DiS 5.0 chaos: apologies and explanations
sean by Sean Adams October 12th, 2008

Hello again,

The transition from the old site to the new site isn't going quite as smoothly and quickly as we anticipated. Many of you will have noticed a few extra bugs over the past few days which we're trying to remedy as quickly as possible.

The main reason why this is taking so long is that we didn't anticipate time it would take to turn the old database into the new database, nor how many browser incompatibility issues we'd hit. I'm happy to say the bulk of these issues are now resolved.

Things are changing more rapidly now and you should finally notice a fair few new additions to the site this week. In the meantime please bear with us and the short moments of downtime, as well as a few little irks with the site as we continue to shape shift very boring sounding things behind the scenes. Without these massive structural changes we can't begin the developments of the new-new DiS but everything should be vaguely usable now.

Any major issues? Pop them as a comment below.

Cheers,
Sean
Editor, DrownedinSound.com 5.0
