Hello Unknown Soldiers,

 

this post is to inform you that the new forums Engineering has worked on over the best part of the past year are now complete enough to be released. I am sure we would have been able to put a lot more work into these new forums and their functionalities, but that would have only postponed their release until much later. In fact, we'll continue to work hard on bringing much more functionality and design into them.

 

All users registered on our current forum before the 3rd of November have been migrated (the latest user is "StoneShoota") an will be able to log in with their accustomed user name and password. All posts created before November 5th, 10am EST will be carried over. If people registered or wrote posts after these deadlines, they will not be carried over to our new forums.

 

The process of migrating the new forums is a long and elaborate one. We can not start customizing user groups and overall forum structures before our final import, and as such it will take a couple of hours before we'll be able to go live. Many parts of the process have already started and most of the manual work has been completed. By its nature of being a manual task, we want also clarify, that there might have been errors made. If you notice any inconsistencies or miss any awards, permissions or the like, please make a post once the forums are live so we can look into this.

 

Furthermore I feel obliged to say that not everything will work perfectly. Working on a tight schedule and having to disassemble the whole default theme and putting it back together the way we want and need it definitely creates some issues. We're confident that you'll be able to use these forums on a day-to-day basis just like you were using vBulletin, but until they're extensively tested by the people actually using them (rather than just the development team) there's going to be bugs we didn't even find or consider bugs.

 

For more info on where to report bugs, issues, etc. please read the announced post in the new forums once they're live.

Very excited!!

 

Engineering has put an incredible amount of time into this effort, and lots left to do. When that bug/issue tracker is online (new forums) please do your best to use that as the way of reporting problems rather than approaching staff directly on TS or PM.

 

As Chief mentioned this is a significant change so there will be some errors you encounter. If everyone uses the tracker to report, it will make it much much easier on Engineering to investigate anything that comes up.

Very cool and thank you for your hard work. Now for the question will the new site be a responsive site i.e. scale for small devices like iPhones, etc. ?

It was built with responsiveness in mind RT. So far our main focus hasn't been on making it responsive, but everything we've tested so far scales well with device size.

R&U Sirs

 

**** Reminder you are addressing an Officer and Warrent Officer in this thread ****

 

=US= 32.0.3 Courtesy

 

Courtesy among members of the Unknown Soldiers is vital to maintain discipline. Military courtesy means good manners and politeness in dealing with other people. Courteous behavior provides a basis for developing good human relations. The distinction between civilian and military courtesy is that military courtesy was developed in a military atmosphere and has become an integral part of serving in the military.

 

Most forms of military courtesy have some counterpart in civilian life. For example, we train soldiers to say sir or ma’am when talking to a higher ranking officer. Young men and women are sometimes taught to say sir to their fathers or ma’am to their mothers and likewise to other elders. It is often considered good manners for a younger person to say sir or ma’am when speaking to an older person. The use of the word sir is also common in the business world, such as in the salutation of a letter or in any well-ordered institution.

 

Military courtesy is not a one-way street. Enlisted personnel are expected to be courteous to officers and likewise officers are expected to return the courtesy. Mutual respect is a vital part of military courtesy. In the final analysis, military courtesy is the respect shown to each other by members of the same profession. Some of the military’s more common courtesies include rendering the hand salute, standing at attention or parade rest, or even addressing others by their rank.
