maintenance downtime today

At about noon the site will go down for a vBulletin upgrade. Time depends on how many template edits are needed and how compatible the mods that are on here are with the new version. I'm guessing an hour or two.

Here's some info on the new version. We won't be getting all the new features but probably most of them.

 

Update - obviously the upgrade didn't go as smoothly as planned. Lots of template edits and a very obscure display bug that was on the member page. Still some stuff to iron out including:

* prefix display on forum pages (like "RR", etc)
* some icons
* etc

I'll be working on this a little more, but it's usable again so have at it.

 

:clap:

 

Thanks george for all your hard work.

 

+1 :beer:

 

So Jorge can I buy you a drink tonight for all your hard work?

The multi-quote feature is pretty sweet!

 

I cant add a thanks right now? Still uploading or something like that?It says I dont have access.

 

Yeah it's one of the things that needs work. Updated that mod as well but something's wrong with it. Will update when I know more.

The multi quote was there before :lol:

 

Cool, thanks.Man I cant imagine how much of a pain in the A$$ it is to keep this site running.I get frustrated just trying to post up pics.Good thing someone knows stuff about computers.Once again thank you.I owe ya a few beers.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Uhhh, yeah, of course, I knew that. I meant I'm glad you kept it... Yeah, that's the ticket...8-[

 

really the multi- quote was there, if only I'd known...thanks George, looks great.

 

Update on the thanks button: that mod itself hasn't been updated for this version of vBulletin. So it's a waiting game until it gets updated. Till then no more thanking. #-o

 

Thanks:wave:

 

Note: Lots of social features (groups/friends/etc), and the member page is all new as well. You can also customize the colors/background images on your member page. Yes . . . kind of like myspace expect with all the music/videos. Most of those things are in your User Control Panel. There are also pic albums in there - they *may* replace the old gallery (probably not). Don't use them for important pics until we decide how to use them.

 

hey guy, i asked about you on the bubb ride today... heard you were updating the site... thanks for your hard work bubb... you need to ride with us again eh

 

You might already know this George, but the uploading pics to albums has some bugs in it. After they upload when the preview/process page comes up, it gives an error on the next page. Just thought I'd throw it out there. It ends up loading duplicate copies of pics and does not upload others.

 

I need to read the rest of the info on here. Some of the updates sound cool...

Thanks, George.

 

No more "thanking"? GOOD, I won't lose any more ground to Allison!

 

haha!! "Thanks!"

I'll be upping my post count quite a bit until this gets resolved, George. :wave:
