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.

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:

I take it that any accounts started in the last 5 weeks are gone too?

rookiecrd1

10-04-2004, 02:34 PM

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 ?

Filliz

10-04-2004, 02:56 PM

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

10-04-2004, 03:04 PM

Are we errr....going to be able to use avatars and sigs?

Oh and the new look's kind of funky IMO.

Aaron_T

10-04-2004, 03:06 PM

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).

How do I stop seeing the url's instead of the proper sigs?

SeK612

10-04-2004, 03:14 PM

Try the user cp (Quick Links from the navbar -> Edit options -> Show images/sigs/avatars)

Admin CP -> User profile options -> Allow [img] code in signatures :)

Two small problems:
Can't upload (or link to) an avatar
Board clock is off by 13 minutes.

Aaron_T

excellent, so i can call him a chubby big foreheaded freak and get away with it :D

SeK612

10-04-2004, 03:36 PM

Can't upload (or link to) an avatar

Admin cp -> Usergroups -> Usergroup manager -> (whichever usergroup) -> Edit -> Picture Uploading Permissions -> Can upload custom avatars

bigdawgfoxx

10-04-2004, 03:37 PM

Sure. As soon as I'm an admin, I'll change it! :p

SeK612

10-04-2004, 03:43 PM

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.

RealitY

10-04-2004, 03:56 PM

It seems theres no Avatar options other than Do not use one...

Afronaut

10-04-2004, 04:02 PM

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.

:)

DanB

10-04-2004, 04:05 PM

Then I get to see it but, tbh like I care

Jayhawk

10-04-2004, 04:07 PM

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.

Guillaume

10-04-2004, 04:23 PM

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 :).

Filliz

10-04-2004, 04:26 PM

And now Busyman got his avatar back too! :huh:
What's up with that?

Are they just popping back up randomly,or what?

+ / - Karma (you give it to people who make good posts and stuff). I think you can get stuff if its high enough...

RealitY

10-04-2004, 04:32 PM

Sigs seems good now although you may all want to fix the URL in them...

Jayhawk

10-04-2004, 04:32 PM

What's this?

>> http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/buttons/reputation.gif <<

if u click on it it looks like you can rate that person's post or something i guess and you can get reputation points for making good post or something ... or lose

Edit Sek i gave u a rep point what does it say?

RGX

10-04-2004, 04:33 PM

Sigs work, quick reply is kind of useful.

RealitY

10-04-2004, 04:34 PM

While editing my Sig I got "Your signature can not be longer than 300 characters".
I guess thatll be reset soon enough...

Jayhawk

10-04-2004, 04:36 PM

i cant see ne 1s sigs i must have to turn something on?

SeK612

10-04-2004, 04:37 PM

Edit Sek i gave u a rep point what does it say?

Nothing...

If you look at the bar beneath your post count though thats where the Karma is displayed (hover your mouse over and a your status is displayed).

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.

Jayhawk

10-04-2004, 04:39 PM

Sek click on your own rep it should say something

i had to turn my pms on in my CP you should do the same

10-04-2004, 04:42 PM

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.
