Hi Everyone.

Welcome to the new forums.

Over the next few days we will be working completing the migration purpose.

Current Features not working:

Avatar Uploads
Signature Uploads
Spam bot protection for new registration (so registration is still on lockdown)
Forum Skin (to be completed at a later date!)

Key features working from vBulletin 3.8

Search Index Restored - you can now search threads again
Auto save functionality in posts - you shouldnt loose your essay posts should your browser crash.
Visitor messages retained (Dev board had them as lost)
Mobile Skin
Lots of potentially new features :-). More on this later...

There will be a 1 hour downtime tomorrow to complete the remaining features (Avatar uploading, Spambot protection, signatures + general bug fixing)

Please post forum issues HERE.

Anyway... welcome... and goodnight.

H

Keeping in that vein, I begin my work on the cosmetic aspects of the site tonight, hopefully we'll be able to get a good looking rollin' by the end of the weekend.

As a vB website owner, coder, designer and server programmer. vB 4 is the worst software I have ever had to work with.

But ok.

HUGE thanks to Hassan for all of the prep work he did this week and the work he did today in upgrading the site! Thanks in advanced to Lucid for making the forum look good!

Yes, and the forum broke, but this time it was done successfully. We found out the necessary repairs that we needed to do in order to prevent the failure from happening again, Hassan and Lucid made those repairs, and now we were able to successfully complete the process.

Sounds great guys. Will be making another financial investment soon to help out if it does.

Yeah, I've already spazzed out and messed up my page.

Props to myself!

I was sitting here going "Where the hell is the reply box!?!" then I realized I wasn't signed in. -.-

On the other hand, when I opened up the site I actually yelled out "Jesus ****ing Christ what is this!?!"

Please don't let the first skin be all black :CCry1

EDIT: Is there a way for me to change the width that threads are displayed in?

Are you ****ing kidding me, everything looks weird as ****... That was capital F word, for those that don't work out the bleeped letters. I'm rather irritated at the sudden change. Perhaps I missed an announcement, but it looks like shit, and I hate it.

Everything is white. I liked the classic blue layout.

How do I get to the user pc now? I can't go to my options to change the skin :CStern

EDIT:
Ugh, and the advanced setting has the faces very small.

Chillax, comrade, and read the opening post! :3

Lucid is working on fixing the display quirks. Most of our skins broke [I think?] in the switch to vb4, and it'll be some time before they're back up. I'm glad the site's back up already, though; I'd rather have the site in ugly Apple white than no site at all!

edit:

I'll be playing around with the user CP later tonight. If anyone bumps into any problems, I'll try to help out. No promises, though, as I haven't used vb4 in ages. Anywho, Send me a PM and I'll do what I can for you.

oya and also: Massive thanks to our tech team! Y'all are awesome.

I already have code for the style sheets to bring the width back to what it was, I have them from my own site when I upgraded to vB4.

If anyone wants my code, I'd be more than happy to give it to them.

It seems like I only have 10 subscribed threads, as opposed to the previous 156 (approximate).

I thought the search tool already worked. It did for me.

@Icaro: Yes please.

EDIT:
Subscriptions are fine, I was on Des's account by accident.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
