RFF Upgrade

[MP Guy]

Over the next few days we will be performing some upgrades to RFF. This means that RFF may be unavailable at times. Also, once the system is up and running again, the look will be slightly different and some customizations will be needed afterwards. Please be patient while we work on improving RFF for you.

thanks for the update and advance warning.

is this the 'go buy a book' sort of downtime...or 'buy a mag' downtime?

Wondering that too, if I'll suffer cold turkey or it'll be back online before the withdrawal effects kick in 😀

For security reasons (for example) you have to upgrade the base software from time to time. I assume that there are no patches available for this base software anymore.

that's what it looks like...

Whenever there is an "upgrade", you can bet the house that posts and preferences will get lost.

 

[AgentX]

Well, yeah, looks like it but maybe they're still synchronizing stuff...?

If something is working fine, why to improve it?

A number of issues might need addressing, none of them normally visible to users.

Imagine doing all this by snail mail and telephone 😉 Upgrades are only somewhat easy when you stay reasonably up to date. Skip a few versions and you're in for a whole world of trouble. At head-fi.org they did a big migration recently that went pretty smoothly, and the new possibilities really enrich the experience. However, I get the feeling they have a bit more commercial support to leverage a bigger team to get this sort of thing done right.

Can't wait for the newer software
Progress is good.
From the small glimpse I had....I'm cool with it. New features, faster load time.
After all, the old software may not be supported anymore from the developer.
Good Try..
Sounds like a few late night coding parties are on the board. 😉

The 1960 VW car worked well, so why did VW develop newer cars? 😀
There has to be a good reason for this upgrade ay RFF.
