Looks like it's your turn, everyone

It appears HWC will be upgraded to the latest version of vbulletin this week. Maybe in the next day or 2. Thought you'd like a head's up. I will be doing the front end of the upgrade and I will also be the guy answering requests and questions afterward.

Excellent! maybe with a newer better version, we will solve our low logged member problem. IM SMLLING 500 AVERAGE BABY! good luck with your work jpnyc

Cool, maybe it'll fix the smily, it just doesnt seem to do the job.

Can we keep other smileys though? Not a fan of most vb3 or though

 

[krupted]

hmm, i wonder how much different its gonna look- i remember the last upgrade i thought was drastic, but looking back it hardly changed appearance at all.

 

[dannyboy27]

that's good news

I wonder if it will fix the bug where smilies always appear at the end of the post you're creating, even if the cursor is in the middle of the post

 

[Martin_89]

yeah that annoys me, ive noticed that.

 

[wonderinguy34]

Does that mean I'm gonna have to Log-on again instead of being Auto-logged on???Dang I'm gonna have to try and remember my password again ,if you don't hear from me for several weeks you'll know why.

 

[Marvt74]

Heh in my nice safe way i've the same password for all the forums i use tis easy to remember then.

You could just use the forgot password, unless you dont remember the password for the email you used all those years ago

Probably something like this (different colour scheme obviously). The vB interface is definitely an improvement.

not sure i like that with the avitars at the top of each post. im sure ill get used to it.

Sharky's was upgraded last week.

Yes the smiley issue was resolved by vBulletin

That looks fine, just i didnt like VirtualDR

 

[Admin]

Well I'm afraid the layout will resemble VDR more than Sharky.

 

[krupted]

Vdr looks good, but i think i have to agree with martin, having the avatars and info on top of posts takes up the precious down-scrolling room. With the higher resolutions most people run nowadays we need more room up and down not on the sides

Pssst...gives them more room for ads

 

[Admin]

We can put the poster info anywhere ya like. We just figured with the ads on the side, having the stuff up top would be best. But if most of you want it on the side, it'll be on the side.

 

[Martin_89]

i do prefer the info on the side, maby a vote about it to see what most people want?

 

[Admin]

Yeah after we upgrade and they see the choices.

 

[Martin_89]

any more info on when this will be happening now? and how long the forum will be down for?
