They didn't say WHEN on Tuesday, plus they are on USA time, so it could be anytime...
-
No such thing as "USA time", there's at least five timezones here.

Hi,
They are late. Tuesday began at 00:00. I use UTC here in the US. But by any Contental US timezone, they are still late.
Do I need the :P ?
Actually, I would be surprised if they made it by any time in any timezone which is 11/4. It is a major undertaking and that would be without....bugs....

Major undertaking for sure and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't actually pull it off. They are in totally uncharted territory with ZenForo - none of the other ZF sites have anywhere near the traffic nor data size that DPR has.
-
Although the banner mentioned Tuesday, I just read their comment on the front page which said expected to be back up on Wednesday...
-
U got that right ...
As of 14:30 UTC Nov 5th ...
The forums will enter read‑only mode on Friday, October 31, at 1:00 pm Pacific (20:00 UTC). During the read-only period, you can continue to browse, read, and search the forums, but you won't be able to create new posts or upload photos. We expect the forums to come back online beginning Wednesday, November 5.
Hopefully, Guy Fawkes is not lurking under their building ...

Edit: please disregard this as it has already been posted..! lmao
“We expect the forums to come back online beginning Wednesday, November 5.”

Just tried it just now ... still read only .... hopefully it will be back up and running soon ... but it's the entire site so maybe hiccups ....

They have a LOT of stuff to migrate. I'm not surprised it's running late.

The new forums have just launched.
-
Yep - one bug found and reported 😁
But I do like the editing window over there. Easy to Ctrl-V to put in screenshots.

I found a lot of annoyances :) Will I report them - I have no idea. Yet :)
-
Same here :)
-
At least photographs on DPR are decently displayed now.
-
Don't forget to mention no threaded view 😆😇
-
Sure - I have got no option to switch to flat view anymore, this is serious trouble :P
-
Yes they allow for 1:1 viewing up to a certain file size (unlike the xenforo default of about 1600px long side) but the initial view looks no bigger than it was before - waste of screen real estate IMHO. Remember how much better it was here when the initial display size was increased
