massaging data
Do you plan on buying the data dinner and a movie first?
massaging data
Any posts made after the backup is taken will not be migrated to the new site.
This is because we need to do some massaging data and config setup on the new site, but we don't have a way of porting just posts over after that's done (well, we maybe technically could, but it'd be way too much effort).
The update is painful because of all the convoluted crap we do behind the scenes to segment off the community structure for our [strike]nefarious[/strike] purposes. If we went the normal route, updating would be way easier.
Will the change affect the mobile site?
