Yep I remember the bootstrap mode! We did the transfer while still in bootstrap mode by following this guide:
Everything went smoothly and our 150ish members were available in Discourse, and the bootstrap mode notification/banner went away which I took to mean that Discourse recognized our 50th user sign up as part of the migration and disabled bootstrap mode.
But perhaps somehow something went wrong with the update of the automatic user preference back to weekly?
Is this a good thread to learn how to do this or would you recommend a better thread to shine more light on preference updates through the rails command line? VV
