Can i ask why you were rushed into this? And why the change was made when it was not planned at all. While the board was offline it said check your Pm's rookie, can you say what this was for becuase it implies that you were not aware of the move untill after....
And iv lost about 1000 posts off of my post count, its not that i care about its people's guides and stuff that have been posted within the last 3 months or so.

Anything posted in the last 5 weeks is lost, not 3 months.
Please read the important post I made. I was rushed into this move because we had two option, use this forum or backup the old from 3 months ago. Entity was trying to fix a few things and for some reason the entire database was corrupted. Not sure how or why, but we decided to use this forum instead of backing the old up from over 3 months ago.

IE crashed when I scroll the new forum.

I was in the Lounge, and clicked on "Forums" and IE crashed for me too. :confused:
Posted by: rookiecrd1
Yep, thats problem #1. Not sure why this is happening. Hopefully I can figure it out. Anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

Is the "Report anything..." ment to be vissible to all members?
If it isn't...well....it is!
Sigs only show up as a URL,and I can't upload Avatars here.
I can't untick the "use no Avatar" option.
That's all for now :mrgreen:

Why don't you ask Krohn, I thought he was the VBulletin expert? :confused:
Posted by: cowswithguns
I take it that any accounts started in the last 5 weeks are gone too?
Posted by: rookiecrd1
Yes anything done in the last 5 weeks is gone :(
Still looking into the IE crash. Asking Martin now.

The file that you have tried to attach is too big. The maximum size is 150 bytes.
when I want 2 upload a avatar which is 4400 bytes :S
should it not be 100 kb ?

i dont like v bulletin at all, i dont like the layout or anything, bring back the old forum.
Posted by: Filliz
Another thing...when you quote someone who already quoted someone else,then that quote doesn't show up in the quote you just made of the person that you quoted.
"[quote]" starting to sound silly :p

Thats Vb not a fault with ther forum thats just how ghey VB is
Posted by: RGX
Are we errr....going to be able to use avatars and sigs?
Oh and the new look's kind of funky IMO.
Posted by: Aaron_T
Ive just spent 10 minutes using VB and im already starting to take a liking to it, its not as bad as i first thought.
i mean it would be nice to go back to invision one day, but i think i can live with it. :)

Most of the stuff mentioned here can be fixed by changing the settings in the admincp (which I'm sure you'll figure out once you've used it a bit).
Posted by: cowswithguns
How do I stop seeing the url's instead of the proper sigs?
Posted by: SeK612
Try the user cp (Quick Links from the navbar -> Edit options -> Show images/sigs/avatars)

Posted by: Gurahl
Two small problems:
Can't upload (or link to) an avatar
Board clock is off by 13 minutes.
Posted by: Aaron_T
excellent, so i can call him a chubby big foreheaded freak and get away with it :D
Posted by: SeK612
Can't upload (or link to) an avatar
Admin cp -> Usergroups -> Usergroup manager -> (whichever usergroup) -> Edit -> Picture Uploading Permissions -> Can upload custom avatars
Posted by: bigdawgfoxx
So yall havnt backed up the forum in 3 months...wtf?????!?!?!?!!
Ill loose 3 months to go back to invision i dont like this shit
Posted by: REALITY

Sure. As soon as I'm an admin, I'll change it! :p
Posted by: SeK612
I was just pointing it out for the admins :). Krohn is good with vBulletin so he should be able to sort it and know how to fix the other stuff.
Posted by: REALITY
It seems theres no Avatar options other than Do not use one...
Posted by: Guitar-Slinger
Well, if Khron is going to pull out a Dark Skin out of hat for this software,
I don't want to go back to the old one. ;)
I think it's a matter of little time for Rookie and Khron to sort the software out and
users to learn (like me) to learn where's what.
:)

I like this vB.
Just fix the avatars, imgs, sigs, quotes and we are all good.
Not backing up the post from 3 weeks ago though was boneheaded.
Oh well.
Posted by: Gurahl
quick reply enabled? Good!

found a new problem for you rookie
when you go to the User CP and click on Buddy / Ignore Lists it gives a board error. Just something for you to do when you get bored :).
Posted by: Filliz
And now Busyman got his avatar back too! :huh:
What's up with that?
Are they just popping back up randomly,or what?

Edit Sek i gave u a rep point what does it say?
Posted by: RGX
Sigs work, quick reply is kind of useful.
Posted by: REALITY
While editing my Sig I got "Your signature can not be longer than 300 characters".
I guess thatll be reset soon enough...

This might not be a big problem. But then again it might be. My birthday is showing the wrong date. That should not happen in a cross reference.
Posted by: KwahyaJ
Sek click on your own rep it should say something

When I click PM in the Forum jump I get:

This is getting too long for me to follow for bug fixing. How about we start a new thread on a specific bug and I'll close the threads as the bugs are fixed? Please check the current topics to make sure theres not already a thread about it.
