Okay, back on point. Anyone have a "Countdown to Zero" list for issues to be addressed in the last stages before going live with a forum? Software selected. Operational test. Thread topics outlined. Some posters at the ready. Admin rules in place. Anticipated problems/issues outlined and protocals established. What else? What did you or someone else forget to do in the last days before you went live? What 'obvious thing did was overlooked' by someone in your forum or someone else's forum? Okay - back to the RV . . . Minimizing my embarassment . . . I forgot to close the latch on the refrigerator door :(. What followed was a veritable food explosion as I rounded my first corner at speed. Everything, on all shelves, went flying - including the pitcher of lemonade. "Way to go dad."
Reminds me of my second (not our first) adventure in our motorhome - when I failed to re-read and follow the steps on the "just before you leave for a trip list" given to me by the prior owner. I forgot something. An experienced RVer will be able to guess what I forgot. I've learned many of us do the same thing as beginners. (Answer below.)
