Forum Upgrade

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-10-2008, 08:31 PM

VGF has been upgraded to the newest version of vBulletin. Did the upgrade go smoothly? I guess. You tell me.

X-3 · 05-10-2008, 08:34 PM

Looks horrible, in my opinion. The smilies are awful, and other things are weird too. :\

The site said it'd be down for an hour...but you got it up faster, I guess.

Metal Man · 05-10-2008, 08:36 PM

Quick reply box has now been shrunk in size. Meh.

Otherwise I don't see any real difference. I guess that's good.

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-10-2008, 08:39 PM

The smilies were bugging me, too. I found the old ones.

X-3 · 05-10-2008, 08:41 PM

Ah, thanks.

That was basically my largest complaint. The little icons that tell you whether something in a forum is "new" are different, and it's a bit annoying, but not a big deal.

EDIT: And they're back. Coolness, it's all good for me now.

Dumbledore · 05-10-2008, 08:41 PM

hm, not bad. Small QR box, though.

Metal Man · 05-10-2008, 08:42 PM

Yeah, you could change those ugly new reply pictures back to the old ones.

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-10-2008, 08:47 PM

Forum home page images updated.

Metal Man · 05-10-2008, 08:48 PM

There's some other things like topic icons which have reverted to the default look, but again, up to you.

Besides the shrunken Quickreply and that, though, I don't notice anything else--all that weird extra field stuff, however, doesn't show in profiles--though I get the idea those weren't working right in the first place.

Dumbledore · 05-10-2008, 08:48 PM

that smiley looks... never mind.

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-10-2008, 09:00 PM

Post icons restored.

Irby · 05-10-2008, 09:03 PM

Pretty pointless upgrade.

***Ynot Shane*** · 05-10-2008, 09:11 PM

There are a bunch of new features, but I'm just getting started.

Spoiler Below

Anyone bashing the upgrade as not having much to it will feel stupid after I am done.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 05-10-2008, 09:23 PM

I like my contacts list... looks very cool!!!

BTW, Shane, I left something for you to look at later in our forum.

Irby · 05-10-2008, 10:06 PM

I take back my comment.

When you're done, yes, but you can't really blame people for looking at what's up now and drawing conclusions.

Balrog · 05-10-2008, 10:17 PM

Val is pleased.

Blake · 05-10-2008, 10:20 PM

What is the purpose of the points and bank?

Balrog · 05-10-2008, 10:21 PM

^ You can use points to buy things in vbPlaza (gifts for other members, account features, etc.) The bank can be used to store points and gain interest.

Unless the rules have changed.
