Will any Legacy site tools or maintenance used currently create problems?

WinsomeWorks · September 6, 2013

As stated in another thread, I need to do a bunch of site maintenance in my Legacy site in upcoming weeks. There have been various threads noting tools or maintenance in either Old or New SmugMug affecting the other one, or even Legacy affecting itself. It would be cumbersome to follow up on all of them & see if they've all been addressed (fixed). Does anyone know of any current (or remaining) problems in Legacy when working with tools such as creating galleries, arranging, moving, keywording, titling, etc. that may create issues for me? I have not yet done any kind of migrating or playing in the New Smug. I've only looked at other people's unveiled sites. Thanks for any help or heads-up either way!

Also, if anyone knows of certain tasks that I should do in Legacy in preparation for eventually migrating to the New Smug, I'd be ever so grateful for information like that, as my site is extensive and I expect a lot of work, some of which evidently can't be done in the New SmugMug. (certain kinds of moving / arranging / collecting etc...)

I would suggest in legacy go to /keyword page and copy all your keywords and save in text
file. Might be last time you'll ever see all them. Do this logged in and out just in case.

Save EVERY gallery/password, NewSmug hides every password.

Edit caption/keyword is completely b0rked in NewSmug for keyword maintenance.
Do what you can in legacy before unveiling. BTW, Keywords With Single Quote Not
Being Returned On Keyword Page for both NewSmug and legacy.

A huge thanks, Al -- I recognize some of these now, but I'd have never been able to find 'em all or figure out which ones were still happening. Sorry some folks have had to be the guinea pigs for people like me, so to speak. :twitch I'm not sure how to copy keywords from my /keyword page, but I'm quite sure my handy spouse will know. I still can't believe they haven't brought back any access to all of them. I was just doing a job today that I wouldn't be able to do w/o that page. Aaargh.
