stuff

This place is looking pretty spiffy already!
Thank you to everyone who has helped get it all up and running smoothly.

I have alot of experience with message boards, implementing as well as moderating, if you need any help. Just give me a shout if there is anything I can do for y'all.

i suggest an IRC chat room set up and post the address here. i might be interested in getting a room and addy set up and going.

i forgot all about IRC. ive still got an ancient version of PIRCH i could use. cant you get an impeded version as well?

i was in the chat room almost constantly (usually the only one), so its only fair i offer to do some sort of setting up or hosting (im somewhat familiar with the commands and tags IRC uses).

Can we have a Boobies Forum?

Can we have a Boobies Forum?

LOL


Yeah I see the new post link now.

The Forum I'm refering to has a link to new topics right under where it says (on mine) "Welcome, JoshT"

---------------------------

IE:

Welcome, JoshT
Number Of Unread Posts: 25
You last visited: Today at 05:00 PM
Private Messages: Unread 4, Total 10.

---------------------------

The biggest difference in the new post search is that after the list of posts that've been updated since your last visit it has the following statement "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts." below that statement it continues on to list all unread posts.

That would be a nice feature to have

The replay form other forum's admin.

Josh,
Its a drop in modification that they can get from the VBulletin support area. They need to enter their VBulletin license number to get access.

One thing I'd forgotten to mention about that example I gave above, is IIRC that the "Number Of Unread Posts: 25" only shows the number of posts that have been updated since last visit.

one thing im sure you'll get to eventually, and i hate to mention it with all the other tuning that needs to be done....but...the white background sure is blinding...

 

[Ozwynn]

How are you guys with avitars getting them? All I have is a radial button that says don't use avitar and i can't turn it off

 

[Jeepman401]

The option showed up when I was updated to my premium member status

I still have to work on the avatar issue. VBulletin won't let you link one in your profile.

The speed and ease of use of these forums is head and shoulders over the old ones. I think they will continue to take off very fast!

Is there a way to change the layout of the forums at all? As in... right now all the user info goes to the top of the posts instead on the left (like it was). Is that controlled by the board (administrators) or can we change that for ourselves as like a preference? I was looking but didn't see anything.

 

[Jim Oaks]

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?

 

[DK27]

Yes, clubrsx.com features the "old style" layout for threads.

 

[06yellowranger]

Yeah, rangerpowersports.com has the layout that he's talking about
