PEEL2 open beta

[on:]

Being 10 months behind my initial schedule, I can finally show off some "PEEL2" goodness. Before we make the move to the new forum system on the new server, I want to see how it fares compared to the old solution. And for that, we're having about one week of open beta.

During this phase, everyone who had an account on PEEL1 before August 1st can look around a temporary copy of PEEL2 (with PEEL1 topics up to August 1st) and test things (post, look at features, ...). If any bugs come up, let me know either here or in the appropriate topic at PEEL2. All posts you make there will be deleted at the end of the open beta.

Please avoid feature and layout suggestions at this time. The open beta is for load testing and for bug squashing. If I do have to work on bugs, the beta site might go down for maintenance.


And here you go:

SMF?!?

Took me a few moments to notice... well you've done a hell of a job converting everything over to it, that's for sure.

So we can "play" arround with the beta , post, edit, reply, quote and so to see if there are bugs or is a simply "look-dont-touch" preview?

[Reply #5 on:]

There's a song I love by Belle & Sebastian, the first line of the chorus is "If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy."

If there is truth in that line then mArc has to be the happiest man on Earth right now.

It'll take some getting used to, but overall it looks great while keeping the original look and feel mostly intact. Major creds to you [-mArc-].

I see.. amazing work with that migration beta. I saw the topic I made that used to mess up PEEL 1.0 front page.. well, sorry again, but hey, 2.0 can handle that!

Kudos mArc

So when is Peel Beta officially going to be peel? or is it now?

[Reply #16 on:]

I imagine it'll be officially peel when it appears under the peelified.com domain name instead of peel.gotfuturama.com. 

[Reply #17 on:]

whho hoo

It's not super hard to direct domain names, is it?

Looks very nice though... very nice.

[Reply #19 on:]

I'm having to resist the urge to polish the screen on PEEL1 now.

[Reply #20 on:]

My post agrees with Captain Winna and SuperShark

[Reply #21 on:]

My post agrees with my stomach.

I like the PM feature

[Reply #22 on:]

I likes the new format, mArc.  Good job!

Agreed!  No more fancy blinky rank stars though?  Guess it's a concession we'll need to make for all the good stuff...

Great work mArc, you've put a lot of effort into this; hope you know we all appreciate it.

[Reply #24 on:]

Looks very nice.  And it's exactly PEEL blue too.  Sweet.

[Reply #25 on:]

I can't log in and use all the features, but what I have seen looks very nice indeed. Keep up the nice work!

[Reply #26 on:]

Way better.

...of course, I knew this was coming...

[Reply #27 on:]

Sticky threads Kryten?

[Reply #28 on:]

New things are bad and should be hated.

[Reply #29 on:]

Open Beta is over. I'm doing the last few fixes on my Todo list now.

[Reply #30 on:]

Good luck.
