Hi everyone,

This is a notice that either today or tomorrow, I intend to start a conversion of *all* LiquidThread talk pages to Flow boards. LiquidThreads is a now unmaintained extension with all support being dropped by anyone who worked on the original versions of the extension (inc. the never fully released version 3). This was kept on Miraheze solely for the purpose of supporting the needs of AllTheTropes wiki with all new requests by other wikis being declined for technical reasons.

A conversion never happened for two reasons:

  • An official conversion script wasn't released when Orain died,
  • There were database integrity issues resulting is misattribution of edits (in the awkward way LQT stores author names).

Since the creation and import to Miraheze, an official script was released and over the past few weeks I've been putting special pressure and work into resolving the database integrity issues. As work carries on for general edits and logging (potentially by Southparkfan), the LQT tables were handled by Vorticity.

A selection of pages have already been converted for testing and these include: Talk:Main Page, All The Tropes talk:Bureaucrats, Talk:Color Motif, Talk:The Ruffling of Fur and Feathers and, Talk:Weirdest Inbound Link of the Day.

A site notice message will go up when the conversion begins. There is expected to be no interference with editing and the conversion shouldn't take long.

Any questions, reply here or contact myself.

Thanks,

Awesome, look forward to it.

Look no further! Probably because you saw this before you saw this message but, yeah. Look no further (who knows what dark monsters lie beyond).

This is now done. Please enjoy the new interface instead of the ridden of hell-ish one before.

And enjoy the new bugs!
