FORUM OUTAGE 4-07-07

[Y2K5SRT]

A quick note to all that these forums will be offline beginning this afternoon and should be back up and running later tonight. This is for a FULL migration to the new vBulletin software. Sorry for the short notice, however we have a certain window to accomplish this with the holidays and this is it. See you on the NEW forums shortly!

Say, these look pretty good!

 

[Y2K5SRT]

And we are working on the avatars currently...

 

[Lee00blacksilverGTS]

Looks good!
Clock is way off though...

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Clock is on GMT - you can change it by going to the USER CP link and then "Options" - took me a while to figure out too...

 

[C O D Y]

Very nice guys!

 

[Neil - UK]

looks great, good goin' guys

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Thanks fellas! This is obviously a major project and there are still some tweaks to be done (galleries, avatars, etc.). Stay tuned...

I note that a user's information is visible to everyone, now - even if you aren't logged in. And, it seems that a user's login name is replaced by the screenname? (My login name used to be a different name - i.e. not "Randy", and that login no longer works - I had to request a new password to find out the problem wasn't my password, but was instead my login. Seems less secure.

I'm *not* criticizing, I've done vBulletin configuration before, and am aware of the issues - and I know it is important to get feedback ASAP in case there are configuration problems; if nothing else than to forestall others having similar problems.

Randy -

I logged in from a couple different computers and different accounts. As a regular user viewing your profile I can only see your signature and that's it. It let's me look for your recent posts and threads (standard) and send you a PM. Nothing else. When you view your OWN profile it probably shows a lot more, but not when you look at others. Let me know if that isn't correct!

No hurry, but can I have my avatar back? Is this something I can do on my end? I don't want to make more work for you guys right now!

No, we don't want you to have an avatar. Seriously, if you peek at the other post at the top of this forum you will see that is one of the things that didn't transfer well. We are still working on it, but in the meantime you can upload your own - VIPER ONLY please!

Oh crap and I was just beginning to think that the enthusiasts could have their own non-Viper car in their avatar Wow this forum is gonna take some getting used to, it has become lightning fast, at least for me. However I do agree in part with Bonkers that the move to Fangs only is not right and that we also need Sneaky Pete in the top banner.
