Which brings us back to performance issues.
ETA: It looks like the formatting has been fixed! Note the bold and the emoji show in the post. Woohoo, you can strikethrough an item on your list!
This problem seems particularly bad on phones and tablets. We’re testing a change that might help. Some people might find it helps to hide the preview. That said, this is a problem we will continue working on.
So if I want to go to the end of a very long thread, right now I have to scroll through hundreds of posts. Are you going to put page numbers back in or arrows to go forward and back, or a “last page” button? I wanted to post on a thread with 845 posts already and gave up. I know you are working on this.
My avatar from CC not imported but rather one I use on other platforms. Also the continual loading of ads makes the site very slow unresponsive and hard to use
