Unity not ready for Prime Time

bigal0228 posted 6th of November 2009 in Community Voice. 3 comments.

With all of the discussions about D7 going on, I thought it might be appropriate to note that this site (Unity) isn't ready to support the community when the "Big Move" happens.  My PERSONAL experiences with the site are ones of total happiness with moments of utter disappointment.  Forums work sometimes, and not others.  Links redirect to "404 Page not found" errors or "Script error".

I get the point that the Expertzzz site is redundant and should be integrated into Unity, and that there will be a lot of things in place to make it a much better experience for one and all.

I've also noticed that other users here have mentioned some of the same things that I'm talking about.  I enjoy contributing to this site and have begun posting my answers, ideas and helpful hints in these forums now, but having to close and re-enter the site 3 or 4 times just to make a simple post gets frustrating.  This happens with IE, Opera, Firefox, so it's not a browser issue.  My connection speeds are fast, traces confirm that the connection is good, so my guess is that whatever is happening, is happening on the site end.

If anyone has found a solution to any of my problems here, please tell me what you've done.  If any of you are still experiencing any of these issues, maybe discussing them here will light a fire to get things smoothed out.

I THINK this is the proper way to talk about this, I've read the rules for posting, and made this a discussion for everyone to take part in, and it concerns the Unity and Boonex community as a whole, so this post shouldn't disappear, but I'm not holding my breath.

I can say I have no problems with this site or forum at all, and I use standard Opera as my browser. also I have a fast connection. So I can't confirm your opinion on this.

Lots of technical problems with Unity. I also experience format problems from time to time, and I only get about half the messages sent to me here. Since I get the alerts, I have to write the people who sent them and ask them to send it to my normal email - which has a small advantage in that I have met some nice people here that way. It is totally appropriate to post this here - that is what this blog is supposed to be for, but Booonex, please, please, please don't do an upgrade until the RC see more is released - that kind of thing could delay things still further, and that is the last thing we need right now.

I also experienced the forum problems, sometimes when you click the category link it just sits there...

Other annoying thing is the editing while replying in blogs, it posts the message twice sometimes which I think lot of other people might find annoying too..
 
 
Below is the legacy version of the Boonex site, maintained for Dolphin.Pro 7.x support.
