Upgrade of Forums

[Zor]

Well all, I just got the new version of vBulletin, so everything is updated. Just a few tweeks I want to get running.

Cheers!

I have a bookmark that takes me directly to the "New Posts" button. I clicked the bookmark and because you updated the forums I was logged out. I could see some threads but when I clicked them it took me to a Page Not Found screen. I couldn't login either; page not found. I had to go to the homepage or something, and then back to the forums.

[Zor]

Still working on it...time padawan! Heheheh

Cheers!

looking good Zor i know how it is to tweek, got it going on no doubts. keep up the good work.

[Zor]

Thanks, I got rid of the front page and only have this forums/portal page. The Help Tabs on the Navigation Menu will get you to the good old compiler and other such that was on the main page.

Cheers!

whats up with the ADS up top? or was that always there?

[Zor]

Well the ads are to see if I can recoup some money, and to put it towards the DoD Server that I am planning to purchase and run. So if you click on those I will be better off! Heheheh....

You no like?

Cheers!

[|OnEHiTwOnDeR|SoCal]

well in all honesty with no disrespect it makes the site look like one of those cheap free hosts the internet provides but forces users to have ads...u know what im talking about ?

[Zor]

I agree, however it cost money, and I have had this site going for about 3 years. And don't forget that Amxmodx uses the same stuff...might go with a smaller banner in the right corner.

Cheers!

What are you talking about? I don't understand?

Cheers!

[|OnEHiTwOnDeR|SoCal]

if a user tries to reply a post with a simple "alright" or a "oh ok" it doesnt let u post due to the message being "too short"

[Zor]

Yeah the post has to be something like 10 letters....duno, I don't usually respond unless its fairly long.

Cheers!

2 issues found so far....

1. can not do a search of forums.. any keyword used results in nothing at all !!

2. The calendar only allows posting events UP TO 2006 !!! (I tried to add a Happy New Year event today)

I will add more as I find it...


Question, how the forum shows the "recent" topics first... is that a global option that can be changed? Or is that a byproduct of the "upgrade" ?

[Zor]

Global option, its a box that can be moved around...why you thinking something else? I could have it just goto the index page.

Fixed Calendar....

Cheers!

Cheers!

No worry on the index/recent page.. was just curious.. just a matter of personal preference to want to see the whole forum upon coming in for the initial visit ... just something I am used to... your call though.

Calendar :)

[Zor]

Search :-)

Cheers!

[=|[76AD]|= TatsuSaisei]

Search :-)

Cheers!

:D

Thanx so much for all the work you put into this site... it trully is my second home away from home (online) !!!

Good job on the site Zor,

I'm not sure what you pay for this site but my host is incredible and very reasonable. I pay $7.49 a month for 999 gigs of Xfer and 300 gigs of HD space. Oh and by the way what location are you looking to lease a server in, because if its LA , you can get a bad ass dedicated dual xeon at 3.0 gig with 2 gigs of ram and extreme bandwidth for $149 a month in the largest data center in LA. Just an Fyi.

Hey guys, do you think you can increase the KB size for User CP forum Signatures to about 50KB for us regulars, at least for hosted images.

I cant even put a hosted image in here of any type, unless it's close to avatar size, 19.5 KB is way to small.

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 400 by 100 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

[diamond-optic]

ok it should allow up to 100kb now

[WARDOG]

Thanks man!

[WARDOG]

Hmm... well it says it uploaded, but no Signature is showing in threads, tried the image tags and host link in image sig box, but no image shows, maybe the code is not activated or a forum bug?

Owell, just letting you know, it at least took the file size this time.

[Zor]

Fixed the pic and the bb codes in signature.

[WARDOG]

Thanks Zor, that was it!

[WARDOG]

I have to log in twice to post? Once in the forum, and once for the post.?

[Zor]

Do you have cookies turned on. You shouldn't need to do so if you are storing the cookie. I never had or have problems.

[Tank]

Nor here, I use either IE 7.0 or FireFox 3.0.3 and no problems. I assume your cookies are not stored long enough or not even stored at all.

[WARDOG]

I guess it's to edit my post, you have to log in again, don't know why.

[diamond-optic]

ive had problems with replying to posts now.. it keeps telling me the message is too short when it definitly isnt.. only seems to happen in Firefox, i tried logging out, clearing cache and deleting cookies, and logging back in.. didnt help... but it works fine in IE

and also it keeps telling me theres new posts in a forum section after i have already read them all and i have to view the section again even without any new posts just to get it to show that there arent any in the main forum page

[Zor]

Updated the forums yesterday. Let me know if there are any problems!
