Site News Vbulletin Upgrade

This is just a notice for those of you who don't know what's going on.

Last night, spdude's tech support guy upgraded us from version 3.6.8 to version 3.7.3. As you probably have noticed by now, there are some changed features along with some new ones.

What has been changed:

- Glossary added to navigation bar It can be accessed Here
- FAQ added to navigation bar It can be accessed Here
- Upgraded Profiles
- Visitor Messages enabled
- Social public groups enabled
- Thread tags
- Friend invite upgrade
- Notifications option enabled
- Albums enabled
- Users will no longer be allowed to set their username and passwords to the same value. Users who already have a password that is the same as their username will be forced to change their password on their next login.

There are a few bugs that we are working on still, so please be patient.

Note: It has been reported that people are having a hard time staying logged in. If you are running MSN Explorer, this may be the cause of the problem. Start up IE normally and it should work fine.

Update:

- Navigation bar fixed
- Tag image path fixed

Update 2:

-Collapse Generic image path fixed
-Menu Open Usercss image path fixed

Update 3: Profile tabs for IE fixed.

 

10 hours later...

 

I was at school... sue me for the VB update being on the first day I go back.

 

Lol, any of the other admins could have posted this. xD

Anywayz, i'm likin' the upgrade. Coolio with a hint of mint.

 

It's ok - we forgive you ^^

I like it - but it's going to take a while to get use to...

 

It has the potential to give more options and all. It may take some getting used to at first but there are more things you can do so bear with it and hopefully the few problems there are will be ironed out soon.

 

But they didn't did they? So it's on my shoulders. xD

 

Upgrade? No offense meant, I'm sure we'll all get used to it with time, but to me, this thing is a downgrade. The profile pages seem all out of whack, and my page has a lot of the dreaded "red X" marks where there are supposed to be images. Like on the album, contacts, and the other links underneath the statistics bar. Red X marks, dead images or something like that. I liked the profile pages the way they were, thank you.

And in my own personal opinion, the navigation bar looks really cluttered up now. Of course, that's just my opinion. This'll really take some time to get used too, and by the time we're used to it, it'll change again. Ah well, tis life.

But once all the kinks and bugs are worked out, I think it'll look nice. I just prefer the last version, with the profile pages the way there were. :sleepy:

 

XD guys if I had of posted you would have got something like this:

I hadn't got a ****ing clue about any of this until I logged in this morning >.> and it is only now I am home from work that I know enough to be able to tell other members. RvR is the expert here so it is for the best he posted it.​

 

The problem is that the thread tags were given an image path that doesn't exist because an image was never made for that feature on this skin. I'm going to try to get this fixed as soon as I can. The navigation bar will be adjusted too, just give us some time.

 

lolz nice CtR
Yeah the naviagater bar is really cluttered and messy - is there anything we can do about that? like put them in boxes or something

 

Take all the time you need, it's ok. Once it's cleaned up, I'm sure it'll look great. Besides, real life is more important than internet life. School is sadly, part of real life.

 

I don't find these upgrades too too bad, they just will take time to get used to.

 

I'm just wondering. I really don't know the name of what this add on is or anything, but if you check the Planet Render forums, there are a lot of members that have their username beyond the capacity that is viewed, but when you click it...a drop down thing comes up showing the full username and "private message" and such. Are we able to do that?

 

It looks pretty cool. I like it. (thumbs up)

 

These upgrades are awesome.

 

The update's pretty cool.

Nice job, guys.
