IMPORTANT: UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS- goodbyecb is going away!

[NariaDreaming]

Well everyone,

In light of the fact that we are approaching our 6 month exodus anniversary, we've decided it's finally time. With the help of proboards, we've implemented the first step in phasing out the goodbyecb.proboards.com URL. This will allow the forums to be an integrated part of the full website (launching later this summer)


But what does this mean for me?

From a practical standpoint, starting on June 25, you will no longer be able to access the site from goodbyecb.proboards.com


What's the new address?

You will access the forums through www.goodbyecb.proboards.com

What about people who haven't logged on recently?


Please spread the news of the new address on any off-board groups you may be a part of

What about tapatalk?

We honestly don't know yet. Tapatalk indexes with Proboards once every 24 hours, so we hope that it will be a seamless transition.


Any other questions? Don't hesitate to ask

[NariaDreaming]

Also I apologize if you're on an iphone right now and having issues staying logged in. We're aware that there may be an issue, and hopefully it will be resolved shortly.

[theophania]

Another note: I believe that to edit a specific board bookmark you would delete "goodbyecb.proboards.com/" and replace it with "goodbyecb.proboards.com/". The thread and board number indicators and titles will not change, just the .com information.

If you have an iphone and you are NOT having issues, can you please post here?

Do you mean an iPhone using the mobile site, or an iPhone using Tapatalk?

Iphone using mobile- thank you for requesting the clarification

Thanks! Question: Will existing thread/post links update or redirect automatically, or will they need to be fixed manually after the update?
ETA: clarification - I'm talking about linking to threads/posts from other posts.
ETA2: on an iPhone and not having issues

These will need to be updated.

Can we access the boards from that address now or do we have to wait until June 25?

[Looney]

I exclusively use the mobile site on my iPhone and have had no problems staying logged in.

You can access using it now and even test out edited bookmarks. We want everyone to have enough time to get settled before finalizing it.

I'm on an iPhone and I'm able to stay logged in. I hope that doesn't change.

I'm also visiting the site through the original web address.

[mrsoscarfelix]

I am having issues staying logged in on desktop, only when clicking on boards using the menu on the left-hand side. The drop down isn't doing it.

The links on the left side are still the old goodbyecb links. They will be updated tonight to the new links. They should work, but the reason it might log you out switching between the two is that the cookie isn't saved from one to the next. I will update once those are updated.

mrsoscarfelix, the sidebar links have been updated to the new board links.

For everyone else, that means you can go to those links and bookmark them. You may have to login initially again so that the new url matches the login cookie. After that you should be golden. If you have any issues please let me know.

Am on iPhone now and was logged in the goodbyecb site however when I glanced up, it automatically turned into the new site. Haven't had any issues either.

[stargazer763]

There's no lovetit button on the new site, and I can't access the "new" portion of a thread. I'm back on the old version until I have to be.

Can you get me a screen cap of the issues? it would probably be helpful for theophania to see what you're seeing

It's not actually a new site. It's the same one, only the url is changing, nothing to do with the site itself should change at all. The love tit button is there though. What browser are you using?

Sometimes when the love tit button doesn't show or it isn't showing an entire thread it means that it's not loading fully which usually means an issue with the internet connection. It will take longer to load the first few times you visit because you don't have a cache at the new url, but once that builds it should be fine.

Never mind. I'm an idiot. The new url made me log in again, and thankfully it automatically logged in. Everything is fine. As you were.

I'm on google chrome. The folders for threads are now showing as blue conversation bubbles. When I'm in a thread, it goes straight from the quote button to the edit button: no heart in the middle.

It should go quote, edit, heart, gear. I'm in chrome also. Whenever the page is taking longer to load than usual for some reason the heart and gear load last. I think the issue is still that it's taking longer to load since the site has to cache on the new url for you. However, if you can send me a screenshot I'll be able to tell you for sure if that is the issue.

As for the rest, the folders for threads have been blue conversation bubbles for some time now. It's not a new site, just the default TCF branded skin that was created and added as default a few months back. Did you login on the new link? If you are used to see folders, then you are likely using an older version of the board skin, maybe GBCB or GoodbyeCB. The newer TCF branded version is what shows as the default when you're logged out.

ETA I see you have it now. I'm glad you're all set.

Give it a little while. If you're still having issues in 2-3 hours, shoot me an email

[kemdupuis]

I primarily use my iphone to access GBCB and haven't had any issues staying logged in

[PepperPottsJ]

I did have issues earlier today with not staying logged in from iPhone, but it was ok about 30 minutes ago. thank you and yay!! Logged into www.goodbyecb.proboards.com right now! Congratulations/Thank you!

[SpinsOffResonance]

Mobile browser on iPhone 6. Not having any issues staying logged in right now but I have been getting logged out a lot over the last couple months. Usually happens when I open a new page to go to tinypic, then when I come back to PB to post I've been logged out.

[lostinfaith225]

No issues here!
