VBulletin setup input

[dsotmoon]

As of right now I don't see anyway to change the layout to display posts in a format like the old forum. Has anyone seen it different on another Vbulletin?

first off from one forum owner to another, sorry for whats going on here at TRS, hope you get it settled soon, second, you can change the layout to "legacy" in the admincp

admincp > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template

click yes & save

any other questions let me know, been around vB for awhile

I've seen posts about setting up VBulletin.



Anyone use Blog? Wonder if we can get that.

vbulletin is beta testing a blog system now, should be out soon

I see a setup for plugins. I need to figure out where to get them and what's available.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/ - click on the mods tab

Chat. Do I dare? This is suppose to be how the hackers got in before.

also check out flashchat, integrates well with vB, even using same usernames

I also saw a site that had a gallery system that looked better than what we use to use. I'm thinking about purchasing something like that to add when we got everything the way we want it.

check out photopost & vbGallery

x2 i love boobies!

Now, I've told you guys this before. There are plenty of birding sites on the net.

But here's a couple to help you wait.

Jim,

The 'TRS' banner at the top of the forums is linked to the main forum index page....even when you are at the main forum index page. There is no easy way to return to the TRS home page. Can this be fixed?...or am I missing it? It seems the 'TRS' banner should point back to the TRS home page.

Just my $0.02. Thanks for all your hard work!

Paul.

if that puts the user info on the left, do it! i cant get used to this horizontal stuff

I think IRC would be a good route to go with the chat I used to be very familiar with UnrealIRCd. You could even setup a java client such as http://www.pjirc.com/main.php

i agree with the irc idea!

not sure if it's Vbulletin or not, but it's called itrader, we use it on Greatlakes4x4.com all the time, it make one much more comfortable when selling/buying parts to/from people because you can leave positive and negative feedback. here is our itrader page, not sure if you have to register or not to see it: http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/itrader_main.php?

I've found it emensely useful, and it will definately weed out the bad sellers/buyers.

is there anyway to change Rep Power's name to Reputation power? it's not all that easy to figure out what it could mean by "rep"

Also, we have a fuature there that we can code video into a post, like from youtube. we just put [YOUTUBE]url-of-youtube-video[/YOUTUBE] and it embeds a little video screen in the post, same with google video and a couple other ones I think. It beats having a link.
