Is it possible to carry comments over from the old guide view?
This will be the first post in a series of posts on my take on the new guide view. When I spend a little more time with it I will see if I can do a post on how I feel about it compared to the old layout. Right now I need to test it on a few systems of varing aspect ratios and resolutions and see how it responds.
I do however, have a concern about comments made on guides under the old layout. I've had this iFixit account since 2009. I have comments from 2009-2011 that remain from when iFixit moved away from Wiki comments. I have not found a way to remove these comments yet. I would rather avoid this happening a second time.
This is the reason I have a concern. Will these comments transfer from the old layout to the new one? When I load it I do not see my comments on the new layout. Is this possibly a preview issue or are the comments just not going to transfer and I will have to start over. I have attached pictures of what I see below.
Is there going to be a way to carry comments over, or are we going to have to start over on comments on our guides? I ask this because those test results are for certain Wireless cards for the guide I have provided results for to show which brands are the best and worst.
Just in case, I do have it backed up. I didn't delete the comments yet but I am working on a way of rewording them. I am also testing a few more cards which I will mention the results of when I finish along with have some data for the guide to support my reminder that the brand and chipset DOES MATTER.
Just to be sure I am not going to have this problem again, I am going to start the migration of my own comments to the new layout. I did a quick test and it reads on the new and old layout, if made on the new one. While I am going to migrate my comments this is a concern that may come up.
Is this a worthwhile discussion?
