upgrade problem

[dno]

Has the converter stalled?
If so can someone give it a nudge please?
I've got four days off work so thought now would be a good time to upgrade. (I need to tinker with the forum as soon as it upgrades and might not get time off again til December)

[Michael]

Just had someone check into it, the converter is running just fine.

Thank you Michael for checking.
There must be a big forum at the head of the queue being converted.
I'll try to be a bit more patient.
Off to drum my fingers on the desk for a while.

[dno]

I'm not sure what to do now?
I clicked to upgrade well over two hours ago.
I was then 26th in the queue
I am now still 26th in the queue.
Members think the forum will be upgraded by morning but I have at least a couple of hours work to do on it before I dare let them see it (and lots of tinkering even after that)
Can someone please give me an estimate of when the forum will upgrade?
Should I get out of the queue, apologise to the members and try again tomorrow night?
It's now 1.20am here

Are you just watching the converter page, or have you checked your forum? I'm not sure the page showing the place in queue automatically updates unless you refresh the page.

[dno]

I keep refreshing the page but nothing has changed.
Hope I don't refresh too often and get banned.

P.S.
I have logged out and back in several times and have tried chrome as well as firefox.

Michael Are you sure the converter is running "just fine. " ?
I clicked to upgrade over three and a half hours ago and I am still 26th in the queue (same place as when I clicked to upgrade)
I am going to give it until 3am and if I have not moved in the queue I will have to give up and withdraw from the queue.

[dno]

I have now withdrawn from the queue and will try again tonight.

[Idealweirdo]

Experiencing this same thing. Just wondering if there's something wrong or just a really large board. Anyone know?

[dno]

I rejoined the queue and have now spent hours as 66th in line.
I have refreshed countless times (this is very frustrating)
I can click to see how my computer is running:


Would it be possible to have something like this so we can see how the converter is running please?

Wether or not the converter is running is very different than a computer's internet connection. Once V5 is fully released, conversion issues should be far fewer.

Thank you for the reply RedBassett
Maybe I should have thought of a better analogy.
Is the converter running please?

[Michael]

At the time that I posted yesterday the converter was up and running normally. I have no update to its status as of now, our sysadmin was up late performing server upgrades, and won't be in until later.

Thank yo for your reply Michael
Please forgive my frustration.
