as a way of...

I'm getting better at this the second time around, for sure; but I'm not an expert on ruby for sure.

LOL.

Yesterday was a migration test disaster.

First of all, the Discourse team seems to attempt to bully me to do an impossible upgrade from vB3 to vB4, an upgrade which does not exist and is...
