Hey Kier, Mike, Chris, you have users to moderate!

[TLDR]

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/welcome-to-xenforo-2.132146/

I can clearly see that there are 3 users requiring moderative actions. How bout you get to your duties as administrators of that community and give 'em what they deserve?

For reals: Looks good. Good job on upgrading. I assume it went without problem? Looking forward to XF 2.

Discovered a few glitches in the upgrade process, but they were easy fixes, so we're very happy with it

Web or CLI?

CLI

 

[Chris D]

Not likely to be much slower by the web, either.

 

[TLDR]

Sounds good. 30 minutes at 1.1M posts that is.... 10 min at 300k posts and like few seconds on my most recent installation (sadly, <1k posts) - WOW.

The vast majority of that time was consumed in the step that makes updates to existing avatars to support x2 resolution images, the actual core DB changes were done much quicker than that.

 

[Naz]

Seems like the utf8mb4 conversion was also done so that must've added some time on too.

 

[TLDR]

So the database structure has not changed much, I assume?

Oh I forgot, the overhead from templates and phrases, guess this took a minute too (not depending on the community's size)?

Most of the fundamental structure remains, but there are new tables and various alterations to make, along with a bit of data manipulation.

We have over 16 million posts, nearly 600,000 threads, and almost 70,000 members to upgrade when the time comes. The upgrade process with XF 1.x is so much faster now than it used to be with a certain other forum system we used to use. I have a feeling it will take me a lot longer to back up the database than it will to actually do the upgrade to XF 2.0.
