The Forum's are back... again...

[c marvel]

Ok I think we're back for real this time. We are on the absolute latest version of the forum software, and thus everything is going to be a bit different. You may need to reupload your avatar pictures, I couldn't figure out how to transfer those over to the new forums.

Let me know if you find anything that isn't working correctly, or if anything looks strange.

I'm going to be tweaking the appearance for a bit until I land on something I like.


Thanks for your patience while I figured this out.

This a very minor thing. I see the reputation feature for posters is so far gone away. ~Cap

Another minor thing. The calendar is now blank, I don't know when to bake a cake.

Dan great job!!! The forum looks amazing

[mhatchett]

Just posted pictures and it went great and they're not side ways!! It seems easier as well, for some reason!! Good job guys..and Mindy HAHHA!!

I can't figure out the new "What's New" tab. I just posted several things and they didn't show up there like they used too. I do like the new look though. Looks nice and clean and switched back to my blue

The "What's New" tab is going to take some figuring out for me. The new version of VBulletin did away with it in favor of the "Latest Activity" tab. Which you can use, just change the filter for "New Posts" to off. I'll work on the "What's New" tab some more. I'm essentially having to make it from scratch using a custom search link.

I'll look into this.

I'll look into this as well.

Ok this one is straight forward. The reputation feature has changed slightly "liking" a post now gives the poster reputation.

Ok it doesn't look like I can do anything about this one (unless I find a 3rd party mod to do it). The new calendar system doesn't show the birthdays. I'll add the "Today's Birthday's" module to the front page if it isn't already there though. I may remove the Calendar button since it doesn't do anything for us, as I think I have the "events" system turned off for the moment.

My last post was 5 years ago, so just testing...

I'm completely lost LOL. The "Last Activity" for me shows June 5th. Oh well, looks like I get emails for the threads I'm subscribed to. Probably will miss out on any new threads for the time being.

Yea unfortunately I don't think the "What's New" tab will every truly be the same.

The closes I think you can get is the "New Topics" button. Which shows threads that have been posted in since you last came to the forums. The What's new tab currently sort of works, but not particularly well.

I used the Calendar to see who had birthdays coming up. Were not saving lives hear so I will manage. Thanks for all your efforts on the forum Dan, we understand that without your efforts we would not have this nice little corner of the web!

I'm starting to get more of a hang of it. Part of my problem was I didn't realize the "What's New" is more than one page now. So I don't think I'll actually be missing out on anything. I think on the old forum it automatically subscribed you to a thread when you replied in it. That's probably a settings thing that doesn't appear to be happening with the update. I'll have to check my settings on that. The one thing that I discovered that I really like is the Notification tab at the top of the page. This takes me immediately to all the threads that I'm currently subscribed to.

Thanks for all the work on it, Dan. I'm just an old fart who doesn't like change.

I think the settings you're looking for are under your profile, edit setting, and on the notifications tab.

Let me echo others with a big Thank You to Dan! This forum really is a bubble of fresh air for me.
