CF upgrade 05 May 2008 Q-A

[JAS4Yeshua]

All we know is that the reps are remaining, and your rep count will remain the same. The only real question is what it will be called, due to a possible naming conflict that hasn't been decided yet.

coolness. and maybe you could open a thread for questions about the new setup once the upgrade is completed?

and you could tell us how to make backgrounds and add stuff to our profiles.

thanks! have fun with the "techie" stuff.

Threads are forthcoming, in the meantime most of staff and some of the Angels have been briefed on teh changes and can help you ...

thanks for starting this thread...my question is, how is this going to affect our CF homepages?

save any background images and custom images to another site or your hard drive, you will need to upload them to the new CF profile album in order to use them....instructions to come later...I can do it...but typing it out clearly is another matter LOL

ok so i just read your other announcement, and it did mention profiles. but i still don't quite understand... if we have pictures and stuff on our html section now, will those be lost? i mean will everything basically be reset to a clean slate?

save them to your see above

Will post counts be effected? Blessings, etc?

no...and you have a meeting to be informed tomorrow morning 9am central (thread in Angels HQ)

What about CF characters? I spent a lot of cha-ching making me look good.

How will reps be handled in the new CF.

same way but insstead of a "thumbs up" icon there will be a scales icon to click

will we lose our current blessings/post counts etc?

nope...those stay

If we have to choose between a character or a avatar, for all the clothes and many other things for the character, can we send back and get all blessings for them? Or, can we switch between avatar say for one month then click on our character?

gotta love those last minute glitches....at least it came up during testing instead of while they were putting it into production

you can always choose between a character or an avatar it's not a for all time decision

Will CF pets continue to lose hunger and stuff while the site is coming back online? :o

 

[barb754]

Should we put our pets to day care for the time CF will be down? 1-2 days?

Pets is something we are nailing down also. Once we have more information we will release it

Ok, just a few more questions. I know that the pet issue has been asked. So not going to ask about that again.

What is going to happen with the jobs? Are we going to be able to collect the salary at the usual time? Or are we going to have to restart and wait a whole week to be able to collect? Will we have to join the job again, or will we still have it after the upgrade is done?


I don't know about everyone else, but I am going to write down everything I have for my CF character so that when everything is done I'll know what I had and what I didn't have.

Is this a serious site upgrade or is it all just baubles and frippery?
