Ahhhhhhhh KK no rush

/me likes. Although I'm not the worlds greatest fan of vBulletin I'm grateful for the fact that now I can log in and stay logged in. UBB5 would never remember to save my cookie properly and every time I closed my browser it'd disappear. I'll probably spend a bit more time here now because of that.

Woohoo:
Private Messaging (it is enabled right?)
More Options
You seem to have ported all the posts and accounts perfectly

Bah:
Looks a little too sharp, plasticy and confusing
No Iframe at the bottom of the post page, that thing was damn handy
There are gaps between each post, it looks wierd
The Member level thingy is wierd: Nov 2001 with 400 posts is a Senior Member whereas a Jun 2001 with 500 post is a Member (or is that just something you guys have done?)
Some threads say 467 posts with only 17 views

Do the old smileys work?

Never mind about the Member thing. It appears to sort itself out when you post.

Actually, I'm glad to see that go, I hated that hack with a passion...

Really? Heh, neat!

We're still working on the forum styling and avatars, so don't worry about those.

PS. Guys, about your sigs: vB automatically sticks tags around them, so if you want, you can kill the tags you've got around them currently.

How do you turn off the Subscribe To Thread thingy?

an0n · **Reply #27 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:04:28 am

Looking at the Members list it occurs to me that there are a lot of one-post-wonders. I love that feature.

IceFire · **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:07:04 am

Aahh, you've seen the light and started using vBulletin!

an0n · **Reply #29 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:09:22 am

UBB ro0lz all.

Doesn't vBulletin have some crippling security flaws? In the older versions you could get access to admin accounts and lock out the real admin just by altering a string in the address bar.

I'm not sure. I eventually got to it through the admin CP, but there's gotta be a way to do it as a standard user. Keep looking around...

As for security, vB is on top. We had UBB and we got hacked. Twice. No thanks...

Fineus · **Reply #31 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:17:06 am

Oh, and an0n... 100 posts deducted for constant spamming instead of simply editing one post (yes it's evil, sue me

)

Ive done it through the profile menu, theres a few twiggling to do (mainly press unsubscribe) and go into options and click NO for one of the options, im just confusing ppl here

Profile -> Edit Options -> Use Email Notification by Default I think is what does it.

an0n · **Reply #36 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:34:05 am

The Hosted forums ain't got their own colours.

Fineus · **Reply #37 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:38:29 am

Admiral - yep, and if your subscribed to a thread you can unsubscribe by clicking the relevant link in the email

Oh, and I don't intend to deduct posts from people all the time - but it's something I'll consider if people insist on spamming instead of thinking about editing their posts.

Oh, and it occurs to me - and this is important so it's in bold...

The forum has a large and fairly detailed FAQ which can be found here. Please read it and make sure the answers you seek aren't in it before asking us. Thanks

Oh, and in addition - the PM feature means you can PM us instead of posting topics if you require something from one person. Think afor ye post

Nico · **Reply #38 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:39:53 am

hey, can we have the lvlshot tag back? that's a damn lot of therads to edit otherwise...

an0n · **Reply #39 on:** February 14, 2002, 09:43:31 am

And the smileys. We needs our smileys.
