If all goes to plan it will most likely take place tonight after midnight PST. Below are preview images of the new format. Not much will change other than some minor changes to the posting format. All posts will have to have some sort of name entered. If you're a registered user then you need do nothing. If you're not registered you'll have to enter something at least 3 characters long. Whatever you choose. If you don't wish to be identified specifically simply type "Guest". At this point unregistered users will have to click the "I'm not a robot" box, but there is no actual captcha to enter. There will be the option for all (not just registered users) to use the quick posting frame or go to the full function frame by clicking "full editor & preview" at the bottom should you wish to use emoticons, type styles, and embed images, etc. At this point it does not appear that YouTube videos will be able to be embedded. You'll just have to post the link Also, the background image at the top of the page is not set in stone. I'll change it periodically. Main Page ![]() Quick Posting Frame ![]() Full Function Posting Frame ![]() Oh yes, you'll be able to upload files from your hard drive to a post, up to 20mb in size.

Looks good. Too bad about the embedded vids. |

I'm not giving up on them yet. I've got a queery in with the Tapatalk folks to see if it can be done and I just can't figure it out or if it will be implemented some time in the future. The screen caps I've attached are from the beta testing site. Everything I've done there will have to be re-done once the board goes live. So be patient with me. Edited by Tybee, Yesterday, 9:02 AM.

I can't guarantee it yet, but once the board goes lives I hope to be able to remove the captcha requirement for unregistered users. It's already removed for registered users. |

ER, this may sound like a dumb questia...but how do we get to the new place? Will my bookmark to here still work? |

They haven't said, but I'm pretty sure after the transfer if you use the zetaboards link it will simply redirect you to the new website. Then you can reset your bookmark. This is the link to the beta testing Zatalounge board. I don't know if it will be the same one the transfer is done or not. You can go there now and play around with it. Nothing posted there will be on the live board. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/zatalounge/general-discussion-f3/ Edited by Tybee, Yesterday, 10:56 AM.

They have literally hundreds of emoticons/emojis on the new site. Way too many actually. I'm hoping that our current bank of emoticons will be transferred. I've put a lot of work into those things. Also, the registered user avatars are much smaller on the new site. Some (especially MPC's) will have to be adjusted to be properly visible. |

I don't know what I will do without my screaming emoji. It speaks to and for me!

I just posted to the test site without declaring my humanity! |

Good. That means the fix I did (at least on the test site worked). I'll probably have to do it again on the live site. I've just finished making copies of all our emoticons just in case they don't transfer, and in case I'll be able to add them to the new emoticon bank at Tapatalk. |

Just so you know: the Pacific time zone is currently on Daylight Saving Time & will be for several more months (March 11 - Nov 4). |

Just in case our emoticons don't transfer and I'm unable to upload the old ones to the new board I will set up image links for the ones people use the most (at first) and you'll be able to just post that image link like I've done below. I'll provide a list of all the image links. Not the quickest way to do it, but at least it will be possible.

Do I need to do an app? I hate apps. |

No, you can access the new site through your browser just like you do now. I just took a look at a Tapatalk group using the Firefox browser on my cell phone and I must say it is far easier to read than it is with Zetaboards. Edited by Tybee, Yesterday, 6:42 PM.

I guess they didn't get them all transferred last night, or they hit a glitch. they were supposed to move all groups with over 10,000 posts. I just checked L chat, a group with over 8 million replies, and they haven't been moved either.

They're planning to take over the world and being rather chatty about it. |

They've had staff meltdowns over there in the past. I well remember back during the DLRB days one of the mods at L Chat had a wobbly and locked the owner(s) of the board out, until Zetaboards stepped in and got them resurrected. Hell hath no fury like a lipstick lesbo scorned.
