Thank you so much for your help, and woo hoo i will be asleep while it all goes on well not at ten, and hopefully it should be back by the time I turn on again. God bless you and all the staff there for what I know must be a very difficult time for you all.

A color scheme for stars as has been suggested solves this and nexia I think can make that mod fairly easily

Could always replace the stars with diamonds at some point~sparlking spinning ones...bling you want then bling it will be

RichardMac 72 : There isn't an exact time. Sunday Evening - Monday Evening.
When will the PTB know at what time the transformation begins ?
Is 22 o'clock GMT (see post 340) the current best estimate ?

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Joyshirley 104 : [/FONT]Will the timing thing re giving reps be altered so that we can choose when to gift them at any point within the day, rather than the schedule under which they operate at present?
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Criada 109 : [/FONT]I don't think so.
But... they last for 24 hours, so you can use them at any time...
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]You seem to unaware of the phenomenon someone dubbed rep creep that the repaholics fall victim to.[/FONT]

Just a suggestion from someone who's been here when they made upgrades before or survived through a huge crash. Take a picture (screen print) of what blessings you have and what you have in the bank and save it to your hard drive. They normally will repay any blessings that are lost.

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Those values can be faked. Also, if everyone lost their blessings it is unlikely they will give free blessings only to those who took a screenshot.[/FONT]

If anyone wants a pet i just put my pet up for adoption for 100 blessings - if you buy it but dont get it back after the upgrade then pm me and ill reimburse your 100 blessings for buying it - God bless all

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Buy your pet ? I heard that after the upgrade I may be able to steal your fish. I'll just wait and see. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]You didn't evaporate. I evaporated before I got a chance to become his friend.[/FONT]

Well, last night I took a screenshot of my reps/blessings/post count/etc. As well as one of my puppy and her stats. Not sure what's all going to happen with that stuff in the move, but if we lose the pets, at least I have a picture of my Smuckers to put up.

Will we still have faith icons?

Yes, the jobs will remain... I don't think that there will be new ones.

I have a friend that got banned for 3 days. Do banned members stuff transfer over as well?

Everything should transfer over whether banned or not, but I'll raise this as a concern.

 

[JudgeDeborah2]

thank you. She was just curious.

 

[Criada]

Yes.

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but with the changes taking place, I thought I'd give it a try. If it isn't please move it to the appropriate thread.

As some of you may know, I currently oversee two giveaways: my own (Armory Giveaway For Newbies and two inventory sites), and EternallyPierced's (Free Clothing For Newbies and its inventory thread, Requests For Free Clothing). This entails overseeing a total of 5 threads. What concerns me, is the sheer amount of work involved in re-stocking these inventories should the current armory items for each not be ported over. In many cases there are overlaps of items to insure availability. It took a lot of hard work and assistance from others to help set these sites up. I'd really hate to lose what we have.

That being said, here are my questions:

- To bless someone with an item involves sending them each item one at a time. It is both time-consuming and labor-intensive to go through the entire list over and over to find each item, especially with both armor and special items together in one list. Is it possible with this changeover to address this issue? I was thinking of being able to send several items at a time to the same person.

-Also, is it possible to separate the armor and special items lists there, the way they are in the armory? That would make it so much easier to find what you're looking for.

Thanks.

Don't think my post was a debate, just a suggestion. Unless you've been there when cf has crashed and received blessings back that you've lost I guess you can't talk...been there, done that. Take the suggestion or leave it.

 

[jelvenko]

It's always best to be on the safe side. I took a screenshot of my stats and my pets stats, so that when the upgrade is over I can compare them and see if they transfered right. If the numbers are about the same, I'm not going to worry. But if there's a huge difference in the numbers I'm going to raise concerns. Even if I have more blessings than I should or something seems wierd compared to what I currently have.

I also saved a copy of a list of all my armor items. So I can restock the closet after the upgrade.

Until then! I am done posting.
