    Attention Forum Upgrade - Post all Bugs, Comments, and Issues Here.

    I've decided to bite the bullet and see what happens with vB4 on the live site. Let me know what's broken for you, what you like, what you don't like, etc.

    I say good move. I would suggest that all users empty the cache on your browsers. Also, the smilies are there you just need to hit the "Go Advanced" button and not use the quick reply.

    The first thing I had a habit of doing on the old format was looking at the bottom of the Forums screen to read the list of most recent posts.....it kind of gave me a heads up to the type of day the site was having. Is that view still somewhere around here? The second thing that caught my eye was that the individual posts do not have a date/time on them unless you change your display mode and then the date/time is listed with persons posting on the top of the thread.....

    Please note that I am only "feedbacking".....not complaining. These are things that caught my attention. Now I will attempt to load a photo.....

    The thing that generated that summary was an add on that has not been updated for this version of the software. You can, however, click on the "What's new?" link at the top of the forums and it should give you an overview of the things that have been posted on the site since your last visit.

    I see the date/time on the posts just fine. What browser/display mode do you use? Can you send me a screenshot?

    I see the date and time also.

    One thing that sticks out is when I click on "Reply To Thread" it puts my curser directly into the Quick Reply. However, I don't always see that and keep clicking on the "Reply to Thread". If someone new tries to post I can see them giving up thinking it is not working. Can you have it go directly to "Go Advanced"? When you edit a post it does that.

    Ben,

    When you go to the gallery the alphabet used to find a members gallery is really small and hard to see.

    Yeah, I had to upgrade the gallery software to get it to work with this version of vBulletin. I had to rush that - I'll have to figure that out sometime this week.

    Ben, I think the forum front page is too wide and the color for the topic text (on the right) is too light green. Not contrasted enough.

    Observation

    When you prompt "Find all posts" or "Find forum posts" on a members profile, you will only receive a list of posts since the changeover. All other posts are not on the list.

    I'm pretty sure that rebuilding the search index just fixed that. Check it out.

    It's working good now, Ben. Getting all members posts except my own. I logged out and was able to retrieve them. Don't know why I can't see them when I'm logged on. Maybe I'm supposed to remember them all.

    Very nice, so far. It's not really much of a change in navigating the forums, mainly in appearance. And it looks great!

    Thanx for all your dedication and hard work.

    No problems at all Ben. Running XP SP3, IE8. I like the new look. Thanks for the effort, it is appreciated.
    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
