So far so good...looks great...There is still a lot of appearance changes to make, and I imagine Scott will be working on it today.
Sweet Picture, that white wagon is hot. |
I like it, thanks Scott!
Looks like our Private Messages folders have to be smaller - 50 message limit? But I found some new options in there. Pretty cool. Smilies no worky? |
Yeah, I'm sure the layout will change quite a bit today/tonight.
Looks good yo. |
OMG, we have a Calendar!!!
|
Wow, I leave for a couple weeks, and look what happens. Seriously, awesome effort with the old setup Scott, and I hope this new engine will be more robust in regards to the shifting sands of the 'net.

Okie Dokie... here's the lowdown...
Yesterday I brought up the new vBulletin code, and waded through the import procedure... it was actually a bit of a pain in the ass, since I screwed it up and broke the new board the 1st time I tried it. But the second time went a bit smoother, except for the attachments... which wouldn't work for shit... so I gave up. After watching the '88 NASCAR race at PIR w/ Matt last night, I tried to go to bed, and found I couldn't fall asleep, so I spent a few hours pounding the laptop, and got the attachements working... the problem was that due to the version of our database, we can't have anything over about 1MB large stored in the database... so I had to change the site to store attachments on the filesystem instead. After doing that, things came right up. Then I hammered out enough settings to set the board live at about 3:30 this morning. So, things seems to be working, but keep in mind that we're still pretty beta around here. i.e. The board may be up and down as I make some changes over the next few days. If you have something important to post, you might want to keep a copy of the information locally, because the worst case (having to revert the board and reimport the phpBB data) may still occur. My goal is to get the board to look and operate as close to the old board, just to keep things familiar. I've still got to get the smilies copied over, and I'll probably have to do a little custom code to get the [img=width ] tag working, since the built in custom tag method doesn't seem to work yet. As always, if you notice anything that looks broken, or if you're missing some PMs or posts or something, post here and I'll take a look at it. If you've got questions about how to do something... you're probably best off just looking at the stock FAQ that at the top of the screen, since I don't know anymore about this board than the rest of you! :lol: |
Excellent work, sir. Looking forward to getting the new look and feel dialed.
|
Can we get the PM Message limit back up at least long enough for us to clean up a little? I'm at about 250 and it will take me a while to get under 50, but it would be nice to be able to send and recieve in the meantime.
|
Nice work Scott
This looks great. I did notice that the Member's only forum is missing. As most of the info for this weekend was posted there, will it return? If not no biggie I will just print out directions and such for the Meet Thursday. Other's may PM me for the information.
|
Oh, and does this version have the TAG tips when posting llike the old one? Those were cool, and made it much easier to cusomize your posts... I just had to remmeber how to do a (url=blah)text(/url) one and it took me 2 tries.

That's how VBulletin handles quotes. It prevents the cascading quotes of doom we had on the old board ;)

Also, don't forget I might lose your new PMs if I have to re-import the server. |
Oh and by the way... I added the "Phil Mills" rank for people over 2000 posts, and the "Petter Solberg" rank for people over 4000.
...I'm not so sure those are gonna stick tho, they're kinda cheesy. Also, I killed all the old custom titles since they don't quite work the same way in vB and I didn't like the way they imported. So we're gonna have to get creative again and attempt to come up w/ some new titles. |
How bout we call you "Chicken Fucker!"
